Build and deploy an entity

Once you are finished configuring the OCO, save the OCO 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 OCO template, you might have to update your entities to cascade your changes to any derived OCO instances. This depends on what you changed and what attributes you may have locked in your template.

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

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

After you have saved your configured OCO, you can then create or update the corresponding MES entities by building your entity models. See Create an entity in the MES database from an application object with an OCO and Update MES entities with OCO 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 OCO OnScan, it will begin using the defined OCO configuration for run-time operations.

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