BATCH OS controls
11.3 Operations in process mode
To activate a BATCH project, the BATCH Launch Coordinator together with its applications
needs to be in the "Running" status on the corresponding BATCH Server. All five further OS
Controls obtain their data from the activated BATCH project in this OS Control, if they
communicate on the same communication channel.
Information in the control
The information in the control is listed in tabular form. Each line of the table contains a BATCH
project. The project name, process cell name, name of the computer where the project is
located, the computer name of the redundant PC and the database identification code (SB6... /
SB8...) is listed for each BATCH project. A bold row in the table identifies a BATCH project on
the local PC. The "Project", "Computer name" and "Redundancy" columns also show symbols
indicating the status of the connection and the server. The following symbols can be displayed
with their status:
