Is it possible to use Operator Advisor without Windchill?   I'm looking into using OA with Manufacturing Apps for performance monitoring.  I would like to use the framework of OA for: - Work Orders - Work Instructions - BoM - Personell  - setup of connected tools - historical data from connected tools   Is this doable without Windchill? - adding the information manually - possibly importing some data through cvs or xml files   Does anybody have thoughts or experience doing this? Are there any guidelines for the implementation work?

Hi,   I am trying out few operations on templates via java sdk. One of the use case is getting all the thing names that are derived from a particular template. According to the documentation, a simple invokeService call to GetThingRelationships should get this done cleanly. The service expects an input of maxDepth we want to keep searching the things. (e.g. vehicalTemplate -> CarTemplate -> ElectricCarTemplate -> TeslaCar1Thing, TeslaCar2Thing, TeslaCar3Thing etc ).   When tried to execute the call via java sdk -  client.invokeService(RelationshipTypes.ThingworxEntityTypes.ThingTemplates, "templateName", "GetThingRelationships", new ValueCollection(), 30000)  throws exception stating - Invalid service name.   Same goes for other services like - GetImpletementedShapes, GetThingTemplate etc.  Are these not the valid services for  entityType templates? If so, why are they listed under Services section of my template in composer UI?   I

Hi, I made a service like thousands of others. But one thing baffles me, output of this service which is Infotable, is also editable. I have never seen this before. As far as I can tell, there is no option in composer, nor in datashape nor in service output which would indicate that this even possible.  What is goin on.  Screenshots explain what I mean. One service's output looks like any other (non editable output), one is almost the same in a nutshell but output is editable.  Anyone? Editable:   Standard:   

I'm trying to locally install ThingWorx Foundation trial on an Ubuntu 18.04 Azure VM. I was following the Foundation Linux Install Guide found on the developer portal, and was able to get to the last step where everything is installed when the setup errored out with message: "Failed to install dependencies: Chef Client". I found an article, "ThingWorx Installers 8.5 and Q&A", that states the "Support of Ubuntu is not there for the automated installers, it is still there for ThingWorx itself." How do I proceed to install the trial if the automated installer is not supported? I need to install with SSL.

I using layout widget to divide to three section.   I wonder if there is a difference between dividing three sections into one header 2 columns and 3 columns.    

Hi there,Today I found an issue in Thingworx 8.4.Here I have a Thing with 5 attributes(F1/F2/F3/F4/F5) with Value Stream configured.Now I uses service of SetPropertyValues to update all attributes in the same moment.- 1st time set to 11/12/13/14/15,- 2nd time set to 21/22/23/24/25.So there should be 2 rows in Value Stream.But I found 3 rows instead, the 2nd update has been recorded into Value Stream in 2 different ms. Impact:In Analytics, if we set Dataset as time series data, the training model will track data back, by comparing current cycle VS last cycles, while for last cycles data are queried from Value Stream.So if we cannot make sure all features/attributes are updated in the same moment(in same row of Value Stream), then the model will check with false data. Please check it.

I just wanted to try out ThingWorx Performance Advisor according to https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS262960   But the Performance Advisor Homepage is not available: https://performance-advisor.ptc.com/Thingworx   Does the ThingWorx Performance Advisor have a new Homepage?

Hello, I need a workaround to display the latest 5 notifications , which I have in an infotable(only a way to visualize the data is required). What I need is a widget / workaround to display the notifications in a small popup in the same mashup and at the end of the notifications I would like to have a button to navigate to another mashup. I have used Mashup as popup and it is navigating to a popup page where the popup comes at the middle. I need it to be in a corner. To see exactly what I mean I am attaching an image which show the visualization   Kindly suggest any workarounds or widgets which I can use to make it look like the popup in the image.   Thank You

Hi,  Value Display has big changes in Thingworx 8.5,  which lead to lots of issues:  1.  The render property cannot set style anymore. (It's a known regression issue of feature lost I think) 2.  It's allowed to set style theme on value display, but:       2.1  The style theme doesn't work in a contained mashup for value display(for example, text color doesn't take effect)      2.2  The style theme must be same in the same mashup (limitation)      2.3  The element in style theme doesn't has value display(limitation) 3.  The base style properties cannot only control the "novalue" property,  if the the value bind to value display to data,  then the style can NOT be controlled.  4. The html of value display introduces "shadow dom" , but the customCss editor doesn't allow to use ^ or ^^ to access the dom from the parent .  I understand of the purpose of shadow dom is to spearat

Hi, I want to fetch the propertyDefinitions of a thingTemplate. I am calling GetMetadata service on the template -  client.invokeService(RelationshipTypes.ThingworxEntityTypes.ThingTemplates, "MyTemplateName", "GetMetadata", new ValueCollection(), DEFAULT_TIMEOUT);  This returns an empty propertyDefinitions infotable. The call works fine for entityType Things.   The rest call - GET <server>/Thingworx/ThingTemplates/MyTemplateName returns all the properties under path "effectiveShape/propertyDefinitions" in the response json.   How can I get the same using java sdk?   Regards, Vaishnavee

Hi  I am converting timestamp to datetime format with basetype DATETIME with the code "var date = new Date(Timestamp * 1000)". The result of it is being saved in an datafield of DATETIME basetype. I want to extract the date part of the result since i want to apply aggregate function on it. To extract the date part of the column, I am using (getFullYear(),getMonth(), getDay()) methods. But it gives me an error "Cant find getFullYear() function in "Wed Jan 15 2020 06:26:30 GMT+0530 (IST) "" Even though my DATETIME is being stored in the format YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS why is it pointing to the GMT format to extract the DATE object A way aorund it would highly be appreciated   regards
