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://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.
