Installing Wonderware InBatch 9.5 with SP1
For installation and upgrade instructions, see the InBatch Installation Guide.
Upgrading from Wonderware InBatch 9.0 and Wonderware InBatch 9.5 to Wonderware InBatch 9.5 with SP1 is automatic. The upgrade supports Wonderware InBatch with I/A components and without I/A components.
To upgrade from a version older than Wonderware InBatch 9.0, first uninstall the previous version and then install Wonderware InBatch 9.5 with SP1.
After you upgrade Batch Reporting Content (from a pre-InBatch 9.0 SP2 version), a new report template called BatchJournal_EOB is available. The BatchJournal_EOB template is for an optimized Batch Journal report that is meant to be used with End of Batch report triggers. To schedule this report in Wonderware Information Server, you must manually redeploy the Batch Reports by using the Wonderware Information Server Report Deployment tool.
Note: If InBatch Server fails to start after being installed on the Windows XP SP3 operating system, you must restart the InBatch Server node.
Upgrading platforms which use the InBatch Stateless API
The following InBatch Stateless API methods have been modified to include DoneBy and CheckBy (DoneBy, DoneByPswd, CheckBy, CheckByPswd) arguments:
1. AddScheduleEntry
2. DeleteScheduleEntry
3. InitializeScheduleEntry
The AddScheduleEntry, DeleteScheduleEntry,and InitializeScheduleEntry methods use the security set for Access Schedule method. Use the security authentication set required for Access Schedule method of the Batch Client application.
To upgrade platforms which use the InBatch Stateless API
Any code or scripting that is using the AddScheduleEntry, DeleteScheduleEntry,and InitializeScheduleEntry methods will need to be modified. The following are the upgrade instructions:
- The InBatch upgrade needs to be run on all InBatch Runtime Client and Batch Server systems. This includes any WAS platforms that have InBatch API scripting deployed and running.
- Before running the InBatch upgrade, it is best to undeploy all WAS platforms that are deployed to a Batch Runtime Client or Batch Server.
- Install the InBatch upgrade and re-import the InBatch API DLL's into the Galaxy (see InBatch API Help file for details of importing DLL's).
- The upgrade may break existing scripts functionality. Verify future Known Issues in the InBatch 9.5 with SP1 Documentation section for changes in scripting that may be required for the scripts to work.
- Redeploy all platforms, engines, and objects as needed.
Resolved Issues - Wonderware InBatch 9.5 with SP1
This section describes all the resolved issues in Wonderware InBatch 9.5 with SP1.
L00117770: (Hot Fix 00117578) SR 103122817: This solves a problem where newly installed InBatch 9.0 SP2 History Server installations are not adding a system message (55001) to the SQL Server system message catalogue.
A problem occurs when four security access failures happen within three minutes of each other as it will cause an Audit Event record to be written to the ErrorQ table. This message will be stuck in the ErrorQ table, because of the missing message.
L00117823: SR 103123248: The Recipe Edit's Recipe header product name and product ID box only allowed for 16 characters. However, if more than 16 characters were entered it was corrupting data. The UI fields are now restricted to 16 characters. L00118246: (Hot Fix 00117799) SR 103123226: The Recipe Editor’s feature 2 verses 3 level process Variable window was showing corrupt data in the 2 level views.

The following table lists the known issues in the product documentation:
ItemLocation of ChangeExisting DocumentationChange InBatch Stateless API
In the InBatch Stateless API Reference Guide, under InBatch.API Namespace / Classes / Schedule / Methods, see the following 3 API calls:
1. AddScheduleEntry
2. DeleteScheduleEntry
3. InitializeScheduleEntryMissing
The following InBatch Stateless API methods have been modified to include DoneBy and CheckBy (DoneBy, DoneByPswd, CheckBy, CheckByPswd) arguments:
1. AddScheduleEntry
2. DeleteScheduleEntry
3. InitializeScheduleEntryThese methods use the security set for Access Schedule method. Use the security authentication set required for Access Schedule method of the Batch Client application. The following description provides an overview of the methods:
- AddScheduleEntry()
This method adds a new entry to the schedule, following the previous entry, for the given CLB (Campaign, Lot, Batch). If there is no entry in the schedule, the new entry is added to the beginning of the schedule. It may require DoneBy and CheckBy parameters, if security is enabled for the AddScheduleEntry functionality.
Syntax:
InBatch.API.Schedule.AddScheduleEntry (previousCampaign, previousLot, previousBatch, campaign, lot, batch, recipe, train, size, mode, doneById, doneByPassword, checkById, checkByPassword);
- DeleteScheduleEntry()
This method deletes the schedule entry with Open, Done, or Aborted status for the given CLB. It may require DoneBy and CheckBy parameters, if security is enabled for the DeleteScheduleEntry functionality.
Syntax:
InBatch.API.Schedule.DeleteScheduleEntry (campaign, lot, batch, doneById, doneByPassword, checkById, checkByPassword);
- InitializeScheduleEntry()
This method initializes schedule entry for the given CLB. It may require DoneBy and CheckBy parameters, if security is enabled for the InitializeScheduleEntry functionality.
Syntax:
InBatch.API.Schedule.InitializeScheduleEntry (campaign, lot, batch, doneById, doneByPassword, checkById, checkByPassword);For upgrading instructions, see Installing Wonderware InBatch 9.5 with SP1.
InBatch User's Guide
Missing
The Batch Display, Batch Schedule, and Batch View methods can take two host names for the -A command line parameter, separated by a semicolon (;).
The two host names must be the names of the master and the backup batch servers in a redundant configuration.
At startup, the runtime application determines which host is the master and then connects to it.
For example:
BatchDspl.exe -Ahost1;host2

L00104903: Upgrading a computer to Windows 2008 SP2 or later with InBatch already installed will fail.
To fix this, use the UpgradeFix.exe located in the \InBatch Upgrade Tool folder on the InBatch CD.
L00106413: If InBatch Server fails to start after installing on Windows XP SP3, you must restart the InBatch Server node. L00106446: When installing Batch Server with IA Components on an I/A Series 8.5 system, you should have at a minimum Fox API 4.3.2 with QF1012359.
After installing this QF, remove the foxapi.dll from the \system32 directory and add D:\opt\fox\ais\bin to the "Path" System Variable in the Environment Variable section of the Computer Properties Advanced tab.
L00107356: Due to the large number of services running on IA Series platforms, the installation program should check the value of the SessionViewSize registry setting. It is likely that this registry value does not exist and will need to be created. If you ever notice that services unexpectedly fail to start, the value of this setting may be too small. Follow these steps:
- Open the registry editor.
- Navigate down to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management].
- If a registry value named SessionViewSize exists, make sure it is at least 30 (hex) or 48 (decimal).
If it does not exist, create a new DWORD value named SessionViewSize and set it to 30 (hex) or 48 (decimal).
Other Issues
L00016907: WinXMLExporter does not recognize InBatch 8.1 ActiveX controls as "WONDERWARECONTROL" although they have an entry in the CFGOCX.xml file.

The following table shows the redundancy batch status on master/slave nodes when IBMX, IBCli, and IADriver are stopped from the Runtime Services dialog box or when you end the process from Task Manager.
IBMX IBCli IADriver Action on the master node Master Node Status Slave Node Status Master Node Status Slave Node Status Master Node Status Slave Node Status End process from Task Manager Master failed Master with invalid backup Master failed Master with invalid backup Master failed Master with invalid backup Stopped from Runtime Services Master with valid backup Valid backup Master with valid backup Valid backup Master with valid backup Valid backup L00082366: Unable to import InBatch tags to InTouch using DBload.exe.
InBatch uses a dot (.) instead of a hyphen (-) as a delimiter in tag names. InTouch supports only a hyphen as a delimiter. Before you load the InBatch tag names into InTouch, edit the .csv file and replace the dot delimiters with hyphens.
L00082612: Custom-created reports that are populated to the batch report directory are not available for being configured and scheduled.
After the custom reports are populated or deployed to the InBatch > Execute Reports > InBatch list on the Launch Pad, use the following steps to configure and schedule the reports. For example, suppose that a report named "Custom Batch Detail" is populated in the list.
You must update the RepServicesConfig.xml file in the following location:
<systemdrive>:\Inetpub\wwroot\Wonderware\InBatchReports\ReportConfig
- Open the file RptServicesConfig.xml for editing.
- Add the following line under the <Folder> node:
<Report Name="Custom Batch Detail" />
- Save the file.
Example:
<Folder>
<Report Name="Custom Batch Detail: />
.......
.......
.......
</Folder>Now, the report named Custom Batch Detail is available for configuring and scheduling. Add a similar line for each custom report that is populated in the Execute Reports list.
L00098867: When using the IBCli application, some I/O Servers or DAServers (including FS Gateway) may report an error about an "Unknown Watchdog" tag. This error is only reported when IBCli starts, but the Watchdog tag will still function as expected.
If you get the following errors from IBCli:
- Too many ping timeouts (NOTE: only if you get this error repeatedly).
- Failed to register 'Watchdog' ping tag - pinging is disabled.
- Do one of the following:
- Try to upgrade to a newer I/O Server or DAServer version.
- Create a tag called Watchdog in the I/O or DAServer.
It can be any data type. Disable pinging using the IBCli "Disable Ping" option.
L00106015: An error occurs when you access the Reports link in the Wonderware Information Server Portal after logging in as a system administrator and not as a portal admin of the Wonderware Information Server installed node. To avoid this error, perform any one of the following workarounds:
Start Internet Explorer using Run As Administrator command and navigate to the portal using the system administrator credentials.

Type the System administrator's user name and grant the roles by selecting the check box for the Content Manager option.
L00106167: If the InBatch Server computer name contains lowercase characters, the development client applications will always get a TAF-lockmgr synchronization error. To fix this issue edit the InBatch Development Client shortcut links in the Start menu to contain the exact case spelling of the InBatch Server name.
After using the InBatch Configuration Utility to configure the InBatch Development Client, do the following.
- On the development client, use the Start menu to navigate to Wonderware\InBatch\InBatch Development Client [Your InBatch Server Name].
- Right-click on Material Editor shortcut and then click Properties. In the target box you will see the following string… a.–AINBATCHSERVERNAME
- Change the spelling of your InBatch Server name to the correct case spelling of your InBatch Server computer. Note: Do not add a space between “-A” and your InBatch Server name.
- Do this for each shortcut that has [Your InBatch Server Name] in the name.
