Using Global and Personal Macros
NOTE: Macros may not be created, edited, copied or deleted if the DSR Remote Operations software is being
used to connect to the DSR appliance viewing the target device. See DSR Remote Operations Software on
page 433 for more information.
NOTE: You must have Appliance Administrator privileges to create and modify Global Macros. See User Groups
on page 19 for more information.
Three kinds of macros are available in the DSView software. Exit Macros are created within the
DSView 3.0 Explorer for use by and reside on DSR switches. See Defining exit macros on
page 200 for more information.
The other two kinds, Global Macros and Personal Macros, are created and used by the Video
Viewer. Global Macros are created and maintained by DSView users with Administrative
privileges and are stored on the hub server and any specified spoke servers. See Viewing and
modifying session settings on DSR switches or CPS appliances on page 194 for more information
on Global Macros.
NOTE: Global and Personal macros may also be created in the Telnet/SSH applet window. Macros created
using the Telnet/SSH applet window are not compatible with the Video Viewer and may only be used with target
devices connected to CPS appliances.
Personal Macros are created by a DSView user for their own use and are accessed on the local
computer using the Video Viewer window. Personal Macros may be customized and grouped in
any manner you wish with the exception of being included in a Global Macro group.
When a session is started in the DSView software, Global and Personal Macros are retrieved from
the DSView Server. Then, when a Video Viewer window session is started, the macros are loaded.
A DSView user may choose to use either Personal Macros or Global Macros and switch between
using them at any time during the session.
Both Personal and Global Macros may be added to the Video Viewer window toolbar by assigning
an icon to them using the Toolbar tab on the Session Options dialog box. A DSView user may then
execute the macro by clicking the button on the toolbar. See Modifying the toolbar on page 247 for
more information.
