IoT & Connectivity

Solution Central and Azure Active DirectoryWritten by: Tori Firewind, IoT EDC As we’ve said in a previous post, Solution Central (SC) is a crucial part of any mature dev ops pipeline. In its latest version (3.1.0), it manages custom solutions even more easily due to the SC API. However, this comes with a few requirements that can be a little tricky. One of the more complex configuration pieces for using this new API involves a cloud-hosted Active Directory (AD) application within Azure AD. In order to make use of the new API, your organization’s users must exist on an Azure AD tenant that is separate from the PTC tenant. Most PTC customers are placed on this PTC-owned tenant by default, so additional configuration may be required to set up the AD instance within Azure before the SC API can be used. The type of tenant has to be Azure, of course, as that is what PTC uses: a multi-tenancy Azure infrastructure for all authentication. In this usage, “tenant” is a cloud-hostin

Hello all, I am new on ThingWorx. I have a created a Thing Shape with some properties, a Thing Template, then 4 car things. I need to create a service that inserts values to the properties in my things.How can I go about writing this service?Your assistance will be very much appreciated. Thank you.

Dear All,   This question has passed before, but is there any connectivity solution between OPC Alarms & Events and ThingWorx 8.5 or 9.x in the meantime? We need some alarms from our devices and would save a lot of work if we were able to use OPC AE.   Or maybe somebody has created a workaround?   Kind regards,   Rutger

H0w to solve the problem of import tags that appear notifications like this on kepware with OPC DA Client?

from the thingworx docker build, the scripttimeout was set to 30 in the generated platform-settings.json. I had combed through all references and "full" list I could find, but none of them mentioned the env key name for scripttimeout. I had done a blind test with "SCRIPTTIMEOUT=1220" in the docker compose yaml file, but it didn't work, just got ignored.

Hello. When i enable zoom in the Line chart, the "Reset" button shows up by default. is there a way to not have the reset button and use an external button for resetting the zoom? 

I exported datatables separately from one server using (to file, single data, datatables option) and import in another server using (from file, data, file repository, browse) to get the values in it. Once import is successful, not able to reimport the same file again any servers. .import file also not present. then what is the reason for this skipping import while reusing same file. If i exported again, then that file is importing successfully for only one time. How to reuse the file?

Hi,I am looking at the documentation of ThingWorx docker deployment and saw that ThingWorx Connection Server docker is mentioned in HA environment section. Can't we deploy CS docker in Non HA environment as we do in VM based deployments? Thanks,VK

Hi Community, This error occurs when I save the service, and then the Thing cannot create a new service again. How can I solve this problem, thank you！  

Hi Team,   Suppose, my service is returning 1 String field and 2 Integer fields. The string field will take the X-axis but want to show only 1 series in Y axis out of those two integer fields.   How to achieve this behaviour as there is no flexibility to select Y axis field in properties.   The All data is binded to Data property of Bar chart widget. Thingworx version is 9.0   Please help. Thanks in advance.

Hello, I created a custom widget in order to integrate the OvenMedia WebRTC player (https://airensoft.gitbook.io/ovenplayer/). I included the Third part javascript and the player is starting on my local computer but not in the production environment. What could be the problem & how can I analyze this? Development environment: Thingworx 9.1.0-b10877Production environment: Thinworx 9.2.5-b308 The code to import the ovenmedia js and start the player is the following one:this.renderHtml = function () {$("body").append('<script type="text/javascript" src="../Common/extensions/OvenPlayer/ui/OvenPlayer/include/ovenplayer.js"></script>');var html = '<div class="player-wrapper"><div id="player_id"></div><div id="player_label">TEST</div></div>';return html;};this.afterRender = function () {document.getElementById("player_label").innerHTML = "DEBUG1.3";OvenPlayer.debug(true);document.getElementById("player_label").innerH

Scenario:Single mashup with multiple line charts, all with timestamp on the x-axis.I am looking for the user experience where I drag-zoom on one chart and have the other charts zoom to the same range.  Basically, selecting a range for the x-axis for the entire mashup via a drag-zoom on a single widget.Anybody know of a way to accomplish this task? -Thanks

Hi all, I have a STRING field, using which I have to generate a QR Code that has to be printed later.Is there any way to generate a QR Code in Thingworx 9.2.3 Thanks in advance,Sujith

A lot of times the widgets are limited in capability, and we have to resort to Custom CSS. I've recently read an article which gives a ridiculous Custom CSS solution that no developer could've got to by themselves:   #runtime-workspace .test.widget-flexcontainer-bounding-box.allow-content-resize { flex: 1 0 auto !important; } Is there no chance that we could have a PTC tutorial with how to achieve Custom CSS editing through Dev Tools? All official resources I've come across are very flimsy.   Thanks.

Hi All, First post on the forum. I was wondering if anyone could provide guidance on setting up Thingworx HA with a VMware Load balancer, similar to the Azure guide I found in the IoT Tips section. I've used the following guide to date, which references a HAProxy config.Load Balancers for ThingWorx High Availability (ptc.com) What i'm finding is that I get SSO timeouts when navigating to the URL but only when the two Thingworx nodes are online during my testing. When reviewing the connected users I see multiple sessions for my name, each time I refresh the SSO error I get a new session. I understand through talking to PTC Tech support that this is a Load Balancer Persistence (Sticky Sessions) issue. Tech support call raised with PTC and VMware to resolve, but if anyone has seen this before i'd be grateful to hear how you resolved it. Thingworx HA Setup Version 9.3Ping Federate (9.3.3) CAS / SP = ADFSThingworx Foundation x2Connection Servers
