Step 3: Monitor SPC PropertiesStep 4: Next Steps     Step 3: Monitor SPC Properties   Once the properties have been configured, you are ready to progress on to SPC monitoring.   This is done by viewing the PTC.SPC.Monitoring_MU Mashup.   NOTE: Once a property has been configured for SPC monitoring, 2-5 minutes must pass before the accelerator has collected enough streaming values to perform SPC calculations. During this time, you may see an item that has 2 OOC rules violated; “Collecting Enough Data to Begin Monitoring” and “… to Compute Capability”.     Within Property SPC Status, click an item from the grid that has 0 in the OOC column. See that the Out of Control Rules area is blank, since there are no currently-violated SCP rules for that selected property. Both CP and CPK are above 1.0, showing that the process is capable. All the points in the charts are blue, as they do not violate any OOC rules. Within Property SPC Status, click an it

Some background, we were having some issues with properties connecting that do not change often. We changed the push type of the property to "Always" and this allowed good quality. According to best practices though, we shouldn't do this for many properties. In the same article, it mentions setting the Cache time would pull from the Edge device so we tried this in hopes these properties can pull these static values and connect. Issue: We're having trouble with setting the cache time of a remote property via service. Here's the code, cacheTime grabbed from this article.    // properties and addresses from Kepware propertiesAndAddresses = ["FlowMeterFlowRateAV","S7E_1501_1032.1032.3.DB74,DBW10",.....]; for(var i = 0; i < propertiesAndAddresses.length - 1; i+=2){ var aspects = { "tagAddress": propertiesAndAddresses[i+1], "scanRate": 500 }; me.SetRemotePropertyBinding({ propertyName: propertiesAndAddresses[i], // STRING aspects: aspects,// JSON cache

Step 4: Create and Implement State DefinitionsStep 5: Implementing Event-Based State ChangesStep 6: Next Steps  Step 4: Create and Implement State Definitions A state definition is a collection of style definitions, along with rules for when to apply each style definition. The rule plus the style definition is a state. In the HelloWorldPlayground Mashup, if the Gauge Widget goes to 10 and the Increment the Count button is clicked once again, the Gauge starts back at 0. This value change is displayed in the Line Chart when it is refreshed. Nevertheless, it would be helpful to have a way to show a user that they’re encroaching 10 and will have to restart, such as the Gauge changing colors in the section. This and many other uses is where State Definitions become useful and go hand and hand with Style Definitions.  Create Style Definition to Represent State Change First, let’s create Style Definitions to represent the changes in the count. The default St

Hi Community, We created a grid using collection widget, which is working fine for us and is showing data as per expectation.But only two users are facing this issue that no data is loading for them on screen, but service is returning data in response. Although, I can see child mashup name in headers of network with Request Method as GET and Error code as 404.Is data loading on response and not on runtime because of this 404 error or can this be due to something else?Permissions seem to be working fine for user.

Step 7: Delivery Truck ModelStep 8: Services and Events Step 7: Delivery Truck Model  In the Delivery Truck application, there are three Delivery Truck Things. Each Thing has a number of Properties based on its location, speed, and its deliveries carried out. In this design, when a delivery is made or the truck is no longer moving, the property values are updated. The DeliveryTruckThing class extends the VirtualThing class and based on the DeliveryTruck Entities in the Composer. After extending VirtualThing, there are a number of steps necessary to get going. For the DeliveryTruckThing and SimpleThing classes, there are a number of methods for creating Properties, Events, Services, and Data Shapes for ease of use. The constructor for the DeliveryTruckThing takes in the name of the Thing, the description of the Thing, and the ConnectedThingClient instance used to make the connection. It then sends these values to the VirtualThing constructor as sh
