    The Verification Academy offers users multiple entry points to find the information they need. One of these entry points is through Topic collections. These topics are industry standards that all design and verification engineers should recognize. While we continue to add new topics, users are encourage to further refine collection information to meet their specific interests.

    The Verification Academy is organized into a collection of free online courses, focusing on various key aspects of advanced functional verification. Each course consists of multiple sessions—allowing the participant to pick and choose specific topics of interest, as well as revisit any specific topics for future reference. After completing a specific course, the participant should be armed with enough knowledge to then understand the necessary steps required for maturing their own organization’s skills and infrastructure on the specific topic of interest. The Verification Academy will provide you with a unique opportunity to develop an understanding of how to mature your organization’s processes so that you can then reap the benefits that advanced functional verification offers.

function void build();
  ovm_factory f;
  f=ovm_factory::get();
  f.set_type_override_by_name("sequence_1","sequence_2");
endfunction  //coded in Test Build function

I have tried overriding the above sequence1 by sequence2. But once the test runs it not happening. Still my sequence1 is being used by the subsequences. please give me a solution. I am new to writing test cases
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// sequence_1 is coded in a separate package,eg ., apb_seq_pkg as follows,
class sequence_1 extends apb_seq_pkg::apb_base_seq;
`ovm_sequence_utils(sequence_1, ovm_sequencer)

function new();
super.new();
endfunction

task body();
write_reg(data,status,reg_name,dev_name);
endtask

function void print_cfg();
endfunction
endclass
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// sequence_2 is coded below the test itself,
function void build(); //part of test build function alone
ovm_factory f;
f=ovm_factory::get();
f.set_type_override_by_name("sequence_1","sequence_2");
endfunction

class sequence_2 extends apb_seq_pkg::sequence_1;
`ovm_sequence_utils(sequence_2, ovm_sequencer)

function new();
super.new();
endfunction

task body();
// write_reg(data,status,reg_name,dev_name); //basically i need to disable this write so i am trying to do sequence override. The apb_seq_pkg(sequence_1) is a softlink so i need to do overrride from test only to disable the write. The sequence is called in subsequence through the test.
endtask

function void print_cfg();
endfunction

endclass
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is not working for me. The register write is happening anyway. please help me on this. I am new to ovm.

Can you show the code where you construct sequence_1?

In reply to Arun_Rajha:

You just posted the exact same code as your original question, the declarations for sequence_1 and _2. Where do you call the constructor before starting the sequence? Are you calling new() instead of create()?

In reply to dave_59:
Yes i understand now what you were asking before,
i have used `ovm_do_with(sequence_1, { m_write==local::m_write}); to call the sequence_1 in another sequence named mptb_ack_seq.

But I am not using new() or create() here instead i am directly calling this(ovm_do_with) without registering to the factory. So basically i am not registering the object in the factory. That is reason i am not able to override the sequence from my test. Correct me if i am wrong.
