Install the Plant Applications Server
Before you begin
Verify that you have installed Proficy Application Workflow.
Procedure
-
Copy the software and extract files to the computer where you want to install
the Plant Applications Server, then run InstallFrontEnd.exe
as an administrator.
The Proficy Plant Applications 2023 page appears.
-
From the Installation Menu, under the
Prerequisites group, select Plant
Applications Server. If the installation does not start
automatically, then locate and double-click the
PlantAppsSetup.exe file.
The License Agreement page appears.
-
Select I Agree to accept the agreement.
The Configure Security page appears.

Enter the administrator credentials, then select
Next.
You must enter the credentials that you used when installing Workflow, for example, the Proficy (Workflow) SOA Server or Proficy (Workflow) Client.
The RabbitMQ Credentials - MessageBridge Service page appears.
-
Enter the following details, and then select Next.
Credential Description Username Enter the user login name to log into the application during installation. Password Enter the password to log into the application.

To install the Plant Applications Service Provider, select the Install Plant Apps Service
Provider checkbox, then select
Next.
Note: The PASP supports Plant Applications versions 4.4.1 and 5.0 for customers using interface methods published with the old version of the service provider. A standalone installation program is available if you install the PASP later. The new MESCore Service Provider, which supports the UMDB, is installed with Plant Applications 6.0 or higher. Methods for the PASP remain documented in the Proficy Workflow help. You must install the PASP to run any workflow applications developed to run against Plant Applications 6.0 and earlier, as they will not run with the new MESCore SP.
The Ready to Install page appears.
-
Select Install to start the installation.
The installation script times out after 10 minutes if the Proficy Server service does not start and prompts you to manually start the service. Once the service is started, the installation automatically continues.
- Verify your installation by checking the installation log files.
