9.8.4.4 Starting batch processing
Starting a batch
Only released batches can be started. Batches in the "immediate" and "time-driven" Start
modes are started automatically (a manual start is also possible in these situations and has
the same effect as a batch with the "operator" Start mode). Batches with the "operator" Start
mode must be started explicitly in BatchCC. Below, you will find the options available for the
"operator" Start mode.
Note
You cannot start a batch if it is chained to another batch and this predecessor batch has not
yet started or been completed (depending on the chaining mode)!
Starting the entire control recipe (batch)
