Import the Process Model

To import the process model

1. Open the AVEVA Batch Management Model Import/Export Utility.

2. Click the Import tab.

   

3. In the Import To section, type the batch host in the text box, and then click Connect.

   Note: If security is set up for Model Edit, then you must specify the username and password for Import in the AVEVA Batch Management Credentials dialog box. If you are using operating system security, the format of the username is domain\user.

4. In the Import From section, based on the export type any of the following options is automatically selected:

   • Memory: Select the Memory option if the Export To option is selected as memory during the export of the process model. By default, the Memory option is not available for selection.

   • File: By default, the File option is selected. Click Browse to specify the file for the import if a previously exported file is available.

     The Import Type is displayed depending on the file selection or what is loaded into memory. If the Import Type is a Process or Transfer Phase type, then you will need to pick the destination Process or Transfer to be the parent for the imported phase. Unit Import types do not require any destination selection.

5. Click Import. The result box is updated to show the status. Optionally, you can select the Preview Mode option to preview the changes that will happen on import. The preview will not import any data and there will not be any changes to the database.

   Note: The default transaction timeout of the AVEVA Batch Management Middleware that supports the Model Import functionality is five minutes. If you import a process model that takes more than five minutes, the import will fail and roll back the changes. You can increase the timeout by editing the XML file in the AVEVA Batch Management\Middleware directory. It is observed that some larger imports do take slightly over 10 minutes. Slow networks can also affect the time for the import. The element to set is: TRANSACTIONTIMEOUT. You must restart the Production Middleware Host after making this change.
