Dialog "Find Batches - Siemens SIMATIC BATCH Operating Manual

Dialog "Find batches"

Introduction
In this dialog you filter in archives for batches archived on a PH. You select individual search
criteria to define which batches are displayed for selection. Then select the required batch and
display it in the batch viewer for archived batches.
Requirements
● The batch concerned must have been closed and archived on the PH.
● The batch concerned must have been transferred from the archive storage location
(ArchivDir) to the database. Only then will you be able to use the search dialog to find the
batch concerned in an archive on the PH and display it in the batch viewer.
● The WinCC project on the PH must be in process mode (runtime).
Areas of the dialog
The dialog is divided into four areas. You enter your search criteria in three of these areas; the
search result is then displayed in the fourth area.
● Time range: Batch search by specifying a time range. Only when the start and end time of
a batch is within the specified time range will the batch concerned be found.
● Batch: Batch search by specifying a batch name and/or a batch ID.
● General search criteria: Batch search based on general criteria such as project, process
cell, etc. Note that only criteria from the drop-down list can be selected for the "Project" and
"Process cell" selection boxes. Customized inputs with wildcards are possible for all other
criteria.
● Search result display: Displays the batches matching your search criteria in the form of a
table.
Search criteria and wildcards
The following wildcards can be entered:
● ? Wildcard for any one character.
● * Wildcard for any number of characters.
You can only use wildcards at the beginning and the end of the search criterion. Example:
*abc? Search by batch names containing any number of characters before the letters abc and
any one character at the end.
Selecting a batch
To view a batch, select the row containing the batch concerned in the result display and click
"OK". Double-click the batch concerned to view it. You can only view one batch at a time in
the result display. The selected batch is then displayed in the batch viewer for archived batches.
