So upon an EDP Neighbor Added trap, the following command will set the display string of the EDP
port to “Test-EPICenter”
conf port $ToCliPort($trap(1)) display-string “Test-EPICenter”
For example, if the trap returns an IfIndex of 1009, the
$ToCliPort
function will convert it to 1:9, so
that the resulting CLI command is:
conf port 1:9 display-string “Test-EPICenter”
Saving a Macro
To save a macro you have defined, type a name for the macro and an optional description, and click
Save .
All current contents of the macro buffer will be saved in the database under the name you specify, as
well as any user defined variables, the execution context, and the execution role specifications.
Once a macro has been saved, based on the execution context and role, the macro appears in the Macros
submenu of EPICenter Tools menu, and in right-click pop-up menus.
Loading a Macro for Editing
To load a saved macro for editing, click the Load button. This displays the Load Macro pop-up window.
See “Loading a Saved Macro” on page 207 for more information.
Deleting a Macro
You can delete a saved macro by clicking the Delete button. A pop-up window similar to the Load
Macro window appears. Select one or more macros to delete, then click Delete .
You will be asked to confirm the deletion.
If the macro you want to delete is used as an Alarm action, a warning appears. If you proceed to delete
the macro, it is removed from any alarm definitions that were using it.
Importing Macros
You can import macros that are defined in an XML file. To import macros, click the Import button.
EPICenter opens the file selection dialog as appropriate for your system, allowing you to specify a file
to be imported. Macros that are imported successfully will appear in the Load Macro dialog. The last
macro to be imported is also shown in the Macro Editor. You can include multiple macros in a single
import file.
EPICenter checks the import file for formatting errors, invalid attributes, and for duplicate macro
names. If there are errors in the file, EPICenter displays an error message and the file is not loaded.
If the file contains a macro with a name that duplicate a macro already in EPICenter’s database, you are
asked whether you want to overwrite the existing macro.
