Siemens SIMATIC BATCH Operating Manual page 239

Procedure on the Batch server
1. Delete the batch database and then download the batch data from the ES to the target
station.
Note
Before deleting the batch database, you must first back up your batch data (recipes,
libraries, and formulas) using an export or backup in the BATCH Control Center.
2. Start the BATCH Launch Coordinator. Open the BATCH Control Center and select Program
> New process cell. Update the batch process cell data.
3. Import your master recipes, libraries, formulas from a current export file or a restore file.
Note
Before performing procedural steps one and three, consult with your Siemens service
engineer. Batch data must not be lost.
Procedure on the OS servers
Delete the batch messages on the OS servers involved.
Note
Consult with your Siemens service engineer. Make sure you do not lose any Batch data
whatever you do.
Potential problems and solutions, FAQ
1. Central settings of the configured equipment properties are lost when attaching and
detaching.
Recommendation: BATCH configuration without conditions only via class view (selection
of units using check box), if other conditions (such as different tank sizes) are not used.
Configure the equipment properties at a later time.
2. Permission management and materials in SIMATIC BATCH cannot be separately archived
or exported and imported.
If it becomes necessary to start using a new database, permissions management and
materials can no longer be imported without a "Restore". Importing the permission
management and materials into an empty database requires an enormous amount of work.
Recommendation: When the BATCH database is initially created, the permissions should
be configured first and saved as a backup to avoid the large amount of work required for
reconfiguration of the permissions. If this is done at the outset, you will then have a correct
backup file to perform a "restore".
3. When changing existing unit names.
Recommendation: Assign the changed unit name when updating the process cell in the
BatchCC (update dialog). You should assign the new or renamed unit names in the BATCH
configuration dialog following the update of the batch process cell. If you do not use this
dialog, the recipes will become invalid and you must readapt the allocation of the units for
every individual recipe.
