we have a set of customized Thingworx extensions that we wrote before, they are working fine in previous thingworx versions, but when we started  importing them into Thingworx 8.5.0-b12 we encountred very strange errors, for one extension there is no problem, but when we install the second one we have this error at run time and mashup design in the composer, could you advise us how we can fix this problem, because we have to transfer to the new Thingworx version and we can't if our widgets aren't working there.

Hi guys,   I'm working with the Thingworx Remote Access Client and I want to connect this with TWX which is running on AWS.   When I start a connection via the RemoteAccessClientLinker-Widget the RA-Client starts and try to connect and timed out after few secondes with the error message: Unable to connect to Thingworx; ensure platform is available at <xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:443> and that proxy settings are correct   Last week I try the same with a PTC-Hosted Thingworx and everything works fine. On my AWS hosted Thingworx it will not connect. Strangely it works fine with the old Remote Access Widgets.   server.xml (without all comments) <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Server port="8005" shutdown="SHUTDOWN"> <Listener className="org.apache.catalina.startup.VersionLoggerListener" /> <Listener className="org.apache.catalina.core.AprLifecycleListener" SSLEngine="on" /> <Listener className="org.apache.catalina.core.JreMemoryLeakPreven

Hi, My customer wants to use thingworx analytics to train the model.  The data  volume for trailing the model(after data cleansing) would be several millions,  but may has larger data over 10 millions in the future .  The customer wants to train the different models or train the same model with different data monthly, bi weekly , and would be better if can train every a few days with the updated raw data.   The questions are :  1.  what kinds of hardware are required for the customer's needs ?  does GPU required for such case and can thingworx analytics utilize the GPU  ?  2. Does thingworx analytics supports cluster deployment , not only for availability but for balancing the computing resources ?   Is there any offical document for the above questions ?  The only document I can find is https://www.ptc.com/support/-/media/CE3479EC89B74CD7891F65F2E47BE04D.pdf?sc_lang=en    , but it looks just a strateg

Hi, we do have a yet another delightful problem with ThingWorx. We have updated Tomcat from 8.0 to 8.5.  We have changed server config file as instructed and java properties in tomcat config utilities.  We deployed ThingWorx into the new Tomcat (coppied war file, autodeploy true by default)  Everything works fine except for the fact that platform is no longer logging anything into the log files.  No script log, no application log no nothing.    Anyone any help.  I am very exhausted to debug such a software....

Good evening and Happy New Year!   I launched version 2.3.0 of the GitBackup Extension.  The release is available here https://github.com/vrosu/thingworx-gitbackup-extension/releases/tag/V2.3.0   It adds the capability to push commits using User specific Committer Name and Email. This is an optional feature, which allows multiple developers to push commits under their own credentials. The documentation was updated with more details about this.   This release certifies the Extension to work for ThingWorx 8.5.x. (Previous ThingWorx versions have not been tested and the documentation was updated accordingly).    As always, this extension is not a PTC supported product, so in case you have issues with it, please do not open a PTC Tech Support ticket and instead use GitHub's issue system or the PTC Community.   Please feel free to fork and improve it.

Is there a limitation to the visible tool tip mashup height/width?   I have my tooltip mashup set to the following dimensions but I can only see a width of about 500px at a time.   width: 1300 height: 350   I don't want the user to get the scroll bar to scroll in the tool tip mashup.

Hi, is there any way to have the top level menu (horizontal) as Icons only but the sub menu (vertical) as icons & text (or just text).   Thanks, K

Hello. I am trying to export four things from a project that are the only ones that have a certain tag. I tried exporting as XML or binary but I always get the same error. If I export things individually I have no error, but they are more than 70!!! I had no problems exporting other entities, only with things does that happen. I am using Thingworx 8.4. I am sending the export form and the browser error. Thanks.   

Is it possible to get the button-ID (and related properties) who started a service from a mashup ?   what I would make easier is this: I have a service who makes a data-preview, or a data-import . This service is called from a mashup button. A boolean variable can be set as service parameter to switch between the two functions.   I would have instead 2 buttons on the mashup, one that makes preview, another that makes import. Is it possible to get button ID from inside the service ? If so, I can switch from preview and import without need to deal with a BOOL to set/reset from the mashup   I know I could do by duplicating the service .. and use one button for each one ... but make mashup mode complex ..

Hii I have  a Thing property as Punch_In_Status and created a property as Test when a person Punch in the biometric scanner the property displays as PRESENT , If not is displays as ABSENT My need is that , In mashup when  the property Punch_In_Status displays as PRESENT ,then the Test property should be in GREEN colour , if ABSENT it should display as RED colour

Hi, I have created a service which is running at back end while executing. But, in mashup while clicking the button it was telling like Error from the server: "". I don't understand what is happening. I have tried after restarting also showing the same error. Thanks.

i want to convert .csv file to .pdf file after using the export widget.

We have possibility to creating expression rules in Axeda platform(see more: https://community.ptc.com/t5/IoT-Tech-Tips/Axeda-Expression-Rules/m-p/532448#M815)Could we create something like this for things in Thingworx platform? Note that I have a lot of things, so could it possible to set rules only for my thing template and use it in all of my inherited things?

Is there a code snippet to download a file from a repository? I'm looking to download a file from within a service. I want to avoid having to use a widget (e.g. link or data export), and wondered if there was any way to kick off a download from within a script. I realise I can use the GetFileListingsWithLinks to get the url, but how can I then activate that url from within a service.   What I actually want to happen is: on the click of a button I want to run a service that creates a file, writes some data (based on some user defined parameters), saves it, then automatically begin the download. Ideally after the download I would like to delete the file.   TIA K  

Is there a way to convert a static mashup to a responsive mashup (advanced)? It would be nice if this is possible since I don't want to start all over and bind the services to the widgets and also set up all the validators.
