Create a shared directory

A shared directory allows computers on the network to read from and write to a common recipe, area model, or data file. The
FactoryTalk Batch
 installation creates a shared directory named
BATCHCTL
 where the
FactoryTalk Batch
 software is installed (the default is
C:\Program Files (x86)\Rockwell Software\Batch
). If you installed your project files in a different directory, configure that directory as a shared directory. To configure a shared directory, administrative privileges are required.
To create a shared directory
:
  1. Navigate to the project file directory, then right-click the folder, and select the sharing option.
  2. Use the
    File Sharing
     dialog box to add each user or user group name that requires access to the project file directory.
  3. Repeat for each user or user group, including the user accounts used by the
    FactoryTalk Batch
     Server and
    FactoryTalk Event Archiver
    .
  4. Select
    Share
    .
