Viewer for archived batches

Overview
Batches you have archived can be visualized again as control recipes. The viewer for archived
batches contains functions for opening archives from a PH (Process Historian) as well as from
archive files. The basic requirement for connecting to the PH database is the specification of
a user name and password in the project settings under "User credentials".
To display control recipes of archived batches, open the viewer by selecting the "Options >
Start viewer for archived batches" menu command in the BATCH Control Center. Use one of
the following commands in this dialog:
● Open batch from file
● Open batch from PH
Depending on your selection, the "Open" selection dialog opens or the "Find batch" filter dialog
opens for archives from a PH.
