The status indicator bar

The status indicator bar, located at the bottom right-hand corner of the Batch Operator Interface and DeltaV Operate Batch Controls windows, displays the recipe component for the current batch as well as the current status of the connected Batch Executive and that Executive's connection to DeltaV services, the Batch Recipe Simulator, and the DeltaV Batch SoftPhase Server. The last two panes are used to display the node name of the connected Batch Executive and the current time from the Batch Executive node. The color and text displayed in these panes varies depending on the status of the connection to the Batch Executive.

Batch Executive State	Batch Executive Field Background Color	Time Field Text (Batch Operator Interface)	Time Field Background Color (Batch Operator Interface)	Status Message (DeltaV Operate Batch Controls)	Cause
Running	Green	Time	Gray	<no text>	The Batch Executive is running.
Stopped	Red	STOPPED	Red	The batch executive is stopped.	The Batch Executive is currently not running.
Unknown	Orange	UNKNOWN	Orange	Awaiting connection to Batch Executive node.	The Batch Executive is in an indeterminate state (for example, when it is starting up) or the Batch Operator Interface (or Batch Controls) cannot communicate with the Batch Executive node (for example, when the Batch Executive node is rebooted in a system with a simplex Batch Executive).
Unknown	Orange	UNKNOWN	Light Blue	Awaiting connection to Batch Executive node.	This Batch Executive is at its maximum number of connections.
Lost	Yellow	LOST	Yellow	The connection to the server has been lost.	The Batch Operator Interface (or the Batch Control) had network communication with the Batch Executive node and now that connection is lost.
Downloading	Purple	<Time>	Gray	The connected server is processing a download.	The Batch Executive is being downloaded. You can control currently running batches. You cannot add a new batch until the Batch Executive field is green.
Switching	Magenta	SWITCHING	Magenta	A batch executive switchover is in progress.	The active Batch Executive is switching to the standby. When the switchover is complete, the computer that was previously the standby is now the active Batch Executive.

To the left of the Batch Executive node's pane are up to three panes that display the status of the connection between the Batch Executive and DeltaV Services (DELTAV), the Recipe Simulator (DVBSIM), and the Soft Phase Server (SoftPhase) if configured. The color of these panes varies depending on the connection status between the server and the Batch Executive:

Connected Server States	Connected Server Field Background Color	Cause
Running	Green	Communications between the Batch Executive and the specific server are good.
Stopped	Red	No communication exists between the specific server and the batch Executive. For example, in the case of the Recipe Simulator and the Soft Phase Server, it could mean that the server is not currently running.
Unknown	Orange	The connection between the server and the Batch Executive is indeterminate. For example, in the case of the Recipe Simulator and the Soft Phase Server, this could mean that the server is starting up and has not fully established communication.

Note:

The Batch Operator Interface requires a Good status to successfully run a batch.

You can view Batch Executive statistics from the Batch Application Manager application to receive additional information on the Executive state.
