1 Wonderware MES Web Portal is not supported on Windows Server 2008.
Note: Depending on complexity and size of your database server, 30 GB or more of available disk space is recommended. Your database hard disk space should be enough to support the storage and performance requirements for your particular deployment.
Software Requirements
This section lists the Wonderware and other third-party software requirements to install Wonderware MES 2014 SP1:
- For all components except Wonderware MES Web Portal: Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1.
Note: If Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 is not installed on the computer, the Wonderware MES installation will attempt to automatically install it. On newer OS versions, an error will occur when the MES installation process attempts to install Microsoft .NET Framework. Therefore, you should install Microsoft .NET Framework before beginning the Wonderware MES installation.
- If installing Wonderware MES Web Portal:
- Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5. If this version of the .NET Framework is not installed on the computer, the Wonderware MES installation automatically installs it.
- Microsoft Internet Information Services 7.5.
- The Entity Model Builder feature requires ArchestrA Integrated Development Environment (ArchestrA IDE).
- The Wonderware Information Server Integration feature requires Wonderware Information Server. For more information, see Wonderware MES Reports in Wonderware Information Server Guide.
Web Browsers Supported for MES Web Portal Client
The MES Web Portal client has been validated with the following web browsers:
- Chrome 40
- Firefox 33
- Internet Explorer 9, 10, 10 Native, and 11
It is expected that the MES Web Portal client will operate properly with subsequent releases of Chrome and Firefox browsers. However, if any MES Web Portal features do not function due to changes in a new release of Chrome or Firefox, customers will be notified by a Technical Alert when Schneider-Electric is made aware of the issue.
Note: When running MES Web Portal in some previous releases of Internet Explorer 11, there is a browser issue that can cause filter boxes on a page to not display correctly (for example, the filter box might be covered by a tile). To prevent this, make sure that a recent release of Internet Explorer 11 (more recent than 11.0.9600.17280) is installed.
Note: Demo videos in the MES Web Portal help will not run in Internet Explorer 9 or standard Firefox. To run demo videos in Firefox, you must have an MP4-capable video player such as Windows Media Player installed on both the server and client machines, or have a third-party MP4 plug-in installed in Firefox.
Note: Windows Server 2008 is supported for upgrade installations that are not using the new MES Web Portal.

Database Requirements Notes
- SQL Server should be configured for TCP/IP for local and remote connections. If you use SQL Server, make sure it is installed using a case-insensitive collation.
- Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator and IIS 6.0 or later.
- MES Database using multiple languages requires AL32UTF8 Unicode character set installed on your server.
- The default installation of SQL Server 2008 Express does not permit external connections. Remote Connections and SQL Server Browser services must be enabled for it to allow external connections. For more information, refer to the Wonderware MES Installation Guide or help.
- The MES Database Configuration Utility requires the Oracle Client installation to configure an Oracle database. SQLPlus must be available.
Note: For proper database maintenance, it is recommended that you use an SQL Enterprise version due to the availability of online indexing capability.
Using Wonderware MES with Oracle on a Non-English Operating System
When you install Oracle on a supported non-English operating system:
- Install with the default CodePage appropriate to the language of the operating system. For example: CL8MSWIN1251 for Russian, WE8MSWIN1252 for French.
- Run Regedit.
- Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE|SOFTWARE|ORACLE and look for the key under Oracle for the Oracle Home. Depending on the Oracle version, the wording of this may be different.
- Select the NLS_LANG option (LANGUAGE_TERRITORY.CHARACTERSET) associated with this Oracle Home key. Edit the CHARACTERSET to AL32UTF8 so that NLS_LANG option is RUSSIAN_RUSSIA.AL32UTF8.
- Install MES as normal.
If you are using a non-English Oracle environment and are saving changes in the MES Client (or any code using the MES API), the 'String was not recognized as a valid DateTime' error occurs.
To fix the issue:
- Run Regedit.
- Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE|SOFTWARE|ORACLE and look for the key under Oracle for the Oracle Home key. Depending on the Oracle version, the wording of this may be different.
- Right-click the key, point to New and then click String Value.
- For the new string value, set the Name to: NLS_DATE_FORMAT
- Double-click the new string value and set the Value data to: yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss
Installing Wonderware MES with an Oracle 64-bit Database
Wonderware MES can connect to and use a 64-bit Oracle database server for better performance. MES clients and applications will need 32-bit Oracle client components in order to connect.
For the Oracle server, you need to install the 64-bit Oracle database server and 32-bit Oracle client. For the MES client, it will need the 32-bit Oracle client and Oracle Data Access Components to connect the database server.
The following outlines the procedure to set up MES for a 64-bit Oracle database server.
Installing the MES Database on the Server
- Create the Oracle Database using the 64-bit Oracle Database installation setup. Additional databases can be set up using Oracle’s Database Configuration Assistant (DBCA).
- After installing the database, ensure that the listener is up and running for the database that is created.
- Start the Oracle Enterprise Manager for the database, so that you can ensure that the instance is up and running and that you can monitor and tune your database.
- Install the Oracle 32-bit client, with the Administrator options.
- Using the client’s Oracle Net Manager, create a network service name for database.
- Test the connection to Oracle database using tnsping and SQL*Plus.
- Install MES Database Setup utility.
- Create the MES user, tablespace, and schema using the Database Setup utility by entering the net service name and the schema owner and password. The tablespaces, schema, and schema objects will be created by the utility. You will need the password for the SYSTEM user to create the tablespace and schema.
Connecting MES Client to the MES 64-bit Oracle database
- If necessary, install the 32-bit Oracle client and create a network service name for the database.
- Install the Oracle Database Access Components (ODAC).
- Install the MES Client and other components.
- Configure the Oracle database using Wonderware MES Database Connection Editor.
- The Data Source refers to the Oracle network service name.
- The User ID refers to the schema owner.
- The Database Password refers to the schema owner password.
- Test the connection and ensure that you can connect successfully. Save the settings.
- Restart the MES Middleware and the MES service.
- Open MES Client and connect.
