Configure hold propagation
When a batch executing in a primary or secondary
FactoryTalk® Batch
Server detects a failure condition, the system may hold all or parts of a batch. The selected
Hold propagation
type identifies how much of the batch is commanded to
hold in response to the failure and how much continues to
run.The following diagram shows how a step mode can affect the hold propagation. Depending on
the step mode, the batch may be held at a lower level than the selected hold propagation
option.
