I'm new here and starting to work with Kepware. For this new site, in the Properties of the RTAC device, if we leave the Block Sizes, Internal Registers at the default setting of 32, the last 11 tags show "Unknown" Value in the Quick Client. If we change the setting to 16, there are 3 Unknown. At 8 there are 3 Unknown, but 9 there are 4. I've tried several other Register numbers and the Unknown tags varies up and down, with no discernible pattern.   We just can't determine the logic behind what is set in Internal Registers and how many tags show an Unknown value. We currently have the setting at 1 and it's showing all the tags.   Anyone know how to properly determine what the Internal Registers should be? I'm attaching 4 screenshots showing the Registers setting and the Tags that are Unknown.   Thanks! Mike

Hello,Reason configuration of Thingworx RTPPM is not happening through stored procedure in SSMS. It is returning a warning "Insert ReasonHierarchies at level 2 Reason Hierarchy Parent could not be found - no ReasonHierarchy records were inserted at this level". Anyone please let me know what could be the reason behind and how to fix this. Thanks in Advance,Regards,Bhavya 

Hello community 🙂   I am trying to get the output from my service to appear on my list widget. I've pulled my service and "All Data" onto my mashup. However the widget gives me the error in the attachment below.   How do I go about fixing this ? Your suggestions will be much appreciated thanks. Jay_Nisa.  

We are obliged to use naming conventions, based on PTC proposals, so every mashup has to have name like [organisation].[projectname].[mashupname]_DS.On the other hand, when I view final mashup as end-user, I see this name in browser as tabname. How can I declare tabname in browser different than mashup name, something more functional and less scaring for final user, like Efficiency reports?To clarify, here is printscreen, with red what's standard for thingworx, and blue - for what I want to achieve.

Hello everyone, we want to send images saved in a ThingWorx Repository to a SharePoint list. The service in itself works, however we have only achieved to send download links of the images (by using the service GetFileListingsWithLinks, column downloadLink), but not the image itself.  We were wondering if it is possible to generate a link that doesn't automatically download the image, when the link is pasted in the browser? Has anyone ever achieved this? Is this technically even possible?  Thank you so much!

i installed thingworx foundation installer for postgresql. The url localhost:8080 is not showing that tomcat is running but thee url localhost:8080/Thingworx is connecting to thingworx composer. What is the reason for this? Then how to check tomcat is running or not in browser. 

So I got all the enabled schedulers in an infotable and want to disable them so I wrote this code that sends them to a property and then disables them: for(i=0; i<=t.rows.length; i++){me.Schedulers = result;Things[t[i].name].EnableThing();}and I get this error:  Error executing service testSchedulers. Message :: Index 9 out of bounds for length 9 - See Script Error Log for more details. It all seems to work well until I try to disable them. Any idea how I can fix this?
