Updating process cell data after changes in the engineering system

Updating process cell data
If you have made changes to the BATCH-relevant process cell data in the engineering system
(ES) or have entered new data, for example a new unit, you must also make such changes
known in SIMATIC BATCH by reading the process cell data into the BATCH Control Center
again. When you do this, all the BATCH data is updated.
Note
Updating the process cell on the BATCH client
The updating of the process cell data takes place only on the BATCH client on which this phase
has just been started. All other BATCH clients continue to have access to the BATCH server
and batch process.
Changes in master recipes, library operations, formulas and formula categories are not,
however, possible at this point. If you attempt this, a dialog indicates that it is not possible.
Requirement
The batch plant data created in the Engineering System (ES) has been downloaded from the
engineering station to the runtime computer of the BATCH server.
What has been changed or added in the basic engineering?
Before you decide on an update, in the "Preview" tab you can display all changes made
between the current process cell data currently loaded in Batch and the new process cell data.
If you want to update the data later, click the "Cancel" button in the dialog.
The preview shows which objects have been deleted, changed or added in color.
The time when the process cell data was updated in the BCC is also displayed and when the
process cell data was loaded from the ES the last time.
If the two time stamps differ, SB is not working with the current process cell data, which can
lead to problems.
Since the preparation of the data is implemented in an HTML file, this results in some IE specific
system responses:
● The shortcut menu of the IE is also displayed unchanged in the preview.
● Everything derived from the IE such as the shortcut menu, print options etc are displayed
in the language of the operating system or the installed IE version.
