Hi,  I have a property under a MQTT Thing that is subscribed to a broker topic and is bound to a data change event in a subscription. However, I find that the event is only fired when I manually change the property value versus when it changes using MQTT.  Thanks!

Hi ,   I am trying to call myLabelClass from the custom css in the property of the label. But there is not success in this.could someone help me out with this.    

In my mashup, I have added two tags, one for displaying current speed of conveyor using the gauge and other for setting the speed manually using a numeric entry. The issue is how can I reflect the change in my current conveyor speed, when a particular speed is entered using the numeric entry.Check the heading global tags 6-> OPC_Set_Conveyor_Speed and OPC_Current_Conveyor_Speed

Good afternoon.   Could you give me a hand with the following doubt?   I have been working with property transformations in Thingworx Platform Analytics. I have an Azure VM with the following hardware configuration: I have installed the following components successfully:   + TWX 9.x+ Analytics Server+ Platform Analytics+ Vuforia Experience Service+ Vuforia Studio+ Kepware   Using a dataset I emulated a remote device with a Pressure signal. I used a timer to stream the pressure signal each 1, 10, 50, and 100 ms.   The pressure signal has the following form:   I created three property transformations from the original pressure signal and all worked as expected:   But sadly, my virtual machine performance drops worryingly when the process is running:     This is only a simple test with three property transformations. Does any parametrization or any insight about the sizing of the server be to support a real industrial application that uses

Hi @slangley ,   Thanks for the information. I have another question. I had developed mashups using TWX 8.4 and when I migrated to TWX 8.5 saw the message that some of the widgets will be deprecated. I now want to migrate the same mashups to 9.0 in Azure as 8.4 version is no longer supported. Please let me know if it would be backward compatible with Version 9.0.(i.e. whether 8.4 widgets on mashups will work fine on 9.0 without any changes)   Regards Koushal

  My thingworx server(deployed in a virtual machine in Azure) become very slow suddenly because Thingworx apace tomcat high CPU Usage (until 100% in VM). This issue happens several times before and could be solved by restart the Thingworx tomcat services, but until now I didn't know the main reason why this issue happens. I have check thingworx application log, script log until the apache tomcat log but I'm still not found anything about the reason why the CPU suddenly increased. The CPU usage increased even when there is no user log in at that time (if user log in should be appeared in script log because of the logger that I put on the services). I don't have any subscription/scheduler/timer except for one scheduler that will be excecute daily at 00.00 AM, and the issue could happen any time, some time at 5PM, 6AM etc. the period of this issue id also random, sometime it happen 12 days, 7days, 20 days after I restart the Thingworx Apache tomcat.    Below was some detail

Is it possible to find the length of the string. If it is possible let me know how.

Does restarting system will restart tomcat also.

Approximately how many input parameters we can create for one service?   I have created 200 input parameters for service and passing inputs from 200 text box widgets. While triggering service it receive all 200 input parameters simultaneously (or) one by one.?

Hi Team,   Unable to understand how to pass values infotable as an input to AddStreamEntries and use in our custom service.   Can anybody help me how to use this service in our custom logic?   ThingWorx version is 9.0.   Thanks in advance.

Hi All, I want to export the infotable result in pdf format. How we can do it in Thingworx.  Is there any extension already written for this by anyone. If yes, kindly please share it. Thanks  

ThingWorx Docker Overview and Pitfalls to Avoid    by Tori Firewind of the IoT EDC Containers are isolated and can run side-by-side on the same machine, but they share the host OS, making them more efficient in terms of memory usage and scalability.   Docker is a great tool for deploying ThingWorx instances because everything is pre-packaged within the Docker image and can be stored in a repository ready for deployment at any time with little configuration required.  By using a different container for every component of an application, conflicting dependencies can be avoided. Containers also facilitate the dev ops process, providing consistent application deployments which can be set up, taken down, and tested automatically using scripts.   Using containers is advantageous for many reasons: simplified configuration, easier dev ops management, continuous integration and deployment, cost savings, decreased delivery time for new application versions, and many ver

Hi,   I have an HTML piece of code (for the runtime of the custom widget) that works using the widget property value. Currently, when I hard code the property value of the widget within the mashup it is working as required but when I bind the output of a service to the property value of the widget, it is not working. Is there a way for me re-render the HTML once the property value is updated from the service? The service is called on mashup loaded.   Thanks in Advance

Hello,   Is there anyway we can utilize StyleTheme Entity Services, in ThingWorx Extension Project. We can define and use a parameter for Infotable, Thing, ThingTemplate/Shape etc.But nothing from the Visualization group.   I want to utilize the StyleTheme to be able to pick the style properties, like the Font Name size and colors in the extension.   NOTE: This not about a Widget Extension       Thanks in advance.   Regards, Bhushan

Hi Folks,   Is there any out of the box Automated testing for Thingworx UI/ Mashup?  As far as I know there is no such OOTB feature but wanted to confirm if PTC has come up with this feature lately.   Also, please suggest some solution in case need to develop custom automated testing of Thingworx UI. may be using other applications like selenium, cucumber, etc. Note: I have 40+ mashups application, so can't accommodate any complex customization as its going to take lot of effort.   Thanks in advance.

On Mashup, i am showing a timestamp. On hovering the timstamp in windows 10 it shows Coordinated Universal Time where as on Windows 7 it shows Greenwich Mean Time. ( Chrome Browser TimeZone is Coordinated Universal Time).        

Hi All,     I am planning to host Thingworx Foundation 8.4 version on Azure VM. As per the System Requirements of Thingworx 8.4, we need 4 cores, Memory 16 GB & Disk Space 100GB. These configuration are also available in B-Series and D-series as well.    Can I use B4ms and D4s_v3 Series for hosting Thingworx 8.4? Is there any foreseen issues with these series? Kindly let me know.

JMeter for ThingWorx Overview Apache JMeter is an open-source tool designed for load testing and measuring the performance of a web application. JMeter has a wide range of features to facilitate this testing, including support for a variety of server and protocol types, a full-featured testing IDE with the ability to record the test steps from both a browser or a native application, and built-in debugging tools. Information about JMeter can be found on Apache’s website.   Working with JMeter is not always intuitive, but it also isn’t that much harder than regular software development. Take some time to explore the official Apache JMeter Documentation and figure out where things go and how to mechanically make use of the JMeter IDE. Then step through this tutorial to create a basic test that logins to ThingWorx, accesses a mashup, and clicks on a few widgets. This is the first in a series to come, courtesy of IoT EDC Engineer Tim Atwood ( @atwood ) and the whole EDC team. &nb
