Re: [foxboro] IA Batch problems

Ken, without knowing your configuration, heres a few things I'd check: 
Try stopping and starting all the runtime applications.
Try validating your IALinker to see if it throws up any problems on that 
front.
Try revalidating your recipes.
If you had batches in motion at the time of the lockup, make sure they are 
deleted with all units released from them.
If you can identify the phase generating the "waiting on phase status" 
message, manually set the phase status integers to other valid values 
(careful, this may actually run the phase).
Best of luck.
Regards,
Gabriel.

[foxboro] IA Batch problems






System specs: AW51B, IA ver 6.3, IA Batch ver 5.3 with 4 batch trains
The Story: 
At about 0400 Saturday morning, IA Batch locked up and would not step 
through the recipes. Found that /opt partition was 100% full. This is due 
to it being full of batch history files. So... I deleted some of the 
larger H01*.dat files and H02*.dat files. Got /opt down to 87% full. Then 
restarted IA Batch.
Upon restart, Batch does not allocate equipment in one of the trains, but 
works fine in the other three. In the batch display, it states "waiting on 
phase status", the phase is idle, and has the correct codes to show that 
it is available.  I called TAC at around 1900 and was told that erasing 
the H01*.dat files was the cause, I didn't believe this, but it was 
possible, the problem train was the first installed,  I'll try anything to 
get the system back up and running. So yesterday I spent most of the day, 
restoring the entire hard drive from a backup tape made in Sept. which has 
the /opt partition at 99% full. Then restarted Batch, and I still have the 
same problems.

So some how my phases and batch have lost connectivity, does anyone have 
any idea what I can do to resolve this? I looked through the IALink files, 
and cannot see any differences between the trains that work, and the one 
that does not. 

Also, does anyone know if those HO*.dat files can be removed?  I have 
history files going back to 2001, I only need to keep about 6 months 
worth.
