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 multi-write 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 the AVEVA base product, a message that there is an inter-database connection macro to be run will be displayed at the bottom of the Monitor window.
Any inter database macros can be displayed by clicking Inter-DB Macros on the Manage tab. The Inter-db Macro window is 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.
