About this release

MES Cloud integration includes the following components for extracting on-premises MES data and publishing it to CONNECT data services:

AVEVA Events to CONNECT agent

The AVEVA Events to CONNECT agent provides the connectivity to CONNECT data services and enables the publishing of MES events from the MES Curation Service. The AVEVA MES Cloud integration solution must be used with this component. AVEVA Events to CONNECT is included as a separate install and configuration.

MES Curation Service

The MES Staging Curation service is a Windows service that provides two main functions:

• Extracting (curating) data from the MES database and storing it in a staging schema. This release of the MES Staging Curation Service supports publishing of MES genealogy and inventory events from item_cons, job_events, job_route, lot, sublot, item_inv, item_transfer, storage_ent_transfer, receipt, receipt_lot, shipment, shipment_lot, po, po_line, so, and so_line. All necessary context information such as customer are also included.

• Providing a Web API interface for the AVEVA Events to CONNECT agent. The agent periodically requests event data from the MES Curation service including context information. When data is available, it is sent to CONNECT data services event storage.

CONNECT visualization

Within the AVEVA Cloud Platform, the visualization of the published data is through pre-built widgets. New widgets to visualize the additional published data will be released incrementally in the future.
