Multiple Plants in a single Instance of MII

187 Views

Hello,

We are currently trying to solve the following problem. We have a production process that is equal in several production sites, and at each plant we have running several machines. Hence we develop a package in MII that fits all plants / machines. Since we have a centralized data center, we do not want to locate the MII Servers at the plant due to several reasons. The goal is to develop a single package and deploy it several times (once for each plant) on a single centralized clustered installation of MII. We need the copies to make the deployment of package updates easier (plant after plant, not all at the same time).

The structure in the MII Workbench should look like this:

-> Server

--> plant_1

---> copy_1_of_package

--> plant_2

---> copy_2_of_package

--> plant_3

---> copy_3_of_package

--> ...

--> plant_n

---> copy_n_of_package

But I see several Problems: If I copy the packages, the paths will be wrong, since they are absolute paths!? Is there a way to work with relative paths? Is it possible in general to manage several plants in a single instance of MII or do we really need a seperate server for each plant?

Kind Regards,

Matthias

We are running Version 12 SP3
