Getting a config db variable value in higher hierarchy

In reply to smukerji:
In the set command you have also to use a string as the simple name:

function void build_phase(uvm_phase phase);
      super.build_phase(phase);
      uvm_config_db#(int)::set(this, "*", "error_source", ERROR_FROM_SEQUENCE);
endfunction


This presumes ERROR_FROM_SEQUENCE is the value you want to put to the config_db.
