Siemens SIMATIC BATCH Operating Manual page 253

● If the "Default user" option is activated for SIMATIC Logon, SIMATIC Logon automatically
logs on the "Default user" when the user currently logged on logs off. This automation is
transparent for SIMATIC BATCH. A session profile is generated and stored in the Batch
data base for this user, too.
● If a user is logged on to more than on PC at any one time, the changes in regard to his
session information is not immediately (during the current session) displayed on the other
PC.
Example:
If the user closes his session on computer "A" and has previously changed session information
on computer "B", he will find such session information stored in the database for computer "B"
when he logs on again to computer "A".
Time period in which the user-specific data is saved
A session is defined as the time period in which a specific user is logged on to a client
application (BCC or BRE). If SIMATIC Logon is installed and the application is already
launched, the session begins with the logon. If the application is launched after a logon, the
current SIMATIC LOGON user is used automatically. In this case, the session begins with the
start of the BATCH Control Center application. The session ends with the logoff, the logon of
another user or the closing of the application.
Session information that is saved
The following data is part of a session and is therefore saved as session information in the
database:
● Size and position of the main window (BCC and BRE) are only changed after these
applications are started, not when the user changes.
● Size and position of dialogs that are scalable.
● Configured language.
● Selected shortcuts.
● If the column widths in a list can be changed or the column display can be toggled on and
off: width of the columns, arrangement of columns and visibility of columns.
● Position, size and visibility of the menu bars.
● The last directory set in all SIMATIC BATCH dialogs where this selection is possible.
● Window settings for batches (size and position).
● Open control recipe window are saved for each user at the end of the session and reopened
at the beginning of the next session. If you wish to avoid this, press the Shift key when
logging on or when changing users.
