ovm_sequence_item vs. ovm_transaction?

[alain]

Hi,

From what I understand, an ovm_sequence_item is a transaction object meant to be used in a sequence, is that right?

Are there cases where we should prefer one over the other?

You are correct that ovm_sequence_item is used in sequences and ovm_transaction is used when randomization is not done within a sequence, i.e. monitor, scoreboard, config object, etc.

The ovm_sequence_item is a ovm_transaction with additional capabilities to work with ovm_do and ovm_do_with.
