Hi Experts,   We all are well aware of the usual steps to migrate Entities from one server to another. I wanted to know if anyone has come across some automated way of doing Thingworx application migration instead of manual export and import. Objective is to achieve migration with minimal manual efforts.   Thanks!

Hello,   I am trying to call my service 'ResetSheetCount' on each hour throughout the day. (7,8,9,10,11,12, .etc). I am wondering what is the best route to go with this. To use a timer that calls my service every second (use JS to determine whether the time is correct to reset sheet count) or create 8 or 9 schedulers that will execute the service at the correct times. Any other suggestions would be great.    Thanks

Hi   We have a use-case where we collect positions in x,y,z from an in-house positioning system. We want to show it in a plot-diagram. I can plot X & Y, but there is no widget for X, Y, Z.    Do you know how to proceed, any workaround or plans to have a X, Y, Z plot-widget? Also want to do a heat-diagram using the same data. On pot.ly (https://plot.ly/javascript/3d-charts/) I can find a lot of nice charts to use, can I use these in ThingWorx Mashup?   Thanks

How to change mashup style in Thingworx 8.5? I have kept background image for master and called in mashup using transparent style,but couldn't able to get the background image.

Hi, We wanted to log each and every action performed by a user in a runtime mashup in a log table that we have.  For eg: If there is a button named 'Add' and if the user clicks that, a entry with 'the user clicked the button Add' should be logged in our table. If the user navigates to another screen from one screen using navigation button, that should be logged that he navigated from so and so screen to that screen.  How can we make it generalised so that we can use the same snippet or service for all the mashups? Please help us achieve this use case.   Thanks in advance, Shalini V.

Hi everyone!   I have created a value stream to do test but I wanna clear the values storaged.   How I to clear the data storaged on the my value stream?   Regards.

Hi, I am facing issues doing the "manual test" with my Analysis Model. For some some models (Screenshot(154).png) I am not allowed to fill in values (Screenshot(155).png). For some other models I can fill in values but then the Analysis Job produces a failure (Screenshot(152).png and Screenshot(153).png).  Screenshot(156).png shows the Application Log right after the failure. Previously I experienced issues with the Predictor and publishing Models.   I followed the steps of this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnZSjDmmIac&feature=youtu.be

Hello, has anyone here manage to create a web application / E-commerce website using thingworx? Am pretty new to thingworx and I know thingworx is use for as a platform for IoT development. But is it weird if I use thingworx to build a E-commerce or a web application without involving the IoT aspects? Also if it's possible, how should I categorise "Things, Things Template, Things Shape" as? 

Hi,   I've configured 2 context, populate each context with a site, line and asset, and created 2 users. After setting the permission to each user to each context I'm not getting the expected result: all the users can access all the contexts. Attached are the screenshots with the asigned permissions. User_Fabrica_1 has not permissions to access context Fabrica 2, but in the file "Context Problem" you can see that the user can access it. What I'm doing wrong?   Thanks.   Olatz

Hi, We wanted to bind the kepware tags and create Things from main Industrial thing using a seperate Mashup.  i.e We wanted to create a mashup which traverses from the step of Discover (from main industrial thing), browsing the stations and till binding of tags/properties.

Hi, We are evaluating ThingWorx 8.5.0 that is installed on a linux server. We are running the platform in a disconnected mode (no internet available). We are following the guide : https://developer.thingworx.com/en/resources/learning-paths/getting-started-on-thingworx-platform/thingworx-foundation-quickstart . We can create and save tags, ThingShapes and ThingTemplates. But on the step 5, while saving the Thing, we are getting "Licence has not bee installed" error. The same can be seen while importing the sample entities from other guide, creating Data Shape, Value Streams, creating a new user etc. Can you please help us understand what might be the problem?   We have generated ../ThingworxPlatform/licenceRequestFile.txt file containing device id. We went through the Licensing Guide for disconnected sites (http://support.ptc.com/lm/ThingWorx_Navigate_8.1_Licensing_Instructions.pdf) . But getting 'Access denied:insufficient privileges' error due to trail version acco

Have you ever wondered if its possible to create a responsive scrollable mashup in Thingworx?   While creating an application you might run into an issue where you want to fit too much content to a single responsive page. Let's say you want to create a nice looking modern homepage or about page in Thingworx for your application. It might be challenging to do so but its very well possible. Let me show you a workaround.   1. In the Mashup builder select Layout tab, change Positioning to Static and set Fixed size to your desired Height. Leaving the Width field blank will allow Thingworx to set the Width automatically and stay responsive. 2. Now you need to plan in advance a little bit. Select a Layout widget and drag it to the blank page. A window similar to the one shown below will appear. Switch to Vertical orientation, choose your desired number of rows and click Done. 3. Your panel is now divided into equally spaced rows. Now you can change the proportions in the Layout wi

Hello, is there a way to make a mashup scrollable? Just like any other web page, when there is no more room for content, a scroll bar would appear and you would be able to scroll down to see more.  How do I do that, if that's even possible? Thank you.

Hi, I have the ThingWorx 8.1.2-b51, it is not a trial or student license. I can upload datasets and create models but at the moment I cannot publish them. I get the error: Model deployment failed on connector TW.AnalysisServices.ThingPredictorConnector. I have tried to change the predictive-standalone.yml and redeploy the ThingPredictor JAR file from the command line.   In command line (running the JAR) I get warnings like:  log4j: WARN No appenders could be found for logger. log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly. Cannot resolve place holder for ${microservice.server}   And different warnings about varaibles (ex: data.service.url.prefix) being set twice.   I believe there was a previous installation of the PredictorConnector, maybe uninstall the previous one might solve the problem? How can I do that?   Kind regards.
