Start the Batch and
e
Procedure Servers

The
FactoryTalk Batch

 Servers may start automatically when the computer starts. By default the
FactoryTalk Batch
 Server starts in production mode. If

FactoryTalk Batch
 Server runs for a two-hour period and then stops.
TIP: The
FactoryTalk Batch
 Server does not start in production mode without activation. (See the
Activate Rockwell Software Products
insert included with the software CD.)
IMPORTANT:
If you are using Windows server to host your Batch and eProcedure Server, ensure that the Internet Explorer Ehanced Security Configuration setting on the server has been turned off.
For instructions, see Microsoft Web site.
