Hi, I need to get system statistics as a property in Thingworx so that I can display the values in mash up.   With regards Yedukrishnan

Hello I need to show a chart that works exactly like X-Y chart, but with the possibility to show at the X asix a date string (or a timestamp) and on Y a value". X-Y Chart does not allow to use string or timestamp on X ... this is the problem. This is what I get  Graphically it is OK, the problem is that X are "days" theoretically, but to get this "effect" I had to use a pure number, 1 to n (on picture X labels are hidden). But a number is not easy to unterstand as a date (expecially with hover values)    I tried so the Label Chart (with marker chart type) that is very flexible, but I get this ... because for each record it creates a new "label" so it "shift each new label right"   original valus are something like DAY    Y-VALUE   STATUS    X_VALUE_USED_FOR_XYCHART 01-09    0            Off               1 01-09    1      &nbs

How do I purge any and all entries for a given datatable that are within a certain time range? I don't care what values may be contained within the time range - I will want to delete them, regardless.    I've tried these two out-of-the-box methods from PTC:   Things["MyDataTable"].PurgePropertyHistory({propertyName: undefined,endDate: myEndTimeStamp,immediate: true,startDate: myStartTimeStamp});   ...and......   Things["Ford.PFS.GM.Historian.Repository"].PurgeSelectedPropertyHistory({propertiesToPurge: eventFramesInfoTable /* I passed an empty infotable here that was the same shape as my data table */,endDate:myEndTimeStamp,startDate:myStartTimeStamp});

Hi , ---Nested InfoTable I need to display multiple tables in the mashup with ONE server call .  So  I created a data shape and add the fields with data type "InfoTable".   In the mashup , I bind the field to advanced grid instead of "all data", so I call it nested InfoTable.    ---Dynamic columns I also need the columns of the advanced grid to be dynamic , so I don't set data shape for the InfoTable fields  .  Only advanced grid supports dynamic columns , grid doesn't support it.   But advanced grid does NOT  work  in the combination of Nested InfoTable + Dynamic columns.  It just display the data as Empty lines.  See the summary table and attached image below:    Is it a known issue ?        Dynamic Column Nest Table     Yes No Yes No Dynamic Column Yes / / Doesn't Work Works Well   No / / Works Well Works Well Nest Table Yes Doesn't Work Works Well / / &nbs

Hello!   I'd like to know if it is possible to run a ThingsWorx service through an external application (like Unity). Ideally I'd want to keep the scripting of the service on ThingsWorx for various reasons, so it would really just be to do something like "MyThing.GetService("MyServiceName").Run();" (with the data returned by the service being re-routed to the external app obviously) or something along those lines.    Thanks!

I have an infotable with nearly 1000 entries and the column headers are named as Timestamp, Field1, Field2, Field3, Field4, Field5, Field6, Field7, Field8, Field9, Field10. My requirement is that: If Field2, Field4 and Field6 are having the same value (say 0), it should fetch the time when all the 3 fields turned 0. Also, it should calculate the duration of how long all the 3 fields were in same value state. I will attach a screenshot showing the sample infotable with values. Please provide a solution for this usecase. Thanks in advance.   Starttime                               Timestamp Field1                                                    Field2
