Configuring Proficy Batch Execution

Plant Applications provides a way to import S88 batch records from Proficy Batch Execution.

You must first configure Proficy Batch Execution. See "Plant Applications Batch Analysis Reports Configuration" in the Proficy Batch Execution "System Configuration" manual.

To configure Plant Applications

  1. Configure the Plant Model

  2. Configure Model 5013

  3. Configure Model 118.

  4. Configure the following site parameters:

  5. Auto Configure Units

  6. Default Data Source

  7. Default Product Family

  8. Ignore Event Status Changes

  9. Purge Orphaned Records (Days)

  10. Purge Processed Records (Days)

  11. Wait Time (milliseconds)

If you are upgrading

If you have upgraded from an earlier version of Plant Application, you have two options. You can either continue to use the existing batch interface or you can use the new batch interface, the main difference being that you do not have to configure the spS88_iBatchReader stored procedure within SQL Server. Instead, you use model 5013 to set all the parameters.

IMPORTANT: If you use the new script, you must configure model 5013 with all the parameters used by the original spS88_iBatchReader.

If you choose to continue using the existing batch interface, you do not need to do anything. If you want to use the new batch interface, you must:

  1. Delete the existing spS88_iBatchReader stored procedure.

  2. Script in the new spS88_iBatchReader stored procedure. The new stored procedure is located at C:\..\Proficy Server\Support\Proficy Batch

  3. Configure Model 5013
