MES Web Portal component properties

Update Feature Delegation Settings Property

• MES.WebPortal.UpdateFeatureDelegationSettings

  Specifies whether MES Web Portal delegate feature settings are retained in the MES Web Portal configuration file or updated in the applicationHost.config file.

  Values are:

  • True: The Configurator will update the IIS applicationHost.config file with the proper MES Web Portal configuration settings, and remove those settings from the MES Web Portal web.config file. (The feature settings can only be included in one of these files, but not both. Otherwise, the MES Web Portal web site will not run.)

  • False: The Configurator does not update the IIS applicationHost.config file and leaves the conflicting feature settings in the web.config file.

    The default value True is used if this property is not specified.

    If the setting is False, the configuration finishes but, to allow the MES Web Portal web site to run, a web administrator must then either:

  • Change the setting for the conflicting feature delegations to Read/Write in IIS Manager, or

  • Edit the IIS applicationHost.config file manually to set the feature settings to the appropriate MES Web Portal values and remove those settings from the MES Web Portal web.config file.

    For instructions about how to set feature delegations in IIS Manager and how to manually modify the applicationHost.config file, refer to the IIS Feature Delegation topics on the Microsoft TechNet web site.
