9.6.4.2 Releasing batches
You release a planned batch as follows.
Procedure
1. Select the batch you want to release either in your order folder or in the navigation window
in BatchCC or in the planning list.
2. Select the Control > Release menu command.
Result
The batch is released for production. If errors occur in the validation, the problems are
displayed and the recipe status remains "planned". If no errors occur, the control recipe is
created. Processing of the batch is started depending on the Start mode. This assumes that
the units required for the start of the control recipe are free. If errors occur in communication
between BatchCC and the BATCH server (Batch control server), the batch only changes to
the "Release prepared" status. After communication between BatchCC and BATCH server
(Batch control server) is functioning again, the release can be completed by executing
"Release" again.
9.6.4.3 Locking a batch
To prevent a released batch from being started (by operator command or automatically), you
can lock it.
Procedure
1. Select the batch in the tree structure in the BatchCC or in the planning list.
2. Select the Control > Lock menu command.
