Customizing the MES Middleware

You can use the Middleware Configuration Editor to configure the custom mapping file that the middleware uses while processing commands. The following items can be configured:

• Settings that affect the MES middleware communication with client applications and MES databases

• Command (SP) timeouts

• Custom database SP mappings

• Custom batch SP mappings

• Extensibility hooks

After changing and saving settings in the Middleware Configuration Editor, you will have to restart the MES middleware service to have the changes take effect. See Starting, Stopping, and Restarting the Local MES Middleware Host.

In some cases, you will also have to restart any running clients.

Note: Changes to the middleware configuration file should only be performed using the Middleware Configuration Editor.
