Get started with the MES Cloud Integration curation service

The MES curation service is a Windows service that provides two main functions:

• Extracting (curating) data from the MES production database tables and storing it in staging tables. The MES Staging Curation Service supports publishing of MES events from util_history, job_history, job_hour_history, shift_history, wo, job, job_bom, item_prod, item_cons, job_events, job_route, lot, sublot, item_inv, item_transfer, storage_ent_transfer, receipt, receipt_lot, shipment, shipment_lot, po, po_line, so, and so_line. All necessary context information such as entity, items, and utilization reasons are also included.

• Providing a Web API interface for the AVEVA Events to CONNECT agent. The agent periodically requests event data from the MES Curation Service including context information. When data is available, it is sent to CONNECT data services event storage.

The MES Curation Service component must be installed on a machine that has an existing MES middleware from a supported version of MES. AVEVA Events to CONNECT can be installed on the same or a separate machine. The machine where Events to CONNECT is installed must have an internet connection to CONNECT.

Note: The MES Curation Service component license must be activated in order to access Connected MES Cloud integration functionality. For more information, refer to the MES Installation documentation.
