Inter-DB Macros

Administrator User Guide

Project Administration : Data Options on the Main Menu : Inter-DB Macros

Inter-DB macros are created in the following situations:

•

A user in MODEL attempts to make a connection to an element which is in a Design database to which the user does not have write access,

•

A user in MODEL attempts to make a connection to an element which is in a multiwrite Design database to which the user has write access, but the element is already claimed by another user.

•

A user in ISODRAFT updates REVISION and DETAIL attributes, which need to be stored in the Design database, to which the user has no access.

In these cases an inter-database connection macro will be created. For example, if the current project is sam, the inter-database connection macro will be created in directory sammac with filename samnnn.mac.

When the user who does have write access to the second database enters AVEVA E3D™, a message that there is an inter-database connection macro to be run will be displayed at the bottom of the AVEVA E3D™ MONITOR form.

Any inter-DB macros can be displayed by selecting Data > Inter-DB Macros from the main Admin menu. The Inter-db Macro form will be displayed.

A macro can be deleted by selecting it in the scrolling list and clicking Delete. This allows the administrator to delete any macros, not just the macros for the current team.
