Displaying Download Results

After the recipe has been downloaded, the Recipe Builder displays its results. The exact results depend on whether recipe verification has been enabled.

If none of the recipe items have verification enabled, the Recipe Builder displays the following text when it successfully downloads the recipe:

Download of recipe recipe completed with
NO ERRORS

Click OK to acknowledge the message.

NOTE: If you notice alarm entries missing from an alarm file after a recipe is downloaded, the alarm file queue may not be large enough. To correct this problem, increase the size of the Alarm File Queue so that it is larger than the recipe. For example, if the recipe has 100 recipe items, the queue size should be at least 101. For information on how to increase the size of an alarm queue, refer to the section Modifying the Alarm Queues in the Implementing Alarms and Messages manual.

If the Recipe Builder was unable to download one or more of the recipe values to the database, the Download Error List dialog box appears.

NOTE: The information listed in this dialog box reflects the state of the recipe at the time of the download. If you modify the recipe after the Download Error List dialog box appears, the information displayed in the dialog box will not reflect the current state of the open recipe.

Common causes for write errors are if the target block is in Automatic mode instead of Manual mode, if the block is off scan, or if the block is assigned to a security area that is not defined in the recipe user account on the target node. For additional information about handling download write errors, refer to the section Understanding Upload and Download Messages. For information about using the recipe user account, refer to the chapter Recipe Security.

The following figure shows what happens when recipe verification is enabled.
