Monitoring a BATCH Launch Coordinator from a BATCH client
You can monitor the status of any batch process cell by starting the BATCH Launch
Coordinator on a BATCH client, without BATCH server installation. When the Launch
Coordinator is started, a dialog opens showing all loaded batch process cells. Once you have
selected a batch process cell, the Launch Coordinator icon appears showing the status of its
process cells in the status bar of the BATCH client.

Meaning
The BATCH project is loaded and the BATCH server applications (services) have
not yet started. Then the server applications for the loaded project are started.
The BATCH server applications (service) are closed.
An information dialog opens, showing the BATCH data for the loaded project.
This function is only available if your batch process cell data is not yet loaded on
the batch server. It opens a dialog, which automatically closes once your batch
process cell data is loaded on the BATCH server.
As soon as the system detects a configuration error in your BATCH project, a
warning dialog is displayed on the screen. You can exit the dialog by clicking "OK",
or press the "More Information" button to obtain details about the error in another
dialog. The system provides information on how to make your project configuration
consistent. Only then will the project be released for operation.
This menu command is only enabled on a BATCH client without installation of a
BATCH server. You open the "Select BATCH project" dialog with this function.
The dialog displays all available BATCH projects in the network with their unique
database identifiers (DBIdent) for selection. If you select a project and then click
"Select", this project is visualized on the BATCH client. Pressing the "Information"
button opens a dialog, which displays important information about the project.
Example: Name of the Batch process cell, etc.

to change the start mode. The change menu is only available when the status is
"ready", "running" or "listening". If WinCC server is installed on the BATCH server,
then the BATCH Launch Coordinator automatically starts after WinCC Runtime
starts. If WinCC Server is not installed then the Launch Coordinator starts auto‐
matically after a delay of approximately 15 seconds.

to change the start mode.

dinator, PCS 7 status and the batch server applications.
