"Distribution" tab

Dialog box
The distribution of the batch process cell is displayed in this dialog box. Specifically these are
the target computers of the following components:
● Batch database server - master
● Batch database server - standby
● BATCH server
● BATCH Server - standby
● BATCH Client.
Note
Distribution of master or standby components to different target systems is not permitted.
PC station
All PC stations defined in the project for the individual server components are listed in a drop-
down list. For example, if the project contains multiple BATCH servers, you can decide which
BATCH server is to be used for the process operation (runtime). If you change the PC station
of a component, then the other components will be automatically changed over to the selected
PC station. Consequently only permissible distributions are possible. Where you change the
assignment is up to you.
Target system
The computer name of the PC station of the specific component is displayed.
Update
Use this button to re-import the distribution topology and thus update the data in this dialog.
To ensure that all externally changed data have been correctly taken into consideration in an
action in the "Configure batch process cell" configuration dialog, you should use this function
before executing such an action.
