Hi there, We kind a have a problem here.  We successfully upgraded to Thingworx 8.4. We have found that QueryThing extension (queryExecute mashups to be more precise) no longer works as expected. Buttons are gone and we cannot export displayed data to excel nor as csv.  We are using that extension and we have to make it work again. I have noticed that this extension is no longer present on the marketplace. I have narrowed it down to HTML text area. The whole output that needs to be displayed is generated via service getQueryResultAsHtml which returns HTML code. That code goes to HTML text area marked as readonly. On previous versions of ThingWorx (namely 7.3.8) that widget (HTML area) had not perform any safety measures (I guess) and appended the whole content to DOM. It was not very safe, but very convenient and powerful. These days are gone.  I tried simple <script>alert()</script>. No longer works. I would be able to circumvent this issue with Express

Hi there,Follow the PTC University course Fundamentals of IoT Development with Whingworx M7.7 Getting Starged with REST. I created another request in POSTMAN which would PUT single value to the Thinwgorx Thing flawlessly. As I tried to use the Collection Run to PUT a series of values. I got 403 error. The only thing I changed is the Request Body, but I see no difference in the log.Both are {"mailbox": "some-string"}   I tried solution the in REST API test of simple service returns HTTP 403. go to System / Subsystems / PlatformSubsystem / Configuration. Check "Allow Request Method Switch" and uncheck "Filter Content-Type"   And it lead me to error 400. Meantime, Disable Metrics Reporting by deselecting the Metrics Reporting Enabled checkbox like the Calling service API from Postman - 403 mentioned.So, how to make POSTMAN Collection Run works with Thingworx flawlessly?Any response would be appreciated.

Hi,   I've configured an anomaly detection alert but it is getting "failed" status after being on "calibration" status for a long time.   My environment is: - Thingworx platform 8.3 and H2 on Ubuntu  - Anaylitics Server 8.3 on Ubuntu in a different virtual machine Analytics is working ok because I've created some models before.   I am following the link https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article?n=CS265488 but it is a little bit confusing because it is explained on a windows and without having analytics server installed before.   I am getting confused with the ports. In the video expains that it is using 8080,8081,8090, 8091. But in my case results models are on 8900 and training on 9400.    I can't find the resolution because I couldn't find where the problem it is. I will appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.    Olatz

Hi, this seems to be two fairly simple tasks but I don't get it:   First: I'm trying to read data from an .xlsx file. Problem is, that I don't know which path-notation the default "SpreadSheet Reader" wants. After multiple attempt I've read in the documentation for the "Write File" node that files created by TWX Flow are located in the <TWXFolder>/modules/cache/userdata folder. For testing I've created a .txt file with the mentioned node and it worked so far - but there is no file in the folder. In fact, the file is nowhere to find on the system. Funny thing is, that if I'm using the "Read File" node it successfully read the file and I can even upload the file to the SystemRepository of Thingworx with the "Upload File"-TWX node. But where is the created file located? And do .xlsx sheets have to be in the mentioned userdata folder aswell to read/write them?   Second: How do I add authorizations for third-party services like gmail etc? Neither of the two ways described in

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

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.
