Build and deploy an entity

Once you are finished configuring the UCO, save the UCO and fix any errors that are reported. Depending on the changes you made, you will have to build the entity model.

• If you made a change to a UCO template, you might have to update your entities to cascade your changes to any derived UCO instances. This depends on what you changed and what attributes you may have locked in your template.

• If you made a change to a UCO instance, you will only have to build the entity for the instance.

UCO instances that need to have their corresponding entities built or updated using Entity Model Builder will display an error indicator on the UCO icon in the System Platform IDE.

After you have saved your configured UCO, you can then create or update the corresponding MES entities by building your entity models. See Creating an entity in the MES database from an application object with a UCO and Update MES entities with UCO changes.

After you have built or updated the entities, you can deploy your equipment model for run-time operation. For detailed information deploying your galaxy, see the System Platform IDE help.

When you deploy the UCO OnScan, it will begin using the defined UCO configuration for run-time operations.

You can configure system parameters, such as default reasons or good and rejected production records in MES Client application. For more information about configuring system parameters, see MES Client User Guide or online help.
