Update MES entities with UCO changes

You can use the Entity Model Builder to update your MES entities with any of the following changes made to the UCOs in the System Platform IDE:

• Changing the configuration of a UCO.

• Adding a UCO at a higher level in the equipment model.

• Moving a UCO to a higher level in the equipment model (re-parenting).

• Renaming a parent to a UCO at a higher level in the equipment model. This creates a new entity in the MES database and re-parents the old entity's children, if there are any.

• Adding a UCO to the equipment model that has the same name as an entity manually configured using MES Web Portal or MES Client. The existing entity's children (if any) are re-parented.

• Moving a UCO to another parent application object. The old parent is no longer considered an entity (although it still exists in MES). This creates a new entity and parent entities, if needed.

If you remove an entity in your IDE equipment model, the entity is not deleted in MES.

If you have not made any changes to the System Platform equipment model, the Entity Model Builder just checks that the utilization/OEE configuration in the System Platform equipment model also exists in the entity model. If there are any differences, the MES configuration is updated to match the System Platform configuration.
