API to get all OVM component handles

Question

Is there an API to get all OVM component handles in a verification environement? The reason why I am asking is, I need to convert down OVM_FATAL to OVM_NOPRINT using OVM report handler. This report handler is an object instantiated in each ovm_component. Currently I have set_report_severity_action_hier(OVM_FATAL, OVM_NO_ACTION) called from base_test which just applies to the test. I need to have this affect all the components like monitor and driver.

Thanks in advance

There is a ovm_component::find_all() method, but that has the same issue as set_report_severity_action_hier(); you need to call it after all the components have been built. The OVM does not have a phase_ready_to_end() callback, so you need to put the call to set_report_severity_action_hier() in any phase after the build in your base test.
