General information

Macro is a tool used to configure system responses to certain events. System response can include one or several actions. For example, when a fire is detected—to activate voice notification, when a camera is disarmed—to send an email notification and initiate an alarm, and so on.

Attention!

Macros work only within the same Axxon-domain. You cannot use objects belonging to another Axxon-domain in start conditions (see Configuring start conditions) and in macro actions (see The Domain object).

Types of macros

There are three types of macros:

Types of macros	Description
Event rules	These macros can run automatically on receiving the specified events or initiated manually by the operator. When an event is received, the actions in the macro are executed once
Automatic rules	These macros run every time when a detector generates an event (see Detectors, Automatic rules)
Cycle macros	These macros can run automatically after a specified period of time, or at a random time within a specified interval. Cycle macros are run on the first server in the Axxon-domain in alphabetical order available at the time of starting the macro. Cycle macros are executed immediately after you save them in the system, unless they have been created outside the time schedule. After completing all actions, macro is automatically restarted. Additionally, a cycle macro can be started automatically in a specified time interval, or at a random moment within the specified time interval. In this case, all actions in the macro are executed once
