Hi, I have below lua script which is calling external REST API.   local https = require("ssl.https")local one, code, headers, status = https.request{method = "POST",url = "https://<ip>:<port>/<service_path>"headers = {["Content-Type"] = "application/json"}}   This script is working fine independently.   Now I want to integrate with the edge device on EMS. This script should be executed by the remote service defined on edge device in template file of lua resource in EMS.   I tried integrating the script in the lua files of thingworx. But, whenever I add the very first line "local https = require("ssl.https")", remote properties and services are not visible on Thingworx remote thing.   Can anyone guide me how to do the integration of above script in the lua service definition in template files OR is there any other way to call the external REST

ThingWorx DevOps with Jenkins DevOps as a topic is vast and has been addressed at many times throughout the history of the PTC Community. Previous posts address what DevOps is, teach how to make use of DevOps like a pro,  announce updates to the PTC Git Extension, and explain why this extension is so helpful to achieving continuous Git integration with ThingWorx.   This post provides a PDF guide on Jenkins integration with ThingWorx, including tutorials with detailed information on how to setup your ThingWorx instance and how to configure your Jenkins Pipeline. The PDF is listed for download separately, but it is also included in the zip with the other required files for the tutorial. The Jenkins Pipeline provided here is intended as an example / starting point for managing your DevOps in ThingWorx and can easily be extended. Please note that this Pipeline is not officially supported by PTC.

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

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
