How can I use python code in one thing?

Hi, We have developed screens in ThingWorx in server side, when we connect the VPN and open the runtime link in our local machine. We see the mismatch of timezone. We saw that this issue prevails in Thingworx. We also came across a jira ticket. Can you please send us the solution link to that jira ticket.   Thanks, Shalini V.

Hiya,   I recently prepared a short demo which shows how to onboard and use Azure IoT devices in ThingWorx and added some usability tips and tricks to help others who might struggle with some of the things that I did.     The good news... I recorded and posted it to YouTube here.   •Connect Azure IoT Hub with ThingWorx (to be updated soon for 9.0 release) •Using the Azure IoT Dev Kit with ThingWorx •Getting the Azure IoT Hub Connector Up and Running (V3/8.5)   Enjoy, and don't hesitate to comment with your own tips and feedback.   Cheers,   Greg

I wonder the difference between the infotable and the datatable.When should I use an infotable and a datatable?

Hello,   I currently try to upload an image to SAP via Odata as Attachment. Everything is fine, but i have one issue. The SAP Endpoint expect a Content-Type : (f.e) image/png... But the service send everytime application/json.   I've allready changed the getCustomHeaderParameters... still not working. Any Idea how i can change the content type?    

Hi everyone,   I have 100+ images on a Thingworx repository that I would like to load and show them on UI (Mashup). Each image file has between 100KB/200 KB, so when I run a service to load all of them will be something like (100+ Images)* (100/200KB) to download, which takes a lot o time to load.   For this reason, I've decided to reduce the image resolution on Thingworx, so that it could reduce the file's sizes and increase the loading speed to UI. To do so I've imported the Imaging Tools Extension :  https://marketplace.ptc.com/apps/193452/imaging-tools#!overview But, when using this extension, it would certainly reduce the images resolution but when these new files (with reduced resolution) were saved, all of them had around 1MB+ ...   - Is there a way to reduce image file size on Thingworx ?  - If not, what would be the best way to create thumbnails for each image, load them (assuming that it will be faster than loading the full image), and then 

Predicting time to failure (TTF) or remaining useful life (RUL) is a common need in IIOT world. We are looking here at some  ways to implement it. We are going to use one of the Nasa dataset publicly available that simulates the Turbofan engine degradation (https://c3.nasa.gov/dashlink/resources/139/) . The original dataset has got 26 features as below Column 1 – asset id Column 2 – cycle/time of sensor data collection Column 3- 5 – operational setting Column 6-26 – sensor measurement In the training dataset the sensor measurement ends when the failure occurs.     Data Collection Since the prediction model is based on historic data, the data collection is a critical point. In some cases the data would have been already collected form the past and you need to make the best out of it. See the Data preparation chapter below. In situation where you are collecting data, a few points are good to keep in mind, some may or may not apply depending on the type of data to be collec

Dear Thingworx community,I am facing behavior I cannot explain and I am looking for some expertise. I have two scenarios/questions, loosely related. 1. I have a very simple mashup, just showing a counter from a thing. The GetProperties Service is called once when the mashup is loaded. I set the "Automatically update values when able" checkmark to true. I let it run until my session gets closed automatically by the system because I hit idle session timeout. I would expect the counter to stop but it doesn't, the websocket seems to remain open and I continuously retrieve the counter information. I am very certain that my session is closed because a) I get the login window on other tabs and b) I also get the login window when refreshing my mashup (F5). Why is that? 2. I noticed the Autorefresh widget keeps the session alive. So in one plant we have one particular mashup (not my counter test from 1.) permanently open. It contains one Autorefresh widget and as expected the session remains op

Hello everyone, I have a problem navigating between my menu options   When I run my dashboard runtime it works fine, but when I browse my menu, when I return to the dashboard some formatting ends up changing. Below images:     Can anyone help me with this?

Hi,  I'm reading the article https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS204091?&posno=1&q=204091&ProductFamily=ThingWorx&source=search  , but feel a little bit confused about the phrase "Why is there a performance hit at 100,000 records?" .    The phrase has two statements:  If using a Stream to store more than 100,000 records and the query or get that is being exercised on that Stream to return data always has the timestamp fields filled out there should not be a huge performance hit because, only a specific number of records will be returned for that subset of time that is specified in the initial query based on the timestamp The key here is to utilize the default timestamp field when adding records to the Stream and not attempting to query on a custom timestamp field within the query parameter. This is because the initial pull of data from the Stream will return the entire&n

Hi, I'm using ThingWorx 8.5. I need to display only near by police station in the google map widget based on the vehicle location. The other places should not be highlighted or named. Is this is possible in ThingWorx ? How can it be achieved?   Thank you Ashritha

Hi, We are trying to reproduce the browsing of kepware tags in runtime. We are trying to bind the script we wrote to tree widget to bring the exact structure. But since all the last child name ( Alarmstate_x) of different parent are same, the sub child of Alarmstate_x (Alarmstate_x0 to Alarmstate_x4) are repeatedly binded to one child instead of spliting them. I have attached the script and screenshot of the scenario we are trying to produce. Please help us on what we are missing.   Thanks, svisveswaraiya.

Hello,   I am trying to log the data from KEPServerEx to MongoDB using MongoDB ODBC Driver and  MongoDB Connector for BI. I am using Data Logger plug in for this.   I am able to add the DSN for MongoDB using this ODBC driver but when I start the logging it gives me below error:  Unable to open recordset on log group 'LogGroup2'. Reason: parse sql 'SELECT * FROM "KepserverData"' error: unexpected STRING at position 30 near KepserverData Is it possible to log the data to NoSQL Db from KEPServerEx?  Also, is there any different plugin that I can use?

I have tried both Advanced grid/grid to display data in multiple resolutions.Columns are not adjusting/cutting off in some resolutions even it is set to auto width.Any solution for this?

 Hello, We're currently using KepServer for all of our machine and database communication, paired mostly with Mitsubishi Q series PLC.   I'm more familiar with the Kepware functionality than I am with the PLC ladder logic. Is it possible for me to continuously write a tag to an M bit on a machine from Kepware, and in the instance that say the server running Kepware is restarted, that tag value would return false? I think it may be more on the PLC logic side, but I was wondering if it'd be possible to use a linked tag that's always on, and link it to an M bit, turning that M bit on, and have the plc logic to try and turn it off. Is there a better method to achieve what I'm thinking in my head?

My question is: How could I change the "isConnect" property to True? I've tried to change the isConnected directly, but it is not possible. I'm using the trial version of ThingWorx.

Can you nest a collection widget inside another collection widget.   Basically I have an embed infotable inside an infotable. And I want to display all data.   So I'm trying to display the data flat without transforming the data.    Has anyone done this?   Thanks for your help.

Hi all, Is there any suggested way to connect to BigQuery from Google Cloud without using ThingWorx Flow? Would you recommend to create an external service using one of the SDKs? I guess that will take some work. Or is there any other way that I might not be aware? Thanks!
