Redundancy

You can configure redundancy for the batch management system. A redundant system ensures smooth and continuous AVEVA Batch Management system processing on a backup computer if hardware fails on the master server. Redundancy is particularly useful in critical manufacturing facilities operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week, where the loss of the batch system or associated batch data is intolerable.

You initially configure redundancy as part of the AVEVA Batch Management Server installation process. You can configure AVEVA Batch Management Runtime Clients to operate with redundant servers.

Important: Configuring a redundant batch control system requires computer network experience. We strongly recommend that only qualified personnel configure the redundant system.

If you are installing a redundant system, you must configure your system as described in this section before you install the batch management system software.
