BATCH OS controls
11.5 Control properties references
An existing connection to a BATCH project is retained even when the communication channel
changes. This means the BATCH project can be used on the previous channel as well as the
new one. If you do not want this feature, terminate the connection to the BATCH project before
you change the communication channel. You can do this by deleting the project name in the
ProjectName attribute or the database identification in the DBIdent attribute.
Default value = 1, maximum value = 100.
The attribute can be dynamized with the CommunicationChannel name.
11.5.1.2

DisplayMode

The attribute "DisplayMode" has no function.
The attribute cannot be dynamized with the DisplayMode name.
11.5.1.3

ProjectName

String.
If you enter a project name, only this project is displayed and automatically linked in the control
assuming that a project with this name is available. If this is not the case, no project will be
displayed in the control. If you enter an empty project name, all BATCH projects will be
displayed. By dynamizing (scripting) this property, you can also establish the connection to a
BATCH project and terminate it again with an empty name. If you specify the database
identification using the DBIdent attribute, the ProjectName attribute is ignored.
Only one BATCH project can be connected at a given time. If you want to connect another
BATCH project, the existing connection is first closed. If several masters are connected to the
same project through different communication channels and a master closes this connection,
all the other masters will lose the connection.
The default is no fixed project name.
The attribute can be dynamized with the ProjectName name.
11.5.1.4

DBIdent

String.
If you enter a database identification, the corresponding project will be displayed in the control
assuming that a project with this identification is available. If this is not the case, no project will
be displayed in the control. If you enter an empty identification, all loaded BATCH projects will
be displayed. By dynamizing (scripting) this property, you can also establish the connection
to a BATCH project and terminate it again with an empty identification. If you enter the database
identification using this attribute, the ProjectName attribute will be ignored.
Only one BATCH project can be connected at a given time. If you want to connect another
BATCH project, the existing connection is first closed. If several masters are connected to the
same project through different communication channels and a master closes this connection,
all the other masters will lose the connection.
Default: No fixed value.
The attribute can be dynamized with the DBIdent name.
