Installing the Patch

This patch should only be installed on top of an existing MES 2014 R3 installation that has the MES Web Portal.

1. Stop the MES Service application and the MES Middleware service that is running on the node on which the patch is being installed.
2. Close the post-install Configurator application if it is open.
3. Run the file MES2014R3_Patch01_<date>.exe, where <date> is the timestamp in the patch executable file name.

   The patch install tool opens and displays the license agreement.

4. Accept the license agreement.

   The patch list appears.

5. Select the patch entry and click Install.

   When the screen showing the patch name preceded by a green check mark appears, the install is complete.

   The patch installs database scripts and updated Web Portal content. If the Web Portal is not installed, the patch will attempt to install it.

   The install might fail if the MES Web Portal was not previously installed and the prerequisites have not been met.

6. Click Finish to close the install tool.

   The post-install Configurator application opens.

The reconfiguration of the MES Web Portal will deploy the updated Web Portal content. As part of this process, a copy of the existing Web Portal content will be stored in a Zip file in the MES Web Portal folder to save any customizations that might have been made to Web Portal. Those customizations will have to be reapplied to the active Web Portal content.
