Hi All, I am trying to design an mashup which will fetch data from MS-SQL database to info table, and further info table is mapped to mashup. Things are working fine when data is static i.e. in all iteration if data set is same. But my requirement is the data fetched from Database will be dynamic, each time it depends on user input.  I would like to know how to handle dynamic data with info table mapped to mashup

Hi community, I am trying to display duration (difference between 2 dates). I converted it from decimal hours to hours.The problem I am now facing is the minutes are not displaying. The duration only changes after an hour.  Below is the code that I have written. Does someone know How I can solve this problem.  var decimalTime = parseFloat(duration);decimalTime = decimalTime * 60 * 60;var hours = Math.floor((decimalTime / (60 * 60)));decimalTime = decimalTime - (hours * 60 * 60);var minutes = Math.floor((decimalTime / 60));decimalTime = decimalTime - (minutes * 60);var seconds = Math.round(decimalTime);if(hours < 10){hours = "0" + hours;}if(minutes < 10){minutes = "0" + minutes;}let result = ("" + hours + ":" + minutes); The desired output should be e.g., 16:00. Then after two minutes I should see 16:02. However currently I am only seeing a change after an hour (i.e. 17:00 after sixty minutes). Many thanks

Hello, community, I am trying to filter my stream using the data filter widget. I wrote a service that outputs values from my stream. I've bound all data from the stream to the data filter widget. Took the query property of the widget and bound it to the grid. Then took the querychanged event from the widget to invoke my customer service. On runtime, I can query using my filter but the result (filtered data) does not appear on my grid. It only shows the number of rows that have been filtered. Please see the screenshot below. How can I solve this? I used this tutorial: https://support.ptc.com/help/thingworx/platform/r9/en/index.html#page/ThingWorx/Help/Mashup_Builder/Widgets/ChipBasedDataFilterWidgetThemable.html Many thanks.

I recently updated thingworx to 9.3.3.When i set the SelectedRows source i get the following error while debugging:13:45:54 ERROR - Runtime exception handling data update for binding {"Id":"097e2722-4c44-48f8-babd-0eaa37bbd51e","SourceId":"GetSelected","SourceArea":"Data","SourceSection":"Things_Jens Test Thing","SourceDetails":"AllData","TargetArea":"UI","TargetSection":"","TargetId":"ptcsgrid-8","PropertyMaps":[{"SourceProperty":"","SourcePropertyType":"InfoTable","SourcePropertyBaseType":"INFOTABLE","TargetProperty":"SelectedRows","TargetPropertyType":"property","TargetPropertyBaseType":"INFOTABLE"}],"isBoundToSelectedRows":false,"nEntries":1}Exception: this.updateSelectedRowsProperty is not a function on line number 1 in file mashup-common-widgets-runtime.js?_v=9.3.3 i put a demonstration file in the attachments. if you change the getSelected binding to the Gridadvanced widget it works as expected. but it doesnt work on the new Grid widget.I am missing something

Hello all, Somebody kindly clarify the difference between Thingworx v9.1 dev & prdn instance license. what will happen if we use dev license for production server instance. Please clarify clearly!!!

Step 8: TasksStep 9: File Transfer ExampleStaging DirectoryStep 10: Support Other Platforms Step 8: TasksIf you are using the built-in Tasker to drive data collection or other types of repetitive or periodic activities, create a function for the task. Task functions are registered with the Tasker and then called at the rate specified after they are registered. The Tasker is a very simple, cooperative multitasker, so these functions should not take long to return and most certainly must not go into an infinite loop.The signature for a task function is found in [C SDK HOME DIR]/src/utils/twTasker.h. The function is passed a DATETIME value with the current time and a void pointer that is passed into the Tasker when the task is registered. After creating this function, it will need to be registered using the twApi_CreateTask function after the connection is created. Below shows an example of creating this function, registering this function, and how this function can be used.#define D

Step 5: PropertiesStep 6: Data ShapesStep 7: Events and Services Step 5: PropertiesIn 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 deliveryTruck.c helper C file is based on the DeliveryTruck Entities in the Composer. After calling the construct function, there are a number of steps necessary to get going. For the SimpleThing application, there are a number of methods for creating Properties, Events, Services, and Data Shapes for ease of use.Properties can be created in the client or just registered and utilized. In the SimpleThingClient application, Properties are created. In the DeliveryTruckClient application, Properties are bound to their ThingWorx Platform counterpart. Two types of structures are used by the C SDK to define Properties when

Step 3: Run Sample CodeStep 4: ExampleClient Connection Step 3: Run Sample CodeThe C code in the sample download is configured to run and connect to the Entities provided in the ThingWorxEntitiesExport.xml file. Make note of the IP address of your ThingWorx Composer instance. The top level of the exported zip file will be referred to as [C SDK HOME DIR].Navigate to the [C SDK HOME DIR]/examples/ExampleClient/src directory.Open the main.c source file.Operating System          Command Linux/Ubuntugedit main.c OR vi main.cMacopen –e main.cWindowsstart main.cModify the Server Details section at the top with the IP address for your ThingWorx Platform instance and the Application Key you would like to use. Change the TW_HOST definition accordingly.NOTE: By default, TW_APP_KEY has been set to the Application Key from the admin_key in the import step completed earlier. Using the Application Key for the default Administrator is not recommended.
