Setting start IDs for batch, recipe/library, formula, category and material objects
To ensure that no deleted IDs can be used internally in the system for batch, recipe/library,
formula, category and material objects following a restore, as of version SB V7.1 SP2, it is
possible to have the system ascertain the last assigned IDs for these objects in the "Restore"
dialog and to preset them. This action is executed by the "Read out IDs" function in the
"Restore" dialog. Following a restore, newly generated objects then begin at the next ID. If this
function is not enabled (default setting), 1 is entered as the start ID and the previous behavior
is retained; in other words, newly created objects begin with the first free ID.
Note
To be able to use this function, the backup file must be created with a software version SIMATIC
BATCH V7.1 SP2 or higher.
Requirements
● The BATCH database is still empty or does not yet exist. Only in this case can the restore
function in the BATCH Control Center be selected and executed.
● Only backup files from the current or an older SIMATIC BATCH version are supported.
Procedure
To execute the "Restore" function, perform the following steps:
1. Start BatchCC.
Result: The editing window in BatchCC is still empty.
2. Select the menu command Options > Restore. Select the backup file (*.sbb) you require.
3. Decide whether the log (database log) should be restored. Select or clear the check box.
4. In the input boxes, you can set a start ID for objects such as batches, recipes/libraries,
formulas, categories and materials. In order to know the counter number you are starting
from, click the "Read out IDs" button. The last IDs contained in the backup are then
displayed. Select a least one higher start ID number.
5. Then, in the boxes for batches, recipes/libraries, formulas, categories and materials, enter
the ID (e.g., ID for your first new batch) in the adjacent input box in each case under "Start
ID" or leave the default at Start ID = 1.
6. Click the "Open" button.
