This might be a well-known topic for some, but I recently had a need that Event Routers fit into perfectly and wanted to share. If you have some neat applications for Event Routers on mashups, feel free to reply!   What? Event Routers are a function on Mashups that let you connect multiple inputs to a single output. For my use case, this was extremely helpful to let me have two different Service Outputs go to the same Widget. They are a really simple tool that can save a lot of headache.   How? Event Routers work by funneling the latest data through to a single output. This is particularly useful for  user-activated actions with the output tied to a widget or another service. The Event Router automatically activates when any one of the Inputs changes.   Example I have two services that generate HTML from different sources, but I want to display just the latest one that the user had activated in a single HTML Text Area widget. The two different services are activated

Hello Everyone,   We have DMG Mori machine it streams data with MTConnect 1.3.0.17 we can reach it from browser. We add it KepserverEx and open Quick Client it gaves that error down below.

Hi All,   Im having issue to schedule a service that will able to pull data from WRS odata windchill. While if im schedule postfress query it is working find. Please help me on this issue.

The Auto-refresh function in Mashups 1, 2, 3, and 4 works as expected, but once those mashups are included in the main mashup using the mashup containers the auto-refresh function configured for the main mashup doesn't update the states shown in each mashup.   I found some information related in the following links   Auto-refresh function not triggered in Mashup with Master, Contained Mashup or Mashup displayed as popup in Thingworx: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS338447   https://community.ptc.com/t5/ThingWorx-Developers/Refresh-contained-mashup-in-thingworx-9-1/m-p/710935#M50376   I implemented the approach suggested by @c_lowy using the legacy Auto-Refresh widget instead of the function. It works but only if the contained mashup occurs in only one level.   I made a test with this approach but to get each mashup updated in the main mashup the system is sending a lot of requests to the server.  I worried about the possible bad effects that this

Hello all,   I have a question about Influx DB Enterprise. The documentation clearly says it supports Influx DB Enterprise as a persistence provider. However, it doesn't mention anything when Influx DB Enterprise is deployed in cloud instead of a local environment. I was wondering if it will support if I try to connect ThingWorx 9.1 to an Influx DB Enterprise cluster deployed in Azure.    Thanks

i have a mashup (everything is set to responsive insede it) that has a pareto chart inside it and when i click "view mashup" everything looks fine. When i place this mashup inside a master (also everything is responsive in there) only the pareto chart doesn't scale in it. I tried with other widgets, like line chart and bar chart and they are working fine. I'm uploading some screenshots.

Hi Team,   I am having ThingWorx 9.1 version but I am not able to locate Progress Gauge widget OOB in this version.   Do we need to import Progress Gauge from marketplace?   Please advise.    

Hey there!   I wanted to share a problem and resolution I faced in case it helps anybody with a similar issue. Let me know your thoughts!   UPDATE: Following @jgreiner suggestion I updated the ThingWorx Analytics version.   Reproduced in  ThingWorx 9.1.0-b10877 ThingWorx Analytics Server 9.1.0-r4   Description xxx-AnalyticsServer_PredictionThing Thing disconnected. Applies to any Analytics microserver.   Cause ThingWorx executed a Job update at night. When updated, it deleted all xxx_Analytics_xxxThings Things. Except for one, the xxx-AnalyticsServer_PredictionThing Thing.

All - We run Thingworx mashups as "dashboards" around our facilities quite frequently.  What this basically means is that we have large flat screens mounted showing data that is pulled into Thingworx from various sources on a Thingworx mashups/webpage.  We are embedding application keys in the URL to work around any sort of user having to login.  The users just have to open a URL shortcut, or it's automatically launched when the device boots up. I understand this isn't best practice, but it works well for us and these app key accounts are very locked down.   One issue we've unable to overcome is that when the Thingworx server is restarted, or if just Tomcat is restarted, the browser client gets briefly disconnected and then it shows it's default login prompt. In our case we primarily use Chrome, so after a restart, all our users see is this:     The resolution is fairly simple, just close and re-open the browser shortcut, but in some cases, the devices ru

Hi, I have two menus and a mashup container, I want the two menus to show their respective mashup links in the same mashup container, what is the best way to do it?

Datasets with ordinal or categorical goal cannot currently be used in ThingWorx Analytics Builder. However this is only a UI limitation, ThingWorx Analytics Server can handle those data. It does simply require to use the services from the AnalyticsServer-Training and AnalyticsServer-Prediction things to perform the operations.   This can be done using a mashup or via Rest API call (see https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article?n=CS271485 ) . The below video expands on the mashup solution. Attached are also the entities used during the video and a sample dataset with ordinal goal.     Update for ThingWorx 9.0  The API has changed in 9.0, use the entities Entities-90-3Jun2020.xml for release 9.0  

Hi!   I'm working with ThingWorx Edge ADO Service and connecting to Excel-spreadsheet from which I'm getting information. The problem is that while I'm working with a mashup that uses this service, the spreadsheet, when I try to open it, says: "is locked for editing by 'another user'". Accordingly, I can't update the data in this spreadsheet so that it's immediately displayed in the mashup. Every time I have to stop the Windows service corresponding to the ThingWorx Edge ADO Service, and only then make changes to the spreadsheet and start the service again.   Is there any solution to solve this problem?

We have given the query Alert Summary service from Alert Functions to a table. The alert getting displayed has the timestamp as future date i.e., one day higher that the current date.

I'm training Models through the UI and the API and I'm getting slightly different results each time, even when the parameters are the same the results are not replicable. In particular I'm training a logistic regression, an algorithm that should be deterministic, I'm also setting the training data to 100% and 0% for validation so there should no be an effected of the sampling there. Is there an option to set a seed or any other mechanist to get the exact same result each time? 

Hello, I might just be missing something obvious but I am trying to change the alignment of the headers on an Advanced grid. The version of Thingworx I am using is 8.5.3 and I was able to change the text alignment of the data with this custom css:.myAdvancedGridClass .objbox table tbody tr td{text-align: center !important;}but I also want to change the alignment of the headings to match. Any help or insight is greatly appreciated. I was looking at the documentation for Thingworx 8 and I saw that header and cell text alignment is a feature so I might just not be seeing where I can change that.
