Server
The
Server
area provides various server options.The
Server
area options include:Item | Definition |
|---|---|
Allow Demo Mode | The FactoryTalk Batch Server runs with full functionality without a license for a two-hour period. After two hours, the server stops running. |
Allow Grace Period | The FactoryTalk Batch Server starts when a valid activation is not found. The grace period is seven days, after which a valid FactoryTalk Activation license is required. |
Cold Restart | The FactoryTalk Batch Server starts
in a new instance without restoring data from its previous run. Batches are not
added back to the batch list, and operator arbitration states are not recovered. For
all batches that were not restored, batch completion events are recorded in the FactoryTalk Batch Event Journals. After a Cold Restart, you will not be
able to resume execution of batches from the previous instance. If Security
Authority is enabled, SAIs in a secured area model and any secured recipes must
match the current Network FactoryTalk Directory SAI. |
Warm Restart | Restarts the FactoryTalk Batch Server
and attempts to restore the set of batches that were on the batch list when the
server previously stopped. Batch complete events are added to the FactoryTalk Batch Event Journals for all batches that were not restored to
the batch list. After a Warm Restart, any batches that are not restored cannot be
recovered or resumed in the future. Batches are restored in Manual execution mode
with active transitions in a HELD state. No validation for Security Authority is
performed. |
Warm All Restart | The FactoryTalk Batch server attempts
to restart but will not restart if it is unable to restore all the batches to the
batch list. If a Warm All Restart attempt fails, the ability to restore batches in
the future is not affected. After the issues are resolved, another attempt to
restore the batches to the batch list can be made using Warm Restart, Warm All
Restart, or Hot Restart. This is the default setting for automatic restarts. Batches
are restored in Manual execution mode with active transitions in a HELD state. No
validation for Security Authority is performed. |
Hot Restart | Follows all the startup rules of Warm All
Restart. In addition, the FactoryTalk Batch Server attempts to restore
batches to their last known state, including transition states and recipe modes,
without any operator interaction. |
