Perform end of batch archiving

Selecting
Archiver (End of Batch)
defers control of batch reporting to
FactoryTalk Event Archiver
and only performs batch reporting upon removal of the batch from the Batch List. The End of Batch runs in the security context of the
FactoryTalk Batch
Server. When using End of Batch archiving,
FactoryTalk Event Archiver
must be disabled as a Windows service and cannot be controlled using the
FactoryTalk Batch
Service Manager. (See the
FactoryTalk Event Archiver
User Guide
for information on disabling
FactoryTalk Event Archiver
as a service.)
TIP:
If Event Journal Signatures are enabled, specify
Archiver (End-of-Batch)
archiving to ensure that all event journal records are properly archived.
To perform end of batch archiving
:
  1. Select
    Archiver (End of Batch)
    .
  2. In the
    Archiver
    area, select
    Delete files after archive
    to allow deletion of the .
    evt
    or
    .evtj
    files after
    FactoryTalk Event Archiver
    has stored the data in the ODBC database.
    IMPORTANT:
    Deleting files after archiving is not a reversible action and is not recommended.
  3. In
    Table Name
    , type the name of the table that contains the Batch data. The default is
    BATCHHIS
    .
  4. In
    Database Connect String
    enter either:
    • ODBC;DSN=DataSourceName;
    • ODBC;
      .
      TIP:
      If the DSN is not specified the first time
      FactoryTalk Event Archiver
      is started the
      FactoryTalk Event Archiver
      setup will determine the connection string and automatically update this value.
To change the default
Table Name
from
BATCHHIS
:
  1. Create a new table.
  2. Update the stored procedure named
    BHInsert
    to use the new table name. (See the
    FactoryTalk Event Archiver
    User Guide
    for instructions on creating a new table.)
