Introducing RSBizWare BatchCampaign
W elcome to RSBizWare™ BatchCampaign™, the application that makes batch campaign
management fast and simple. BatchCampaign allows you to execute your production
schedules quickly and easily, thus increasing productivity and reducing errors.
®
BatchCampaign is a 32-bit Windows
Automation, Inc. that creates and manages campaigns. A campaign is defined as a
connected series of operations designed to bring about a particular result, such as meeting
a production order request or fulfilling a customer order. A campaign may consist of one
or more batches and is designed to manage and execute the batches according to your
specified scheduling requirements.
BatchCampaign is tightly integrated with the FactoryTalk® Batch suite, providing
complete control of batch-based production runs. Using a straightforward user interface,
production requirements are entered, and BatchCampaign translates the information into
either a single batch or complete campaign runs. BatchCampaign has a variety of triggers
for batch execution, allowing you to choose the method that will best fit your production
requirements.

Common User Assistance Folder
Starting with version 9.0, all Rockwell applications will install their user assistance files
(online help, user documentation PDF files, and release notes) in a common folder located
at \Program Files\Common Files\Rockwell\Help. This gives you one central location to
find information and allows interaction between different products’ user assistance files.
The BatchCampaign online help files will no longer be stored in the \Program
Files\Rockwell Software\BatchCampaign\Help folder. The first Rockwell Automation,
Inc. product installed on a computer creates the common folder. When a product is
uninstalled, the user assistance associated with that application are also removed, but the
\Help folder is not removed unless the product being uninstalled is the last Rockwell
Automation product on the computer. The last Rockwell Automation product removed
from the computer removes the common folder and all remaining user assistance files.
RSBizWare BatchCampaign Features
Flexible batch/campaign creation
Add individual batches – you can specify the size of each batch in the campaign.
Create campaigns with multiple batches – you can automatically generate the
campaign of batches using the quantity/size or a value in between that is applied to
all batches in the campaign.
Human interface Allows you to dynamically view the state of FactoryTalk Batch
Servers and their associated batches and campaigns. The user interface also allows
you to start, stop, abort, hold, and restart an individual batch in the campaign.
Flexible batch execution Gives you complete flexibility in how you run your
process. Y ou can choose to execute campaigns automatically from BatchCampaign, or
®
have the FactoryTalk Batch View or ActiveX
controls as the primary interface for
executing and commanding batches. Using either of these methods, you can:
Start each batch individually.
Start all the batches in the campaign simultaneously.
Automatic batch execution
Y ou can configure a start trigger , which starts a batch or campaign automatically at
a predetermined time.
You can configure batches to start immediately.
You can configure start triggers, which automatically start the next batch in a
campaign upon completion of the currently executing batch.

1 • Introducing RSBizWare BatchCampaign
Multi-server capability Allows BatchCampaign to work with multiple FactoryTalk
Batch Servers, and start batches/campaigns on one server based upon state (complete,
started, etc.) of a batch/campaign on another server.
State transitions The batches can easily be started, stopped, held, restarted, and
aborted.
Batch list population Adds batches to the FactoryTalk Batch Server according to the
specified number of batches that operators should be able to see on the batch list at
any time. As an example, if there were 15 batches in a given campaign, the Batch List
Count is configured for 5, and there are already 5 or more completed, aborted, or
stopped batches on the Server’s Batch list, then some of these batches must be
removed from the batch list before new batches will be automatically moved from the
campaign onto the FactoryTalk Batch View list.
Campaign and Batch ID configuration capability Gives you the ability to specify a
user algorithm for generating campaign and batch ID. A default algorithm is provided
that generates a batch ID based upon current date and time.
Unit Binding Unit classes can be bound from the BatchCampaign Human Interface.
Security You may choose to require a logon and password protection for access to the
BatchCampaign interface.

DEP settings
Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is a security feature that is supported by both hardware
and software and intended to prevent the execution of malicious code in the Microsoft
Windows XP (Service Pack 2) and Microsoft Windows Server 2003 (Service Pack 1 and
R2) operating systems.
The DEP settings determine which applications and components are covered by DEP
protection. They apply to both hardware-supported and software DEP features. On
computers with the necessary hardware capabilities, hardware-supported DEP features are
enabled for the same set of applications and components as the software DEP features.
The following table explains the possible DEP settings and if those settings are supported
by Rockwell Software products.
• • • • •

Rockwell Software recommends that you use the default DEP settings unless you have a specific
reason to change them.

and components, no exceptions).

Changing DEP settings
T o change the DEP settings, select Control Panel > System > Advanced > Performance
Settings > Data Execution Prevention. The Turn on DEP for essential Windows
programs and services only setting corresponds to the OptIn setting and the Turn on
DEP for all programs and services except those I select setting corresponds to the
OptOut setting.
You must be an administrator of your computer to change these settings.
You must reboot the computer for the DEP setting changes to take effect.
Hardware DEP settings
Hardware DEP uses the processor to mark memory so that code cannot be executed from
data regions. When code attempts to execute in these marked areas, the processor
generates an exception. If you are using Microsoft Windows XP (Service Pack 2) or
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 (Service Pack 1 and R2) operating systems, the
offending program is terminated. Hardware DEP is also enabled as the factory default
setting. This feature is turned on or off in the computer BIOS settings.
T o determine if your hardware supports DEP, refer to the hardware manual or contact your
hardware manufacturer.

Pre-Installation Procedures
The following instructions assume that the FactoryTalk Batch client components have
already been installed, and that at least one FactoryTalk Batch Server has been installed
(not necessarily on the same computer). Y ou must have administrative privileges on the
target computer to install BatchCampaign. Before installing BatchCampaign, complete
the following:
Install SQL Server 2005 (Optional)
If you are planning on storing recipes in RDB format, install Microsoft SQL Server 2005,
Service Pack 1. SQL Server 2005 services must be running during the installation process.
Restart the computer after the SQL Server installation is complete.
Identify Batch Server Name
The setup program prompts you for the domain level user account and password asks for
the computer name where the FactoryTalk Batch Server is installed.
Log On to Windows
Log on to Windows® Server 2003 R2, Standard Edition or Windows XP Service Pack 2
with administrator privileges. Close any open applications.
22
Install FactoryTalk Activation
FactoryTalk Activation must be installed prior to installing the FactoryTalk Batch
software. Therefore, the following section assumes that both FactoryTalk Activation and
the FactoryTalk Batch Server are installed and that you have obtained an activation code
for BatchCampaign.
The FactoryTalk Activation Server must be installed on the same network or on the same
computer as the FactoryTalk Batch Server. Each Batch Server computer must have the
FactoryTalk Activation Client installed for license validation to occur.
Refer to the Activate Rockwell Software Products brochure, located in your software
package. RSBizWare BatchCampaign uses concurrent activation.
Install RSBizWare BatchCampaign
These instructions assume that you are installing RSBizWare BatchCampaign on a
computer networked with other client computers and that you are installing
BatchCampaign on the same computer as the Batch client components. You can exit

installation at any time by clicking the Cancel button. Before you begin the installation,
complete all the pre-installation procedures.
The following steps assume that FactoryTalk Activation was installed before the Batch Server. If
you find that you do need to install FactoryTalk Activation, please refer to the Activate Rockwell
Software Products brochure, located in your product package, for instructions.
1. Insert the installation CD into the CD-ROM drive. The CD has the Autorun feature

If the installation program detects an existing FactoryTalk Batch installation, it may give you the
option of modifying or repairing the current installation. Do not select Repair or Modify - these are
not supported options. Y ou must remove the existing version of the sof tware before installing the
upgrade.

Configure RSBizWare BatchCampaign
The first time you run BatchCampaign, an Error! dialog box displays. This occurs
because a server and database have not yet been configured for BatchCampaign.
1. Click the Start button, point to All Programs > Rockwell Software >FactoryTalk
Batch Suite > BatchCampaign, and then select BatchCampaign.
2. Click OK to continue. BatchCampaign opens.

(See “Logging on to RSBizWare BatchCampaign” for more information.)
Configure the Database
BatchCampaign stores configuration information and buffered batches in a Microsoft
Access database (BatchCampaign.mdf) in its root folder. You do not need to install
Microsoft SQL Server if you use this database. If SQL Server is part of your FactoryTalk
Batch solution you can configure BatchCampaign to store its configuration information
and buffered batches in a SQL database. You must specify the SQL Server and the name
of the database prior to any other configuration or configure BatchCampaign to use the
Access database.

4. On the Provider tab, select the database type you want to connect with from the OLE
DB providers list. The provider you select will affect the options listed on the
Connection tab. The most popular providers are:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider (preferred) for SQL Server – used by RSBizWare
Batch 5.xx and higher (and FactoryTalk Batch 9.0 and higher) because it uses the
SQL Server database for recipes. This provider is also the choice used for the
BatchCampaign database, if SQL Server is installed. (See “Data Link Properties”
for more information.)
Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider – used by the supplied Access database.
5. Select the applicable Microsoft OLE DB provider, and then click the Next button. The
Connection tab opens.
If you chose the Microsoft OLE DB provider for SQL Server as your provider your
Connection tab will look similar to this:

In this example, MasterRecipes is the selected database. This is the database used to store
recipes if the “Store recipes as in a database” option is selected in the FactoryTalk Batch
Equipment Editor. BatchCampaign will create the required tables in this database or any other
database selected.
