AspenTech APRM/Batch.21

All APRM batch records are fetched from the source system through a pre-configured ODBC data source on the computer running the inmation Connector service. The Connector must have access to the particular ODBC data source. This implies:

  1. The APRM ODBC data source needs to be configured as system data source.

  2. The bit-model of the inmation Connector service and the APRM ODBC data source need to be the same. Currently only a 32-bit APRM ODBC data source is available so an equivalent 32-bit Connector service should be installed on the corresponding host machine.

  3. The inmation Connector must be configured to use Logon credentials which grant access to the APRM system without supplying additional credentials in the Batch Record Datasource object (tested), or alternatively such credentials need to be configured in the Batch Record Datasource and the Connector may run under its default LOCAL_SYSTEM account.

OSI-PI

The OSI-PI interface requires the installation of the inmationPIBridge service. The inmationPIBridge is shipped as a zip archive in the \inmation.root\packages directory when installing system:inmation with the setup wizard. The zip files can also be provided by contacting inmation Customer Service or by emailing: support@inmation.com.

External Tags

The tags which are required to be mapped to a virtual batch record must be configured in system:inmation to supply the relevant data. Relevant objects of type I/O Item or Holder Item must exist for each Batch Characteristic. A particular Batch Record Datasource can only access objects which are configured on the same Connector.
