XML-based item references

An item is a named data structure accessed using any data access technology supported by the
FactoryTalk Batch
 Server like the custom COM interface GetItem method or through OPC. The XML structure and the formatting methods used for each of the Items are below. The schema files are located in the \Batch\Schema folder.
To enable the XML items, modify the DisableResourcesList setting in the [API] section of the
batchsvr.ini
 file.
The valid settings are:
  • 0 - Enables ResourcesList guard rail; ResourcesList and ResourcesListX are valid items. (Default)
  • 1 - Disables ResourcesList guard rail; disables ResourcesList item, only ResourcesListX is a valid item.
If the DisableResourcesList entry does not exist in the
batchsvr.ini
 file then the
FactoryTalk Batch
 Server defaults internally to
0
.
Example:
  [API]
  DisableResourcesList=1
IMPORTANT:
This value is read during startup only — if the value changed stop and restart the
FactoryTalk Batch
 Server to read the new value.
