Hello, I've been working with JSON as inputs to services a lot more lately and I've noticed a strange behavior, at least for me.  When I have set the Inputs as a JSON: And put a JSON object with an array in it (with several objects in it), something like this:When using this object in the code and trying to push some new objects into this array I get the error saying that the .push() function doesn't exist. "TypeError: Cannot find function push in object" But if I declare the exact same object in the code, something like this: let array = { "PlatformData": [ { "Comment": "User Projects (not the PTC projects)", "Description": "1\nP", "Instance": "", "ServerName": "", "TypeOfEntity": "Projects", "Timestamp": "2022-11-04 15:52:37.170", "Name": "" }, { "Comment": "User Projects (not the PTC projects)", "Description": "", "Instance": "", "ServerName": "", "TypeOfEntity": "Projects", "Timestamp": "2022-11-04 15:52:37.170", "Name": "" } ]

I have a requirement to switch on a camera from browser of ipad to click a image and store it in system. For this I am trying to build a custom widget.  For this I have created a "CameraON" boolean property in camera.ide.js file. From camera.runtime.js file I am checking for this property, if it is true I am trying to switch on the camera. But it is not working. I am attaching both the files for reference.  It would be helpful if someone can help on this or suggest how to troubleshoot.Thanks in advance!

Dear community, I am having trouble with the QueryDataTableEntries Service of DataTables, Build 9.3.0-b20. I prepared an example and attached it to this thread, it contains a DataTable Thing with an according DataShape. The DataShape has 3 fields, each is defined as part of the key. The DataTable has 8 entries (2 different values per field, permutated), they are added by the Init Service which is called on ThingStart. The Service VerifyQueryDataTableEntries performs 4 tests to query the data. The first two are working well. The last is failing, it doesn't return any row but I would expect to receive one.The third test seems to be an act of randomness. First it succeeds but if you execute the Init Service (or restart the DataTable) a second time it also fails!??? I consider this behavior a bug. Or at least it is a change in behavior since 8.4.15, in our old environment all tests succeed. Thank you for checkingBenny

Hello everyone, I've created an extension that convert a file from csv to parquet and send it to Event Hub. The creation of parquet is based on spark-3.3.0-bin-hadoop2  libraries installed on file system and referred by an enviroment variable. This scenario is working well but i wondering if is possible perform the same action loading the spark-3.3.0-bin-hadoop2  as a Thingworx extension. In this case how  can I referred the library in an environment variables ?Answering question  could solve the problem when Thingworx is installed in a cloud environment.  Thank you

Step 5: Java - EventsStep 6: Java - Services Step 5: Java - Events While connected to the server, you can trigger an event on a remote Thing. The code snippet from the Simple Thing example below shows how to use a ValueCollection to specify the payload of an event, and then trigger a FileEvent on a remote Thing. Create Event The two implementations of the VirtualThing.defineEvent method are used to create an event definition ThingWorx Platform.@ThingworxEventDefinitions(events = { @ThingworxEventDefinition(name = "SteamSensorFault", description = "Steam sensor fault", dataShape = "SteamSensor.Fault", category = "Faults", isInvocable = true, isPropertyEvent = false) })public void defineEvent(String name, String description, String dataShape, AspectCollection aspects) { EventDefinition eventDefinition = new EventDefinition(name, description); eventDefinition.setDataShapeName(dataShape); if (aspects != null) { eventDefinition.setAspects(aspect

Step 7: C - Entities and Functions  Step 7: C - Entities and Functions All SDKs require a RemoteThing be created in ThingWorx in order to communicate. If many Things are to be created with the same properties, services, and events, we recommend that a Thing Template be derived from one of the supplied RemoteThing templates. NOTE: The macros are all defined in the twMacros.h header file. Define ThingShape ThingShapes are used in the ThingWorx object-oriented Data Model and used to create Things later on. In order to create a ThingShape, you can do so with the provided macros. In order to define a ThingShapes using a macro, you will use TW_DECLARE_SHAPE or TW_SHAPE.TW_DECLARE_SHAPE("SteamLocation","Address Shape","UniqueNameSpace"); Define ThingTemplate ThingTemplates are used in the ThingWorx object oriented Data Model and used to create Things later on. In order to create a ThingTemplate, you can do so with the

Step 8: C - Properties (cont.)Step 9: C - Data Shapes Step 8: C - Properties (cont.) Register Properties Registering properties and services with the API: Tells the API what callback function to invoke when a request for that property or service comes in from ThingWorx.Gives the API information about the property or service so that when ThingWorx browses the Edge device, it can be informed about the availability and the definition of that property or service.If you used the TW_PROPERTY macro, your property has been registered. If using function calls, to register a property, use the twApi_RegisterProperty. The documentation for this function can be found in [C SDK HOME DIR]/src/api/twApi.h. NOTE: If you used the provided Macros to create your property, it has already been registered. Bind the Thing in order for your property to be bound. An example of registering a property is as follows: twApi_RegisterProperty(TW_THING, “SimpleThi

Step 10: C - Info TablesStep 11: C - EventsStep 12: C - Services  Step 10: C - Info Tables Infotables are used for storing and retrieving data from service calls. An infotable has a DataShapeDefinition that describes the names, base types, and additional information about each field within the table. In order to create an Infotable, you can do so with the provided macros or functions. Define With Macros In order to define Infotables using a macro, use TW_MAKE_INFOTABLE or TW_MAKE_IT. Both macros can be used interchangeably. NOTE: The macros are all defined in the twMacros.h header file.twInfoTable* it; it = TW_MAKE_IT( TW_MAKE_DATASHAPE(DATSHAPE_NAME_SENSOR_READINGS, TW_DS_ENTRY("ActivationTime", TW_NO_DESCRIPTION ,TW_DATETIME), TW_DS_ENTRY("SensorName", TW_NO_DESCRIPTION ,TW_NUMBER), TW_DS_ENTRY("Temperature", TW_NO_DESCRIPTION ,TW_NUMBER), TW_DS_ENTRY("Pressure", TW_NO_DESCRIPTION ,TW_NUMBER), TW_DS_ENTRY("FaultStatus", TW_NO_DE
