Introduction
In BatchCC, you can also archive batches in long-term archives if validation is mandatory. The
settings for selecting the desired archiving method and printing batch reports are made in the
project settings. The viewer for archived batches is available for displaying control recipes of
archived batches. Only closed batches can be archived.
Archiving individual batches
With the shortcut menu, you can archive each closed batch individually. by selecting the batch
in the tree and then selecting the command "Archive" in the shortcut menu (right-click).
Archiving multiple batches
Multiple closed batches can be archived by a single action. To do so, open a batch overview
list and select the batches to be archived. Then select the menu command "Archive" in the
shortcut menu (right-click).
Defaults in BatchCC
The following methods for archiving completed batches are offered in the "Batches" >
"Archiving method" folder:
● "Directory" method.
The archive files are saved as XML files in the specified path in a shared folder on the
network or locally. Authentication takes place via Windows security mechanisms.
● "SQL Server" method.
The archive files are saved in an SQL database. Authentication takes place via Windows
security mechanisms.
● "FTP Server" method.
The archive files are saved on an FTP server. This method always requires a login and
password. The domain only has to specified if the login is assigned to a domain (e.g., in
the case of an IIS-FTP server).
