System ArchitectureBatch Connect operates as a Windows Service, collecting data fromOpenBatch event journal files (n.evt) in a batch manufacturing environmentand interpreting this data using definition files. This translated batch data isthen sent to the Production Record Manager application interface (API) usingXML format. The Production Record Manager API, in turn, forwards the datato the Production Record Manager server for storage and full use withProduction Record Manager, InfoPlus.21, Aspen Process Explorer and otherAspen proprietary manufacturing products. Results of the data conversion,including errors, are reported back to Batch Connect.
