Build and deploy an entity

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

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

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

After you have saved your configured SRO, 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 a SRO and Update MES entities with SRO 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 SRO OnScan, it will begin using the defined SRO configuration for run-time operations.

If changes are made in MES Client to the characteristics captured by the SRO, the SRO will need to be modified to make the same characteristic changes. For information about configuring SRO characteristics, see Configure characteristic attributes and commands.
