Set up Reflection to Access Management and Security Server

Use this procedure to set up Reflection to open session documents that are managed on the Management and Security Server.

To set up Reflection to use the Micro Focus Management and Security Server

  4. In Server URL, enter the URL for the Management and Security Server.

  5. Select Test Connection and provide any necessary information to authenticate to the Reflection Management Server.

  6. Close and reopen the workspace.

    When you reopen the Workspace, any assigned packages are installed and any assigned session profiles are downloaded to your computer. Session profiles are updated if they do not exist or if the "Overwrite end user files" option was selected in the Session Manager.

    NOTE:When a session profile is centrally managed it should not be renamed or moved. Doing so will prevent you from receiving updates from the server.

Set Up a Workspace Startup Action Sequence

You can set up Reflection to perform a series of actions when a workspace starts, rather than when a session opens and connects to the host.

This allows you to automate actions that are independent of a session. For example, if you are creating Visual Basic for Application (VBA) macros, you can set up an action sequence that opens the VBA Editor and the VBA Guide when you open a workspace.

To set up a workspace startup action sequence

  2. Under Workspace Settings, click Configure Workspace Defaults.

  3. Under Workspace and Documents, in the When starting workspace list, select Run Startup action.

  4. Click Select Action.

  5. On the left pane of the Select Action dialog box, under Map To, select Action Sequence.

  6. Under Run Startup Action, click Add and, in the Action list, choose an action.

  7. Repeat Step 6 to add additional actions and complete the action sequence.
