# Manage Recipe Body

:lock: Recipe.**Edit**

## Overview

This operation is used to set and manage the **Recipe** Body.

## Setup

No specific setup is required other than to meet the precondition of the transaction.

## Preconditions

* The Recipe exists in the system and it is Active.

## Sequence of Steps

### Step 1: Manage Body

Once the **Recipe** has been created, proceed to specifying the **Recipe** Body. Open the *Body* tab and fill in the required fields:

1. Specify the **Source** of the *Recipe Body*, by selecting one of the following options:
  
      * **DownloadedFromEquipment** - in this case, a Resource whose *RecipeManagement* property is enabled and whose automation mode is online and that supports **Recipe** download, must be selected, as well as the Resource's local Recipe name. In this case, the format is always binary; press the button **Get Recipes** to retrieve a list of available **Recipes** at the Resource.

      * **EquipmentSupplier** - in this case, the user must specify the format:
        * Text, a file can be uploaded and optionally edited in the Body Text.
        * Binary, a file must be uploaded.
        * URL, the URL must be provided in the Body text.

      * **HumanEdited** - in this case, the user must specify the format:
        * Text, a file can be uploaded and optionally edited in the Body Text.
        * Binary, a file must be uploaded.
        * URL, the URL must be provided in the Body text.

      * **None** - in this case, the **Recipe** contains no Body.

2. Optionally, select the *Format* of the **Recipe** Body. In case the selected Recipe Body Source was *None*, the **Recipe Format** will automatically be set to *Null*; otherwise you wil be prompted to select one of the following Recipe Formats:

      * **Binary** - set as default for **DownloadedFromEquipment**, but can be overridden to Text.
      * **Text (default), Binary, URL** - for **Human Edited / Equipment Supplier**.

3. Provide a Body for the **Recipe**. In case the selected **Source** was *None*, the **Recipe's** Body can be left blank; otherwise content must be entered in this field:

      * For **DownloadedFromEquipment**, the user must specify a Resource (with Resource property *IsRecipeManagementEnabled* set to true and *Automation Mode* set to *Online*) and a resource recipe (retrieved with the use-case *Get Recipes At Equipment*).
      * For **HumanEdited / EquipmentSupplier**:
        * If Format = URL - provide a URL.
        * If Format = Binary - provide a file.
        * If Format = Text - optionally, load a file and edit the contents manually.

4. Select **Update** to complete the operation.

!!! info
    The maximum size for a **Recipe** Body is defined under the `/Cmf/System/Configuration/Framework/MaxFileSize` configuration which covers all file sizes handled by the MES framework. If you need to upload a larger **Recipe** Body, you must change this configuration.
