For further information, follow the "Setting up the FTP server" link under "Additional
information" at the end of the section.
Procedure
1. Select the "FTP Server" option.
2. Enter the computer name or the IP address of the FTP server in the text box.
3. In addition to specifying the computer name or IP address of the FTP server, it is also
possible to specify the port number. Obtain the port number of the FTP server from the
person who configured the FTP server on which you want to archive.
4. Enter the domain, your logon name and password in the "User credentials" folder.
5. To test the connection, click the "Test" button.
6. Close the dialog.
The following is checked in a connection test:
● Has a value been entered in the "FTP Server" text box?
● Can the specified FTP server be accessed?
● Is write access to the FTP server possible?
If the tests fail, a message is displayed and the dialog cannot be closed with the current
information. Correct the settings and run the test again or cancel it.
Note
An FTP server stores the files in a configured directory. To protect archive data, give this
directory access protection.
SIMATIC BATCH does not support saving of archive data in subfolders. It is always saved in
the root directory.
Version
XML archive formats of the following SIMATIC BATCH versions are available to you in
SIMATIC BATCH. The version specifications relate to the "Directory", "SQL Server", and "FTP
Server" archiving methods. The selection of archive formats must be observed when you use
the XML archive files subsequently, for example, in the viewer for archived batches. The XML
archive format of the installed SIMATIC BATCH version is always preset. This ensures that all
new functions of a version are saved in the archive file. The following table applies to all
methods except PH.
Check box Meaning
V7.0 V7.0 corresponds to the previously existing archive format in SIMATIC
BATCH V7.0 and V6.1.x.
If you want to print batch archives with SBReport, use archive format
V7.0.
V7.0 SP1 The V7.0 SP1 archive format has a different syntax and structure than
V7.0. The archive file with object-relational structure is suitable for auto‐
mated further processing for storage of the data in relational databases.
There is an XML schema for this that is also installed.
