Hello PTC community   i hope you are doing well. I have a question regarding the automatic generation of gadgets and widgets. E.g. In my mashup I am showing motor values from different motors from different machines. Machine 1 has 5 motors and machine 2 has 10 motors for example. Through a dropdown widget I want to choose the machine and according to that my mashup should show now a different number of motor widgets/gadgets.  See attached image.   How can I achieve this functionality? Thanks in advance.

Hi, we updated our Thingworx Instance from 8.4 to 8.5.2 and Manufacturing Apps to 8.5.1. After this update we experienced an error that our Assets after a reimport are not showing up in the Asset Advisor.   State after Update from 8.4 to 8.5.2: - 5x Assets in Asset Advisor visible   What did we do: - Delete asset / extension in Composer - Reimport asset via custom extension (ZIP File) - Import successfully -> asset visible in Compose - Asset not more visible in Asset Advisor / Manufacturing Apps   Workaround to get Assets visible again: - Create a new asset with the same name in "configuration and setup" in manufacturing apps - Reimport the same Extension (contains Assets) and overwrite new asset - Now the assets are again visible in Asset Advisor   Questions: - Is there a fix for this problem, without the workaround? - How do I deploy assets to different thingworx instances without the above error?

Hi Team,   The Y axis of line chart in ThingWorx 9.2 is not auto-scaling even Y axis maximum is set on Auto.   The use case is that we need to autoscale the y axis as per the referenceline1value property of line chart. Actually when the value of reference line is either less than or greater than the values displaying on Y-axis of graph then it is not visible as the Y-axis is not auto-scaling with respect to the referenceline1value property.   Thanks in advance.

So I was following the tutorial steps about how to connect kepware server to thingworx foundation.Here is the link: https://developer.thingworx.com/en/resources/learning-paths/connect-and-monitor-plant-equipment/connect-kepware-server-thingworx-guide/visualize-data. When I reached this last part of step 6: Visualise the data, I opened the view mashup in thingworx and this appeared. (the following image). It's empty and did not display any data and I have already confirmed the test connection to IndConn as they mentioned  Can someone help me out please?

HiInstalled KepServerEX on the Azure VM, and KepServerEX is by default configured with an opc ua Configuration on local host, can this OPC UA Configuration of the KepServerEX can be Connected with the OPC UA Client Connectors ? @paic @slangley @c_lowy  Thanks,Shashi.

Hey guys!This is my first time posting something but now I'm getting an error that I've never had (It has worked before). Once I create a master mashup, configure my menu and identify the mashups related to this menu and the master mashup, I try to see the functionality, but I only get a grey screen. When looking at the log, I get a "null" value for the mashup I try to see (log.png). Do you know why I get this message? Thanks for your help!

I have server PC where I have installed Thingworx and Kepware. I have a doubt if internet access is required for the data flow from Kepware to Thingworx.

ThingWorx DevOps with Azure: The Comprehensive DevOps GuideWritten by Tori Firewind, IoT EDC As promised in a previous post,  attached here is a comprehensive guide to DevOps in ThingWorx, including tutorials and instructions for creating a continuous integration, continuous deployment (CI/CD) process for application development.  There are also updated scripts and entities attached, including an entire sample application for importing, exporting, and testing an application in ThingWorx. From Docker and Github to Azure DevOps and Solution Central, this guide has it all. Learn how to perform your role in the DevOps process whether an administrator or a developer, automate your deployments and testing, and create a more efficient process  for publication changes to production.  A complete DevOps process like this really does facilitate faster and easier updates with fewer risks, fewer delays, and a better pathway to success. 

In a recent post, I gave an overview of the types of Building Blocks that are available with the ThingWorx Platform. As a reminder, Building Blocks are a collection of entities packaged together for modular software development. They are intended to be reusable, repeatable, and scalable, and they are the fastest way to either build your own solution or customize a pre-made PTC solution, like ThingWorx Digital Performance Management. There are four types of Building Blocks we will talk about for the development of IIoT applications and solutions on the ThingWorx platform: Connectors, Domain Models, Business Logic, and UI. In this post, we are going to do a deep dive on Connectors, which improve application performance and the transfer of data from disparate devices and systems. What does a Connector look like in ThingWorx?All ThingWorx Building Blocks follow the same naming convention of CompanyName.BuildingBlockName, so any PTC-created Connectors will appear as PTC.Connector.
