This option enables you to import macros into Smart Instrumentation from a predefined intermediate text file that already contains macros exported from another database or domain to the current database or domain. When importing macros, this text file serves as the source file. Note that you can also import all the typical tags that have been included in the text file.
Importing macros requires the existence of a sppid_macro component table in the target
database or domain, Domain Administrator access rights, and a predefined source .txt
file.
