Use Batch Restart Mode

The default action of the AVEVA Batch Management System upon restarting the system after a failure is to resume all previously active batches with a status of Held. This ensures that all unit allocation is resolved properly and that no new phases are started automatically that might cause a possible operator safety issue.

However, the default batch Held state can be overridden when Batch Manager is restarted. If it is the intention of the personnel with the proper authority to resume system operation with all batches retaining the state each was in when the failure occurred, you must configure the Batch Manager application with the Restarting Batches application parameter in the Environment Editor.

For more information on configuring the Environment Editor, see Chapter 3, "Environment Management System.".

When Batch Manager is started with the Restarting Batches option, all batches that were in Run status resume with the same status. This applies for all possible batch states.

WARNING! It is strongly recommended that the Restarting Batches option be used only by personnel that are very familiar with the operation of the batch system, the operation of the control system, and the process itself.
