Hello, I have an issue with an advanced grid (V4.2.1) where it does not render my last column.  It is fed by a service with output type <Infotable> but no datashape defined. The service executes fine and I can see all the columns in composer. As well, I have a configuration service output <string>, result fed to the configuration binding of this widget. Everything was working well with V4.0.1 but it is deprecated and I cannot get it to render properly with the new version.   I am using TWX 8.5.3, attached pic for reference. Any ideas?

Hi, I am running prescriptive analysis with the same input data. But I am getting different optimized result but within a specific range. why it is happening?   Regards Shyam   Re:  post

Hi,   Advanced grid widget headers disappear when double clicked on the header and appears back when reloaded. Is it possible to make it not disappear on double click?   Thanks in advance, Sadagopan PSSKP

I recently spent some time checking how different stuff can be done in Thingworx and the Elasticsearch integration was one of the mini-projects. It turned out to be somewhat standalone and completed, so sharing it here in case someone would find somehting interesting from it.This project is an MVP / PoC enabling indexing of documents (in common formats like PDF, Word / Excel / PowerPoint, TXT) stored in ThingWorx repositories with the help of Elasticsearch and then performing full text searches against the documents' content from ThingWorx (mashups or services). The project is simple and small and only consists of 4 entities, 2 of which are there only for demo purposes.The implemented functionality only covers the main use case - performing full-text search. Advanced stuff, flexibility and additional features are to be implemented depending on the requirements of the particular project and intended use cases.See the accompanying readme and video for the installation steps and the demo

Hi All,We'd like to access files in repository folder of ThingA from another things which are in the same project like ThingB. Can we do that ?    

Hi! I'm wondering if there're some ways to show relationship between Mashup and Thing services? Typically, a Mashup will bind some Thing Services and internal Expressions/Validations, the relationship is quite complicated and working in different level. So I'm wondering if there're some ways to show relationship, or extract data from .xml source code and show it in diagram? It will be very very helpful to design review and documentation. Thank you very much!

I have the same issue. This ServiceableTS was never created in this course. How should i create this ThingShape?

Hi,  I'm working on integrating ThingWorx 9.1 with a 3rd party IdP product (not microsoft active directory and azure).  In this case , I could use PingFederate as Service Provider to the IdP and use SAML authentication to get the user info according to the help document.    However ,  the IdP product seems only support OAuth2.0 and PingFederate as SP doesn't support OAuth2.0 (see the attached picture).    So, what's the official solution for the case to enabling SSO ?    Is it feasible to create a  customized authenticator which communicates with IdP via OAuth2.0 to authenticate user and get user info ?   The customer use Flow as well and ThingWorx servers are deployed in cluster mode ,  will this situation affect the customized authenticator ?    Regards, Sean      

Hi All,   We wanted to pass parameters to our application which is rendering in an iFrame of external application (build on angular). We wanted to utilize window.postMessage() API as part of iFrame contract where we can send information from external application to thingworx app.     Is it possible ?    Thanks and regards, Vishal Vaidya

Hello,   I would like to know if it is possible to measure the Internet data consumption of my KEPWARE to communicate with the Azure cloud.   I have a customer who does not provide his local Internet for KEPWARE operation (because of data security).   To make the sale of the project viable I gave the idea of using a mobile internet (3G / 4G) but I need to measure how much internet I will consume to buy the best data package.   If I can measure how much a TAG consumes on the internet I can multiply it by the total TAGs I have and get an idea of the total consumption.   Is there any way to know this?   My environment:   KEPServerEX 6.9 consumes data from a ControlLogix PLC (Rockwell Automation) and makes this data available to the Thingworx platform (version 8.5) installed on an Azure cloud.

Hi, I Have created an organization tree as shown in the attached image.And also created different groups and assigned it for each branches. Most of the branches have different Homepage, for example here  machines and Line Supervisors both have different Homepages. My requirement is,When a user from groups assigned to 'Machines' login, he should see Machines Homepage. The same goes with 'Line Supervisor', when a user from that group login he should be able to see the Line Supervisor login page. The organization tree only have option to add Home mashup at the 'Company_Name' level and at the individual user level(not to a group). If i am login with url: .../Thingworx/FormLogin/Company_Name . It will show the common home page assigned to 'Company_Name', which is incorrect. How do i resolve this Problem?     Thanks, Sri1

What is the best practice for setting the shifts to shift Schedules. I created 1 shift schedule for 24hr shift 00:00 to 24:00 and the kpi calculation updates at the time interval currently set to 15 minutes. But when I used the shift schedule for 2 split shift 07:00 - 15:00 and 15:00 to 23:00 the calculation  stopped working at 14:59 I checked the kpi cache and get time last  updated at 14:59.07

Hi, I am seeing that in Scheduler we can assign a user in RUN AS USER field in General Information entity. I have a Doubt that will it be Runnable for All users in a Group if we keep Run as user (only one user)? because it allows only one user to add.     Thanks

Greetings.I need to create a thing via a service (which will be called from a mashup) to create a thing, which will then be displayed on the Manufacturing Apps.I've read this document and a few forum topics, which say that I must set the displayName property to something in order for the thing/asset to be visualized in the ManApps screen.Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be working. I've tried creating things with my company's custom thing template (which is based on the PTC.ISA95.PhysicalAssetThingTemplate) and even with the  PTC.ISA95.PhysicalAssetThingTemplate template itself, but it didn't solve my issues and I'm still unable to see the asset on the ManApps.Thank you for your time.

Hi everyone!   Today I was trying MfgApps Import/Export functionality and found out that importing the same file that was exported (no modification) makes the import process to skip almost all the rows from the properties tab. Viewing the logs:     Import Validation Process: [Properties Tab] [Equipment Name: Asset_LocallyBoundAsset][Name: statusTimestamp] Invalid reason: Changing Base Type is not supported     but I haven't changed anything to the file.   The expected behavior is that all 159 be marked as valid (instead of 7 valid, and 152 invalid).   Stack: ThingWorx 8.5.5-b103 ThingWorx-Apps-8.5.2-00-extension Regards, Nahuel

Hi All,   I am building a mashup in Thingworx 9.0  where I have to display status of machine i.e. either running or stopped. I am getting that status via a service which I have binded to a data shape. Requirement is to show status of machine in green if machine is running and red if machine is stopped. I used value display to show the value status and in background I placed a shape whose colour will change as per status of machine. I have binded data of service to shape, but i am not able to find exact state formatting to achieve this result. Currently i have configured ALERT TYPE(as shown in attached image). Kindly suggest how to achieve this. I have attached an image showing the objective that needs to be achieved.

Hi, In the state definitions, when mentioning a forward slash (/), it automatically converts it to (\2f).How can this be resolved? I wanted to mention the string as 'Idle/Stop'   Thanks in advance, Shalini V.

In above code I m trying to get members of suborganization but at the end I should get 4 records but instead of that I m getting on 1 record and in "Script log" I m getting debugger response as  "com.thingworx.types.InfoTable@9e681c4f" for all my 4 response. Please help to solve this Thanks!

Hi Team,   Could anybody let me know how to check using script whether any property exist in any thing or not. Please share the logic   Thanks in advance.
