The customization should show up at each terminal or instance as you
restart them. So yes, once you restart the one you're working with it
should show up on that instance. All our MES customizations are global,
so we don't have any modifications to buttons or scripting involved in
getting these to work. Because we also have the main screen customized
as well we did have to make a reference in the config.sys file to the
sub process ID, but if youre not doing the main screen this shouldn't be
necessary. I can run a standard session of MES (with no reference) and
while the customization for the main screen will not show the sub
processes (like start and end activities) will show.

First, go into sub process maintenance found under system
management/utilities.

Create a new process id (UD<name>)

Assign security

Programtype (non menu item)

Program (find the .dll corresponding to the form, in your case -
Epicor.Mfg.UI.EndActivityEntry.dll)

Assign the customization you created (from the drop down)

Go into the process calling maintenance found under system
management/utilities

Create new

Called process reference is the .dll you assigned under sub process
without the file extension ex. (Epicor.Mfg.UI.EndActivityEntry.dll)

Called from (the menu that calls the customized process ex.
(Epicor.Mfg.Menu.Mes)

And finally the custom menu ID you created in the sub process (UD<name>)

Restart your Epicor/mes session and you should see your customization.
Any questions call. There probably isn't one form left in the MES that
we haven't hacked

Subject: RE: [Vantage] MES Customization

Sorry Charlie, I accidentally grabbed the wrong one.

PROBLEM:
How do you customize the main MES Menu and set to use it instead of
default?

SOLUTION:
1. Right-click on the shortcut for Vantage 8.0 MES.
2. Copy and paste the copy to the desktop.
3. Rename the copy to something like MES Developer.
4. Right-Click and choose Properties.
5. In the Target area, locate where it shows -MES and change it to
-MESC.
6. Click OK to save the changes.
7. Login to MES Developer.
8. Make your customizations and choose Save as
9. Give your customization a name (i.e CustomMES)
10. Save and close MES
11. Log into a your a regular 8.0 session
12. Go to System Management >> Utilites >> Sub Process Maintenance
13. Create a new menu ID and give it a name e.g UDMES1
14. Choose the security you want to apply to this option
15. Enter a parent process like PROCESS or MAINMENU
16. Enter a unique number for the sequence like 10, 15, 20, etc.
17. Under the Program section browse to or type in
Epicor.Mfg.Menu.Mes.dll
18. Choose the Customization name you saved in steps 4/5 from the list
box
19. Save and close Sub Process Maintenance
20. Create a Process Calling using System Management >> Utilities >>
Process Calling Maintenance
21. Choose File >> New
22. Process Called Reference = Epicor.Mfg.Menu.MES
23. Menu ID = UDMES1 (Menu ID create in step 13)
24. Save and close Process Calling Maintenance
25. Add the process ID you just created in step # 13 as the value for
the MESCustomMenuID node in the xxx.mfgsys file being referenced by your
MES icon
<MESCustomMenuID value="UDMES1" /> This should be listed under the
<appSettings> </appsettings> section. If the icon does not reference
mfgsys use the default.mfgsys found the ...epicor/client/config
directory.
26. Log into 8.0 MES again and you should now see your customization.

Note 1: When first installed you will need to change the xxx.mfgsys file
used by each MES user. You'll find this file in the config directory of
the epicor client folder e.g. c:\epicor\mfgsys803\client\config
Note 2: In a standard implementation of Vantage the name of the file
being changed is default.mfgsys. HOWEVER, this can change based on your
installation of Vantage. For example if you are running against a test
or pilot database the file maybe named test.mfgsys or pilot.mfgsys. You
may want to check the port number of the appserver that MES is using
agains the AppServerURL value="AppServerDC: <AppServerDC:
<AppServerDC://LAPIZ:8301 <AppServerDC://LAPIZ:8301> > //LAPIZ:8301
<AppServerDC: <AppServerDC://LAPIZ:8301 <AppServerDC://LAPIZ:8301> >
//LAPIZ:8301>
<AppServerDC: <AppServerDC://LAPIZ:8301 <AppServerDC://LAPIZ:8301> >
//LAPIZ:8301 <AppServerDC:
<AppServerDC://LAPIZ:8301 <AppServerDC://LAPIZ:8301> > //LAPIZ:8301> > >
//LAPIZ:8301" statement in
the default.mfgsys.
Note 3: Be sure to change the one in the Vantage client config directory
stored on the server. This way when you install a new release of Vantage
and the client folders are updated the modified xxx.mfgsys is
downloaded.

Subject: RE: [Vantage] MES Customization

I found this to be helpful for the main screen. Also do a search in
Vantage help for customizing any of the sub screens use 'mes
customization' as your search string. The instructions there aren't too
bad and you should be able to follow them to completion.

CUST How do you customize the main MES Menu and set to use it instead of
default

Details:

Summary: CUST How do you customize the main MES Menu and set to use it
instead of default
Book: Support Solutions
Page: 4306MPS

PROBLEM:
How do you customize the main MES Menu and set to use it instead of
default?

Note: this answerbooks also worked for 8.03 MES

SOLUTION
Create your customization
1. Right-click on the shortcut for Vantage 8.0 MES.
2. Copy and paste the copy to the desktop.
3. Rename the copy to something like MES Developer.
4. Right-Click and choose Properties.
5. In the Target area, locate where it shows -MES and change it to
-MESC.
6. Click OK to save the changes.
7. Login to MES Developer.
8. Make your customizations and choose Save as
9. Give your customization a name (i.e CustomMES)
10. Save and close MES

To deploy create a SubProcess record
11. Log into your a regular 8.0 session
12. Go to System Management >> Utilites >> Sub Process Maintenance
13. Create a new menu ID and give it a name e.g UDMES1
14. Choose the security you want to apply to this option
15. Enter a parent process like PROCESS or MAINMENU
16. Enter a unique number for the sequence like 10, 15, 20, etc.
17. Under the Program section browse to or type in
Epicor.Mfg.Menu.Mes.dll
18. Choose the Customization name you saved in steps 4/5 from the list
box
19. Save and close Sub Process Maintenance

Create a Calling Process Record:
20. Create a Process Calling using System Management >> Utilities >>

Process Calling Maintenance
21. Choose File >> New
22. Process Called Reference = Epicor.Mfg.Menu.MES
23. Menu ID = UDMES1 (Menu ID create in step 13)
24. Save and close Process Calling Maintenance

Update the configuration file with the name of the custom MES menu.
25. Add the process ID you just created in step # 13 as the value for
the MESCustomMenuID node in the configuration file being referenced by
your MES icon. To find the name of your configuration file check the
properties of your MES icon. In the following example the
configuration file is named ""mes.mfgsys"".

C:\Epicor\vega403\client\MfgSys.exe -MES /config=mes.mfgsys

If the icon properties are C:\Epicor\vega403\client\MfgSys.exe -MES then
the the configuration file would be ""default.mfgsys"".
In Vantage 8.03 you can use the ConfigEditor.exe to change the value of
MESCustomMenuId. In this example you would set it to be
""UDMES1"". In older versions of Vantage you need to open the appropiate
configuration file using NotePad and under the
<appSettings> </appsettings> section make the following change
<MESCustomMenuID value=""UDMES1"" /> . You'll find the configuration
file in the ...epicor/client/config directory.

26. Log into MES again and you should now see your customization.

Note 1: When first installed you will need to change the xxx.mfgsys
file used by each MES user.

Note 2: Be sure to change the one in the Vantage client stored on the
server so that when you install a new release of Vantage and the
client folders are updated the modified xxx.mfgsys is downloaded to
the clients.

-Update the server's xxx.mfgsys to the Client's.

(Epicor.Mfg.Menu.Mes)

And finally the custom menu ID you created in the sub process (UD<name>)

Restart your Epicor/mes session and you should see your customization.
Any questions call. There probably isn't one form left in the MES that
we haven't hacked

Subject: RE: [Vantage] MES Customization

Sorry Charlie, I accidentally grabbed the wrong one.

PROBLEM:
How do you customize the main MES Menu and set to use it instead of
default?

SOLUTION:
1. Right-click on the shortcut for Vantage 8.0 MES.
2. Copy and paste the copy to the desktop.
3. Rename the copy to something like MES Developer.
4. Right-Click and choose Properties.
5. In the Target area, locate where it shows -MES and change it to
-MESC.
6. Click OK to save the changes.
7. Login to MES Developer.
8. Make your customizations and choose Save as
9. Give your customization a name (i.e CustomMES)
10. Save and close MES
11. Log into a your a regular 8.0 session
12. Go to System Management >> Utilites >> Sub Process Maintenance
13. Create a new menu ID and give it a name e.g UDMES1
14. Choose the security you want to apply to this option
15. Enter a parent process like PROCESS or MAINMENU
16. Enter a unique number for the sequence like 10, 15, 20, etc.
17. Under the Program section browse to or type in
Epicor.Mfg.Menu.Mes.dll
18. Choose the Customization name you saved in steps 4/5 from the list
box
19. Save and close Sub Process Maintenance
20. Create a Process Calling using System Management >> Utilities >>
Process Calling Maintenance
21. Choose File >> New
22. Process Called Reference = Epicor.Mfg.Menu.MES
23. Menu ID = UDMES1 (Menu ID create in step 13)
24. Save and close Process Calling Maintenance
25. Add the process ID you just created in step # 13 as the value for
the MESCustomMenuID node in the xxx.mfgsys file being referenced by your
MES icon
<MESCustomMenuID value="UDMES1" /> This should be listed under the
<appSettings> </appsettings> section. If the icon does not reference
mfgsys use the default.mfgsys found the ...epicor/client/config
directory.
26. Log into 8.0 MES again and you should now see your customization.

Note 1: When first installed you will need to change the xxx.mfgsys file
used by each MES user. You'll find this file in the config directory of
the epicor client folder e.g. c:\epicor\mfgsys803\client\config
Note 2: In a standard implementation of Vantage the name of the file
being changed is default.mfgsys. HOWEVER, this can change based on your
installation of Vantage. For example if you are running against a test
or pilot database the file maybe named test.mfgsys or pilot.mfgsys. You
may want to check the port number of the appserver that MES is using
agains the AppServerURL value="AppServerDC: <AppServerDC:
<AppServerDC: <AppServerDC://LAPIZ:8301> //LAPIZ:8301 <AppServerDC:
<AppServerDC://LAPIZ:8301> //LAPIZ:8301> > //LAPIZ:8301
<AppServerDC: <AppServerDC: <AppServerDC://LAPIZ:8301> //LAPIZ:8301
<AppServerDC: <AppServerDC://LAPIZ:8301> //LAPIZ:8301> >
//LAPIZ:8301>
<AppServerDC: <AppServerDC: <AppServerDC://LAPIZ:8301> //LAPIZ:8301
<AppServerDC: <AppServerDC://LAPIZ:8301> //LAPIZ:8301> >
//LAPIZ:8301 <AppServerDC:
<AppServerDC: <AppServerDC://LAPIZ:8301> //LAPIZ:8301 <AppServerDC:
<AppServerDC://LAPIZ:8301> //LAPIZ:8301> > //LAPIZ:8301> > >
//LAPIZ:8301" statement in
the default.mfgsys.
Note 3: Be sure to change the one in the Vantage client config directory
stored on the server. This way when you install a new release of Vantage
and the client folders are updated the modified xxx.mfgsys is
downloaded.

Subject: RE: [Vantage] MES Customization

I found this to be helpful for the main screen. Also do a search in
Vantage help for customizing any of the sub screens use 'mes
customization' as your search string. The instructions there aren't too
bad and you should be able to follow them to completion.

CUST How do you customize the main MES Menu and set to use it instead of
default

Details:

Summary: CUST How do you customize the main MES Menu and set to use it
instead of default
Book: Support Solutions
Page: 4306MPS

PROBLEM:
How do you customize the main MES Menu and set to use it instead of
default?

Note: this answerbooks also worked for 8.03 MES

SOLUTION
Create your customization
1. Right-click on the shortcut for Vantage 8.0 MES.
2. Copy and paste the copy to the desktop.
3. Rename the copy to something like MES Developer.
4. Right-Click and choose Properties.
5. In the Target area, locate where it shows -MES and change it to
-MESC.
6. Click OK to save the changes.
7. Login to MES Developer.
8. Make your customizations and choose Save as
9. Give your customization a name (i.e CustomMES)
10. Save and close MES

To deploy create a SubProcess record
11. Log into your a regular 8.0 session
12. Go to System Management >> Utilites >> Sub Process Maintenance
13. Create a new menu ID and give it a name e.g UDMES1
14. Choose the security you want to apply to this option
15. Enter a parent process like PROCESS or MAINMENU
16. Enter a unique number for the sequence like 10, 15, 20, etc.
17. Under the Program section browse to or type in
Epicor.Mfg.Menu.Mes.dll
18. Choose the Customization name you saved in steps 4/5 from the list
box
19. Save and close Sub Process Maintenance

Create a Calling Process Record:
20. Create a Process Calling using System Management >> Utilities >>

Process Calling Maintenance
21. Choose File >> New
22. Process Called Reference = Epicor.Mfg.Menu.MES
23. Menu ID = UDMES1 (Menu ID create in step 13)
24. Save and close Process Calling Maintenance

Update the configuration file with the name of the custom MES menu.
25. Add the process ID you just created in step # 13 as the value for
the MESCustomMenuID node in the configuration file being referenced by
your MES icon. To find the name of your configuration file check the
properties of your MES icon. In the following example the
configuration file is named ""mes.mfgsys"".

C:\Epicor\vega403\client\MfgSys.exe -MES /config=mes.mfgsys

If the icon properties are C:\Epicor\vega403\client\MfgSys.exe -MES then
the the configuration file would be ""default.mfgsys"".
In Vantage 8.03 you can use the ConfigEditor.exe to change the value of
MESCustomMenuId. In this example you would set it to be
""UDMES1"". In older versions of Vantage you need to open the appropiate
configuration file using NotePad and under the
<appSettings> </appsettings> section make the following change
<MESCustomMenuID value=""UDMES1"" /> . You'll find the configuration
file in the ...epicor/client/config directory.

26. Log into MES again and you should now see your customization.

Note 1: When first installed you will need to change the xxx.mfgsys
file used by each MES user.

Note 2: Be sure to change the one in the Vantage client stored on the
server so that when you install a new release of Vantage and the
client folders are updated the modified xxx.mfgsys is downloaded to
the clients.

-Update the server's xxx.mfgsys to the Client's.

I'm trying to customize an MES form (8.03.409)but many changes do not seem to stick - i.e., I delete a button or hide a button and it is back when I reopen the customization. Other changes do stick.

Is there some initializing code that creates objects on start-up or something perhaps you could suggest that I am failing to do that causes this?

Any documentation anyone can recommend?
It's buggy, believe it or not, the best way to work around this is to set
the size to 0,0.

If you're not in developer mode you need to add an entry in the Sub
Process Maintenance and also in the Process Calling Maintenance (both in
System management -> Utilities).

If you've made a change to the base MES menu (where you log in to) you
need to make a change to the pf file.

I'm sending you a word document off-line with more detailed
instructions.

Carl,

If you try to hide one of the standard buttons that were there but
blank, it will always come back on the reopening of the program. What I
finally did was put my custom buttons over the top of the standard
buttons. You should have no issues with the buttons that you create.

If you are using Windows XP for your MES terminals, it helps to switch the desktop appearance from Windows XP style to Windows Classic style (you know with the blocky buttons and all). I used to have trouble with my personalizations and customizations not sticking (or partially sticking) until I tried it on an old PC with Visual effects set to "adjust for best performance" and it worked fine.

I am trying to implement a change to the End Activity Screen. I cannot get to that screen through Menu Maintenance, I can only go as deep as Office MES.

Rich,



You need to go into MES in developer mode. Modify the properties of the
shortcut you use to run MES, and add a "C" on the option "-MES", so your
link will look something like:

"C:\...\Client\MfgSys.exe" -MESC /config=dbname.mfgsys



That gets you into developer mode. Once you have your customization, you'll
need to create a record in subprocess maint, plus calling process maint.



HTH.

Kevin
