IoT & Connectivity

Hi There, we are facing lot of problems when upgrading from 7.3.8 to 8.4.3. One of which is a problem with making requests from ThingWorx to Apache servers with LoadText() This Issue has been raised before and it is marked as Solved. I think it is not solved, because option "ignoreSSLErrors" has to prevent service to fail.  Apache servers are using self signed certs and we cannot change them.  We need to solve this by ignoring all SSL problems with response handling.  Needless to say this is a PROD environment for a very big customer of ours and PTCs.

Description: We are using Thingworx 8.4.0 and Kepware 8.3.65. We have created and configured remote asset through "PTC.Factory.Console" mashup. These remote assets are connected to local things. Both Thingworx and Kepware are running on diffrent machines. Now we have a requirement where we have to install Thingworx and Kepware (same version) on diffrent machines and deploy all the entities from one Thingworx server to another so we don't have to do the Kepware and Thingworx binding again.Please suggest what could be the best possible way to achieve the aim.

The tabsequence property on widgets seems obvious, but for some reason, I have been unable to get the tabbing order correct.   I also can find zero documentation that explains the syntax short of it indicating it's the sequence of tab order.   I have taken widgets and numbered them sequentially, but the tab order ( tab key ) does not seem to work.       Any suggestions would be appreciated.     

I have a table table with a field called AcknowledgeTStamp. I need it to fill be filled with the current date/time on the click of a button and then set to null with the click of another button. I tried the code below for my acknowledge service on my thing. I can't seem to figure it out. Any thoughts?  var createITParams = { infoTableName : "", dataShapeName : "" }; var properties = Resources["InfoTableFunctions"].CreateInfoTableFromDataShape(createITParams); // create a row with data var row = new Object(); row.name = "AcknowledgeTStamp"; // name of your property row.value = 5; // desired value row.time = new Date(); // you can set any timestamp you need - important when using ValueStreams to log properties.AddRow(row); Things[""].UpdatePropertyValues({ values: properties });

I have a grid and I need the selected row to be highlighted with the press of a button and then un-highlighted with the press of a button. Basically I need When an un-acknowledged item is selected, make the “Acknowledge” button enabled. When the “Acknowledge” button is pressed mark the selected item as acknowledged (highlighted) and then refresh the grid view. When an acknowledged item is selected, make the “Un-Acknowledge” button enabled. When the “Un-Acknowledge” button is pressed mark the selected item as un-acknowledged and then refresh the grid view. Below I have my mashup (snippet1) and my ack/unack service right below.  

Hi , Can I set a localization token string with placeholder ?  like:  "The data is empty for the device {0}"  , {0} is the placeholder of the device name .  Then I can call the service of RuntimeLocalizationFunctions to get the complete string value.    I didn't find where to set the placeholder and the resource entity RuntimeLocalizationFunctions  seems doesn't has service to getting token with placeholder , either.    Do I have to implement the feature by myself ?    Regards, Sean

Hi Guys,   I have been trying to create a ValueStream through Edge Java SDK, couldn't find any solution how to create that.
