Requirements for migrating shift schedules

When upgrading MES from MES 2020 (6.2) or a prior version to the current version, the shift schedules and their entity links are migrated to shift patterns, shift schedules, and shift pattern-entity links.

• Shift patterns created from migrated shift schedules are named MES DB n.n Upgrade Pattern – n.

• The shift pattern will have the same entity assignments as the shift schedule on which it was based.

• The shift pattern will have assigned to it any shifts that were defined in the shift schedule on which it was based.

• The migrated shifts will retain their descriptions.

• Shift exceptions are not migrated during the upgrade. Therefore, any existing shift exceptions might have to be re-configured.

For more information about shift patterns and schedules, see the MES Client User Guide or help.
