Define redundant servers

FactoryTalk Batch
can be configured to store batch journals and batch restart information in two separate locations.
To define redundant servers:
  1. From the
    FactoryTalk Batch Equipment Editor
    Options
    menu, click
    Server Options
    .
  2. Select the
    Restart Control
    tab.
    FTB_Admin_ServerOpts_RestartControl_dialog
  3. In the
    Restart Type
    area, select an option, or accept the default,
    Warm Restart
    .
  4. Select
    Primary Path
    . The
    Select Directory
    dialog box opens.
  5. Select the
    MyProject\restart
    folder located in the
    BATCHCTL
    share on the primary server’s hard drive (the default is
    c:\Program Files (x86)\Rockwell Software\Batch\MyProject\restart
    ), and then select
    OK
    .
  6. Select
    Secondary Path
    . The
    Select Directory
    dialog box opens.
  7. Locate and select the
    MyProject\restart
    folder located in the
    BATCHCTL
    share on the secondary server’s hard drive, and then select
    OK
    .
  8. Repeat steps 1 through 7 on the redundant server computer, selecting the
    Batch\MyProject\restart
    folder on the redundant server as the Primary Path. The Secondary Path can remain blank or point to another redundant server. Additionally, you must configure a data server to communicate with the process controller on the redundant server computer. The redundant server computer needs to communicate with the process controller that is running the phase logic.
    TIP:
    You must also verify that the primary and secondary journal project directories are defined.
