Start MES Client

On the Start menu, click the MES Client tile.

The Loading MES Client screen appears. Then, if your Windows user account has been configured as an MES user and the Automatic Login system parameter has been set to Yes, MES Client opens without prompting for user authentication. Otherwise, the login dialog box appears.

In the Language list, click the language in which you want the login dialog box to appear.

You can select only those languages that are configured in the MES Client application. If you restart the application, the language setting resets to the default language. The default language is set by the Display system parameter Default Language. For more information on the Display system parameters, see System parameters reference.

In the User Name and Password boxes, type your username and password.

• If the MES user Security mode is set to Native, you can obtain the username and password from the MES administrator who set up users in MES Client.

• If the Security mode is set to OS User or OS Group, enter your Windows username, including the domain.

Click Logon.

The MES Client application opens.

Note: If the MES user Security mode is set to OS Group and the username you entered is not a member of a Windows user group that has been added to the MES database, the following error message appears: OS User group is not configured. For more information, see Set up user groups and users in OS Group security mode.
