FlowTracer Roles When using FlowTracer in large deployments, three main roles emerge: Administrator, Developer and User. In smaller organizations, a given person may have multiple roles, but the duties of each role still exist. Introduction to VOV FlowTracer is derived from the system "VOV" originally developed at UC-Berkeley. The word "VOV" is not an acronym, but can be thought of as a contraction of the word "evolve". Concepts and Terminology Run, Rerun, Stop and Kill Jobs The act of requesting FlowTracer to bring a particular target up-to-date is sometimes called a Retrace Request or more simply a Retrace.

Troubleshooting: Cannot Enable Project Shutting Down a Project Destroy a Project A project must be stopped before it can be destroyed. Sanity Check for vovserver The command sanity is used to perform checks on the consistency of the trace and of other internal data structures. Resource Management Altair Accelerator includes a subsystem for managing computing resources. This allows the design team to factor in various constraints regarding hardware and software resources, as well as site policy constraints. Rename Nodes Renaming of nodes is a task for more advanced users. In most cases, it is simpler to forget all nodes and rebuild the trace from scratch.
