Hi team,   I am trying to work on a large infotable. Which will be faster to filter the data Query or EQFilter?   filtered_table = Resources["InfoTableFunctions"].Query({t: large_infotable/* INFOTABLE */,query: {"filters": {"type": "EQ","fieldName": "field","value": somevale,}},});     Resources["InfoTableFunctions"].EQFilter({fieldName: "fieldname" /* STRING */ ,isCaseSensitive: undefined /* BOOLEAN */ ,t: large_infotable/* INFOTABLE */ ,value: somevalue /* STRING */});  

Hello! I am hoping someone can help me with an issue I am encountering. My company recently purchased a new MES system (Critical Manufacturing) and along with it we purchased Kepware in order to bridge the gap between machine and MES. Here is the scenario:   I have a machine with an Allen Bradley CompactLogix 5380 controller (5069-L320ERMS2/B) with firmware version 32.012 installed. I am using KEPServerEX to connect to the AB controller using OPC-UA protocol. I have a fully populated list of machine tags presented to me (around 34,000 tags in total) and I am able to view the real data on these tags when opening the OPC Quick Client to view them. I have successfully performed read operations on all of the relevant tags I need, so I know the communication is working in that direction - the issue is when I try to write data to the tags. I have boolean tags in the PLC that correlate to certain functions, such as counter resets. I have attemped both Synchronous Writes and Asynchronous

Dear community,   Thingworx does not support multiple inheritance of ThingTemplates. This alone is worth a feature request from my point of view but I doubt it would ever come and even if, I need it now.   I understand well that a Thing or ThingTemplate can use multiple ThingShapes, that's how it is designed. But there are situations where this is not enough. Here my example: I want to create a FileRepository Thing which exports data on a scheduled time. I need FileRepository and Scheduler, both available as ThingTemplate, not ThingShape.   Of course I can create two separate Things, the Scheduler Thing can call the FileRepository Services at trigger time but I consider this an ugly workaround and I wonder whether you can offer me better solutions.   Thank youBenny

Hello everyone,   I've been trying to invoke a service from a Stream, in order to retrieve data based on a DATETIME.   However, the only functions I see available retrieve the full Stream data. This is something I'd like to prevent since we are aiming to store millions of records on this stream.   Is there any way to query this data from the Stream with the out of the box solutions ThingWorx provides?   I'm using ThingWorx v9.0

Dear community,   I am uncertain about the capabilities of the data filter widget. The "ShowAdvancedOptions" flag lets me choose between "And" and "Or" but only on top level, no nested filters possible.   In this example I would like to query Timestamp greater than <date> AND (   EventId = 40 OR  EventId = 99 )   I know that this is possible using code but having this option also available for the widget would be very convenient.   If this is not possible, what is the best workaround?   Used version is 8.4.4 if that is important by any means.   Thank youBenny

Hi all, I was a little shocked that Thingworx 9.0 requires JDK 8U241 or higher. No alternative support for OpenJDK or Coretto is available. As a consequence every commercial user upgrading or installing Thingworx 9.0 is forced to purchase Oracle Java SE Subscription Licenses which might be quite expensive depending on the underlying architecture. Does anybody know about any plans to support Open JDK or Amazon Coretto in upcoming releases of Thingworx?

Hi Community,   I've recently had a number of questions from colleagues around architectures involving MQTT and what our preferred approach was.  After some internal verification, I wanted to share an aggregate of my findings with the ThingWorx Architect and Developer Community.   PTC currently supports four methods for integrating with MQTT for IoT projects. ThingWorx Azure IoT Hub Connector ThingWorx MQTT Extension ThingWorx Kepware Server Choice is nice, but it adds complexity and sometimes confusion.  The intent of this article is to clarify and provide direction on the subject to help others choose the path best suited for their situation.   ThingWorx MQTT Extension The ThingWorx MQTT extension has been available on the marketplace as an unsupported “PTC Labs” extension for a number of years.  Recently its status has been upgraded to “PTC Supported” and it has received some attention from R&D getting some bug fixes and security enhancements.&nbs

I've had a lot of questions over the years working with Azure IoT, Kepware, and ThingWorx that I really struggled getting answers to. I was always grateful when someone took the time to help me understand, and now it is time to repay the favour.   People ask me many things about Azure (in a ThingWorx context), and one of the common ones has been about MQTT communications from Kepware to ThingWorx using IoT Hub. Recently the topic has come up again as more and more of the ThingWorx expert community start to work with Azure IoT. Today, I took the time to build, test, validate, and share an approach and utilities to do this in cases where the Azure Industrial IoT OPC UA integration is overkill or simply a step later in the project plan. Enjoy!   End to end Integration of Kepware to ThingWorx using MQTT over Azure IoT (YoutTube 45 minute deep-dive)   ThingWorx entities for import (ThingWorx 9.0)   This approach can be quite good for a simple demo if you have a Kepware I

Im having problem making Query parameter for QueryInfoTablePropertyHistory  service used in mashup to populate advanced grid. I made service with query output and simple filter to give me only entries with Rack_ID  1                 This service output is linked to query parameter input of QueryInfoTablePropertyHistory. But this doesnt filter my data table. Using filter widget as query input I can get needed result.   Also service that gives me infotable result directly with this filtering works as well.   But I want to make query service to do this to see results in mashup grid.   Am I missing something?          

Hello,    The error state "Unable to connect, check your port". I am using the PTC Cloud trial version from developer portal. I have checked some alternatives for the error and I notice that my problem same with his. Unable to connect to the Thing Worx academic simulator - PTC Community But the problem still unsolved. Here I attached my error. I hope anyone can help me. Thanks.    

Hi   I am trying to setup an analytics server for my TWX platform, for which I am stuck on getting the UploadThing zip file to be installed on the server. Attached you will find the extracted Thingworx_Analytics_Extension files in which UploadThing.zip should also be present however it is missing. Workaround needed   Regards  

We are aware of using the application log or script log when error arises. But, sometimes it also happens like when you check the application log for an error, it again says to check the log, like check log for more details. We get quite confused at such points. It would be helpful if you could give any input on this.

Hi,  Sometimes the log, including the Application log and Script log,  doesn't tell which line the error occurs like the screenshot below :    How can I know where the problem is ?  (except print logs in the service to guess )         ThingWorx version : 8.5.5   Regards, Sean

Hello everyone,   I am trying to login through the Thingworx academic simulator using the URL, app key and port no. but I am getting an error : "Unable to connect, check your port"   The server URL is : https://pp-2004130945zw.devportal.ptc.io/Thingworx/Composer/index.html  I am only using pp-2004130945zw.devportal.ptc.io  from the above URL in Academic simulator. I have checked my Device ID as well as port no also properly. Port no - 443 since it is https I have tried modifying the port as 80 but no use. I have tried running TAS as administrator but no avail.   I have also made sure that my server is running by going to the server and launching it. Read many threads on the same error and tried everything. But still I am getting the same error.   I have tried downloading the desktop version of the Thingworx foundation also but the device configuration requirement is 16 GB whereas I have only 8 GB in my laptop. So, I could not install that. &

Hi ThingWorx Enthusiast,   Which service, resource to use to decrypt the property value which is encrypted using below snippet?   var params = { data: "<Some_Value>" /* STRING */ }; // result: STRING var result = Resources["EncryptionServices"].EncryptPropertyValue(params);   I didn't find relevant decrypt service under EncryptionServices resource and wonder how to get back the original value.   Thanks, Shirish

Hi all   i've the same problem 1. Anyone have the solution?   thank u all

Hi Team,   I have an infotable with a single column. for example the column name is fruits. There are multiple entries in the infotable and there are duplicate entries also. I need to get the count of occurance of each value in the infotable. I know I can use distinct function to get unique records in the column. Later i can loop through the infotable comparing the unique string and increasing a count variable. But what I want is to know if there is any way to get count of "orange" in below infotable using inbuilt function.   Example infotable records : orange apple apple orange lemon     I need output like   apple 2 orange 2 lemon 1.

Hi,   I`m using Button Bar widget, in the state definition display text is N/A but instead of showing N/A it is showing some other HTML text.   i.e: N\2f A   How to solve this?   Regarding, Janakiraman P        

I am using google maps widget, I need to show number values per country on the map it self. eg. in japan 20000, china 15000 like that i have to show values in map without any additional mashups. For better understanding i uploaded screen shot for how data should be displayed in UI.

We can see there is a property of Remote Access widget named "ListenPort". But I cannot find this in RemoteAccessClientLinker widget. How can I use it?
