Run material-based recipes without the Material Server
If communication is lost with the Material Server, material-based control recipes can continue to process. A highly visible warning message displays when communication is lost with the Material Server. When adding a material-based control recipe to the batch list without access to the Material Server, you must select the materials and containers for binding. For control recipes run without the Material Server, you must update the inventory manually in the Material Editor using the addition and distribution information presented in the Event Journal.
