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

HI,  I am trying to implement live cctv stream in twx mashup using video player or webframe widget. But my cctv media server is restricted and that server functions internally and twx is deployed on aws. And our clients will be using the web browsers at various locations in different countries. My idea is like whitelisting Twx server ip on my media server so twx can access feeds, we can provide it as URL's so I can use it in widgets.   My doubt is whitelisting twx is enough for this implementation ?? , I don't know about the actual widget functionality .. whether twx will call those links or it will be called from clients ip ?    suggest best implementation idea's 🙂 Thanks in advance !! 

Even if we created a mashup template, how to assign it to every mashup?? What is the use of mashup template entity?

Dear community,   I tried to use the PDF Extension as this functionality is exactly what my key user is asking for. Unfortunately it is not working well for me, please refer to the attached files:- TimeReport_20210127_4.pdf is the output of the CreatePDF function- TimeReport_20210127.png is an actual screenshot   As you can see the box is printing well but the chart and the grid are missing. Perhaps important is that both elements are Extensions, the Grid is the Grid-Advanced and the Time Series Chart is a fork of myself from the Time Series Chart of originally Thingworx 8.3.   What I have tried so far: Tested every option in CreatePdf: Rotated90Deg true/false Resolution different up to 1920*1080 DebugUsefontconfig true/false ScreenshotDelaySecond up to 30s (which should not be necessary because the printed numbers are correct) Assigned Admin privileges to the AppKey (even though a regular user also has all necessary permissions, tested and verified) I am very certa

Hello,   I want to embed in another website a mashup as iframe. I have done the configuration like explained in the help : https://support.ptc.com/help/thingworx/platform/r9/en/index.html#page/ThingWorx%2FHelp%2FComposer%2FSecurity%2FAllowingEmbeddedMashupsiniFrames.html In the filter "ClickjackFilterWhiteList", I have added domain : http://aa.bb.fr But it's not working...   With Postman, when I do a get on my url: http://xxx/Thingworx/Mashups/TEST_VIEW?appKey=xxx&x-thingworx-session=true I can see the headers: Content-Security-Policy : frame-src http://aa.bb.fr Content-Security-Policy : frame-ancestors http://aa.bb.fr X-Frame-Options : ALLOW-FROM http://aa.bb.fr So, I guess my config in web.xml is ok.   In the browser, when I enter my url : http://xxx/Thingworx/Mashups/TEST_VIEW?appKey=xxx&x-thingworx-session=true The page load but is redirect to url : http://xxx/Thingworx/Runtime/index.html#mashup=TEST_VIEW&appKey=xxx&x-thingworx-session=true

We have an IIoT application built on Thingworx and Kepserver monitoring hundreds of machines in a manufacturing setting and corresponding Kepserver Ping Drivers to monitor their power on states. We're currently running Thingworx 8.5.6-b110 and KEPServerEX 6.10 and we are encountering issues with properties of Industrial Things that extend the PTC.Factory.DeviceThingTemplate stopping communication with their bound tags in Kepserver, despite the Thing reporting being connected.   Typical solutions have been to execute the RestartThing service on the affected Things. Occasionally, rebinding a single property fixes all of them when RestartThing does not work.   Has anyone else encountered this behavior? Any troubleshooting steps or tips we should be taking?   One other thing to note, when we restart Thingworx, all of the Industrial Things start in a disconnected state. So we have a service that is periodically triggered by a timer that will find disconnected Things
