Understanding and Creating Directives › Macro Step Directives

Macro Step Directives

Macro step-related value directives are initiated in the Component Blueprint by selecting a macro element under Diagnostics, Macros or Utilities, or Macros, and then clicking Add Step. Existing macro steps are viewed and edited from Macro Step tree that appears when you select a macro step element.

The fields displayed vary by the Directive Type selected.

Examples

• The IBM WebSphere 6 Server Instance (UNIX) v6.* Component Blueprint defines a Remote Execution macro step directive that starts WebSphere Server with the help option.
• The BIG-IP Load Balancer v*.* Component Blueprint defines a Get SNMP macro step directive that retrieves the total uptime values at the specified MIB address.
