Thingworx Analytics is offered through the User interface called Analytics Builder with some pre-configured functionality. However, should you want to create your own jobs and mashups, all features from Analytics Builder and some more are available through the Thingworx Services.  Running most functionality requires that you provide some data to run the Analytics Services. This is where the datasetRef parameter is required.        Data uploaded through Analytics Builder Any dataset uploaded through builder will require have a datasetUri as shown in the image above and format will be parquet (all small letters) datasetUri can be obtained from the list of datasets in builder Passing data as an in-body Dataset If data isn't uploaded through Analytics Builder, data can be supplied as an Infotable in the data parameter of the datasetRef. Metadata will also need to be supplied if a new dataset is being created (create Job of the AnalyticsServer_DataThing) If this

IntroductionOracle 12c release introduced the concept of multi-tenant architecture for housing several databases running as service under a single database, I'll try to address the connectivity and required configuration to connect to one of the Pluggable database running in the multi-tenant architecture.Multi-tenant database architecture in scope of ThingWorx External Data SourceWhat is multi-tenant Database architecture ?Running multiple databases under a single database installation. Oracle 12c allows user to create one database called Container Database (CDB) and then spawn several databases called Pluggable Databases (PDB) running as services under it.Why use multi-tenant architecture?Such a setup allows users to spawn a new PDB as and when needed with limited resource requirements, easily administer several PDBs just by administering the container database - since all the PDBs are contained within a single database's tablespace structure, start and stop individual PDB leading to

Hi,   My question is about Manufacturing Apps and the possibilities to be configured to monitor lines, machines, KPIs, etc. of multiple factories with differente group of users.   In our case, the intent is to use Manufacturing Apps to monitor different lines, machines, and KPIs from different factories. Each factory is going to have its own users, and once the users are logged, they only should see the lines, machines and KPIs that are configured for their factory, so they shouldn't have access information from other factories. Each factory should have its look & feel (logos, colours, etc.) which is going to be different for each factory.   Can we do it using Manufacturing Apps?   Thanks.   Olatz

I have been using Thingworx foundation 8.4 installed on a Windows server machine. I just found there are no environment variables like JAVA_HOME and JRE_HOME defined on this server. It looks Thingworx works fine.  I also found a JavaHome key likely defined for Thingworx in the registry item "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Apache Software Foundation\Prorun 2.0\thingworxServer\Parameters\Jave\". Can anyone help explain if the JAVE_HOME environment variable is a must-have?
