Startup characteristics
The BATCH Launch Coordinator can be started automatically or manually. For automatic start
after computer logon, the Batch process cell must be loaded and WinCC Runtime must be
activated.
If the BATCH Launch Coordinator is not started automatically, start it using the Start > All
Programs > Siemens Automation > SIMATIC > Batch > SIMATIC BATCH Launch
Coordinator command.
Starting the BatchCC
The BATCH Launch Coordinator creates the preconditions for starting BatchCC. BatchCC
cannot be connected to the database of the loaded batch process cell until SIMATIC BATCH
displays the status "running". BatchCC will display a corresponding information dialog on
startup until SIMATIC BATCH is ready.
