What is the difference between export port and import port

Hi,

Please explain me the difference between export_port and import_port and tell me where i can use only export port not import port and vice versa.

Thanks & Regards
Sachin

A port has methods which are implemented in an export.

When you connect a port to an export and call a method, then the place where the method is executed is in the export.

See chapter 2 of the UVM users guide, especially section 2.3 for examples and more explanation.
