IoT & Connectivity

Hi guys,   Our company deployed a Thingworx platform, and provided with some dev accounts, but when I tested using REST API to create a new thing, I received unauthorized error. I could create a thing using browser GUI.   Here is request http://171.244.133.226:8080/Thingworx/Resources/EntityServices/Services/CreateThing?appKey=0e065a1a-4a01-411c-9dcc-9cd457a666a2&name=thingvht1&thingTemplateName=GenericThing   Any help is highly appreciated ?

when I delete service, I accidentally deleted something. Is there a way to get it back? Is there a good way to control the code？ Thank you

I was curious if there's any way to convert base64 images to another format like .jpg, .png, or .tif when saving them in a Thingworx file repository.  I'm working on an application where users are capturing base64 images using a Vuforia experience and I would like the ability to email a zip folder containing these images in any of the formats listed above to the user.  Could anyone point me in the right direction on this?

Hi,  We'll have a new project built on ThingWorx 9 and starting to install the testing system.  I guess ThingWorx 9.1.1 will release in next a few days,  so I'm going to wait for this version and install this version instead 9.1.0.    Does anyone knows when ThingWorx 9.1.1 will ready for download ?    Regards, Sean

How to Scale Vertically and Horizontally, and When to Use Sharding Written by Mike Jasperson, VP of IOT EDC   Deployment architecture describes the way in which an IOT application is deployed, or where each of the components are hosted on the network. There are deployment architecture considerations to make when scaling up an application. Each approach to deployment expansion can be described by the “eggs in a basket” analogy: vertical scale is like one person carrying a bigger basket, horizontal scale is like one person carrying more baskets, and sharding is like more than one person carrying the baskets (see below).   All of these approaches result in the eggs getting from point A to point B (they all satisfy the use case), but the simplest (vertical scale) is not necessarily the best. Sure, it makes sense on paper for one person to carry everything in one big basket, but that doesn’t ensure that all of the eggs arrive intact. Selecting the right deployment architecture i

Hi everyone,  I don't get whats wrong here! I created two MQTT-Things and configurated them to the same Server, (test.mosquitto.org). I made the same steps for each thing, but one is connected and one not. I created them last Friday and it works and today I always get these Errors: "Fischertechnik_DaFe_SU is not enabled" I attached the two things, maybe it is a problem with my thingworx server?  Fischertechnik_DaFe_Order: works and is connectedFischertechnik_DaFe_SU: doesn't connect anymore since todayThanks for any kind of help!

Hello there, I have a time series like this: This is the result of a QueryPropertyHistory call for Test property of a thing.   Is there any way to group by a specifying time frame such like hourly or daily and ask to have the AVG value of "Test" column ? I saw that in the Aggregate function you can specify the column for which aggregate data, but you can't make any operation on the data contained in that column, such like truncate the datetime value to have an hourly or daily based aggregation.   Thanks, Paolo

Has anybody been successful using the ContentLoader functions in TWx 9.0 Extension SDK?  I've been following this example and this javadoc but I keep getting a null pointer exception.  Just to test my sanity, I used the same url, header, and content information inside a Composer service and I was successful.  I've attached the stack trace and the code I'm using is:   public Boolean myService() throws Exception { Boolean verify = false; ContentLoader verifyCheck = new ContentLoader(); String url = "https://postman-echo.com/post"; JSONObject content = new JSONObject("{\"meta\":{\"key\": \"" + "abc" + "\"}}"); String username = null; String password = null; JSONObject headers = null; Boolean ignoreSSLErrors = null; Boolean withCookies = null; Double timeout = null; Boolean useNTLM = null; String workstation = null; String domain = null; Boolean useProxy = null; String proxyHost = null; Integer proxyPort = null; String proxySchem

Good day Team,   I am curious if ThingWorx has any extension in order to get the factory model from FiiX software. Or another way around?   Thank you!

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!

Hi Team,   I was using TWX 8.3 version earlier which was having below snippet:-   var params = {thingName: thingName /* STRING */}; // result: BOOLEANvar result = Resources["PTC.Factory.CommonUtilities"].DoesThingExists(params);   But in ThingWorx 9.1, PTC.Factory.CommonUtilities is not available.   How would I run my code now?   Please provide snippet for ThingWorx 9.1 for checking the existence of Thing in the composer.   Thanks in advance.

Greetings,as per title, I am unable to connect a Kepware server to a cloud instance of TWx. I've been able to connect multiple other servers, so the issue must be on this machine.I configured the Project->Thingworx tab like I always do, after creating an industrial connection via ManApps and following the relative instructions, but I always get this error:   "Error ThingWorx Native Interface Connection to ThingWorx failed. | Platform = danieli-dev.cloud.thingworx.com:443/Thingworx/WS, error = could not establish a websocket connection."   I've tried disabling encryption and using the 8080 port, which results in this error:   "Connection to ThingWorx failed. | Platform = danieli-dev.cloud.thingworx.com:8080/Thingworx/WS, error = could not initialize a secure socket connection."   The machine which is running Kepware is still running Windows 7 and in order to install and run Kewpare I had to follow this article (CS321323) to install the required certificates,
