Hello, As mentioned in release notes of Thingworx 8.4, the repeater widget is now categorised as legacy widget. And I can see there are problems using the repeater in Thingworx 8.4 as compared to previous versions of Thingworx. I wanted to know if and what is an alternate to that widget. Thanks Aditya

Hi, Could any one please share the link to download the documents for learning and using ThingWorx 8.4 to work on widgets and extensions.  I couldn't find the document to use ThingWorx-Rockwell-FT-MES-8.4.1-00-extension. Where can I find the documents to use this extension or could any one provide the link to download this?    Thanks in advance, Shalini V.

Hello, I have a Remote thing, in which I have all the properties as persistent and logged. Those properties are binded to properties of another Generic thing, where these properties are also persistent and logged. Now whenever I restart my Remote thing, all the properties in Remote thing are reset to 0 (zero). And because the same properties are binded to my Generic thing, those are also reset to 0 (zero). What is the reason for this behaviour? How can I prevent this? Another interesting thing to note here is, if I query the properties from my generic thing, I can see that it returns the valuestream entries with latest timestamps (which were sent by Remote thing in previous sessions, before restarting it). However, if I execute the service, get current time, I get as Jan 1, 1970. Any help on this aspect would be appreciated. Thanks in advance Aditya Mittal  

Hi,   I tried to export a Thing, but it did not work. Then I found this error in ErrorLog   2019-04-17 11:50:31.113-0500 [L: ERROR] [O: E.c.t.w.BaseService] [I: ] [U: tranh] [S: ] [T: http-nio-192.168.230.127-443-exec-3] [context: com.thingworx.webservices.context.HttpExecutionContext@6fe900a3][message: No Context associated with current Thread (through reference chain: org.mozilla.javascript.NativeDate["prototype"]->org.mozilla.javascript.NativeDate["ids"])] java.lang.RuntimeException: No Context associated with current Thread Wrapped by: com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonMappingException: No Context associated with current Thread (through reference chain: org.mozilla.javascript.NativeDate["prototype"]->org.mozilla.javascript.NativeDate["ids"]) at com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonMappingException.wrapWithPath(JsonMappingException.java:379) ~[jackson-databind-2.8.1.jar:2.8.1] at com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonMappingException.wrapWithPath(JsonMappingException.j

Hi, I am trying to install ThingWorx-Platform-Mssql-8-4-1 on my windows instance and I am facing the attached error which is terminating the installation.    Steps I followed :  1. Downloaded the installer file ThingWorx-Platform-Windows-FoundationInstaller-Mssql-8-4-1 (144 MB) from https://support.ptc.com/appserver/auth/it/esd/product.jsp?prodFamily=TWX 2. Created an user in MsSQL with required SysAdmin and DB access credentials 3. Extracted the downloaded installer file and tried installing by providing the required MsSQL DB parameters with the user credentails. 4. Installation started and got terminated half way due to the above error.

Using the guide here: https://developer.thingworx.com/en/resources/guides/configure-manufacturing-apps/monitor-servers-assets-and-devices I have the factory simulator control console open and I can change operational characteristics of assets on the line using the controls.   Asset KPIs seem to update to reflect the changes made with the controls. And the Line rolls up the asset status correctly at first.   I am using the 8.4.0-00-KEPServerEX-Bundle   When I re-enable assets to be fully operational again, the line KPI stays in the state it reported when I took an asset or two into a stopped state. I see green check marks for all assets (e.g. 1-3_CNCMill and 1-3_CNCTurning) but the line stays in the Red X status and reports it is in unplanned downtime. Must you do something to confirm that the line (1-3_Line) should also be in Running state when the assets are running again.

Hi, Is it possible to bind the kepware channels in a combo box and when I choose one channel it should populate the respective tags in that channel.   For eg: If there are two channels, Equipment 2 and Equipment 2, I need to bind these two channels in a combo box. And when I choose Equipment 1 from combo box the tags inside the Equipment 1 has to be populated in another combo box. Same has to be done when I choose Equipment 2.   Thanks in advance, Shalini V.

Hi, I am uploading a excel file with 10 rows using file upload widget and after uploading I am giving the all data to insert into external database. But when I upload only the first row of the excel gets inserted.

Hi, 1) I saw a thread in community and tried to create style definition using script and when I run it, it doesnt show any output. What should be the base type to create a style definition? var name = "NewTestStyle3"; try{ Resources["EntityServices"].CreateStyleDefinition({ name: name, description: undefined , content: { "content" : { "params": "", "image":"", "backgroundColor":"#d49d13", "textSize":"normal", "lineStyle":"dotted", "displayString":"Series 15", "fontEmphasisUnderline":false, "fontEmphasisItalic":false, "lineThickness":1, "lineColor":"#ffac20", "foregroundColor":"#ffdc84", "fontEmphasisBold":false, "secondaryBackgroundColor":"#ffb22f" } }, tags: undefined }); }catch(err) { logger.error("EERROR STYLE CREATION "+err); Resources["EntityServices"].DeleteStyleDefinition({ name: name }); } 2)  I am using a colour picker widget downloaded from market place where the selected colour appears like a code. How can I bind the output of the selected

Several times while developing my mashup, after hitting save I notice that it doesn't actually save my changes - the runtime view isn't updated, yet I still get the "Save successful" message. I investigated the problem, and found my changes aren't even being sent to the server: I looked at network traffic in Chrome dev tools, the PUT http://<server>/Thingworx/Mashups/<mashupName>?reason= req request, mashupContent in the JSON payload is the old content, without my changes. I tried to export my changes, and the xml download also doesn't include my changes. I look at 'change history', and no entry for my change. With no way to persist my changes, I reloaded the page, made the changes again, tried to save, and again had the same problem. Tried a new tab, new window, etc. The only way to fix it was to log out and back in again. This has now happened twice in 2 days.   Separately, I have also previously had the problem where I get an error saving, with the error box display

Hello,   We are not connected to PTC Performance Advisor. We can get pretty much all info on total number of user and active session etc using TWX Resources. How do we chart growth of users per week or month? How many times an App has been used? One way I can think of to log into Value stream. Looking for more ideas.   thanks, Preeti

  Meet Chris. Chris leads the ThingWorx Flow portfolio, which will be releasing in 8.4. Chris has “a long history with workflow and a lot of interest in it.” He was originally hired as a product manager by Jim Heppelmann [PTC’s CEO] about 20 years ago to build a workflow engine for Windchill, our PLM solution. As a matter of fact, this feature is still a part of Windchill today. Pretty neat, right? We were able to leverage Chris’ workflow expertise and experience to create ThingWorx Flow. Check out more below.   Kaya: Why did we create ThingWorx Flow? What challenge does it solve? Chris: In order for customers to realize the full business value for connected solutions, it typically isn’t enough to just surface an alert to show a dashboard of health. Customers want to automatically do things like create service tickets or automatically order consumables as they run low. To do that—to realize that automated value—you need a couple of things. First, you need to be able to easil

Hi, Is it possible to implement colour picker in ThingWorx where I can choose the RGB and save it in style definition? In a mashup I want to use the colour picker like a widget where I can choose the colours and save it as a style definition and in database too.   Thanks in advance, Shalini V.

I installed using PostgreSQL as persistence, when I try to load Composer it is redirecting to home page and issuing an error "This site can't be reached"

I have a remote thing which reports temperature and humidity, sensor is connected to Rapsberry. I have set temp and hum prorerties as persistent and logged, and have Value Stream assigned to thing.   So, I can see property values, and I can observe their values changing over time. But when I query property history, I see, that property changes are not logged over time, but values updated for several last rows with new value (leaving the original timestamp). I attach pictures for better understanding.   So, what is wrong?

Hi Community,   I`m running out of ideas when trying to connect my OPC UA server to the Thingworx platform..   That`s where I`m at and what I tried:   1. Connect to the Server with UA Expert or Prosys OPC Client >> works fine. 2. Use the OPC Client extension to connect to the Thingworx Platform: Create Application Key and test it by changing a property of a thing via URL >> works. Create a Thing with RemoteOPCUAEndpoint Template. Change the following parameters in the config.json file: host, port, app_key, thing_name, endpoint host, endpoint port. Start the ThingWorx_OPC_UA_Client.jar file in the same network: Nothing happens. Note: When monitoring the OPC server on my raspberrypi I can see that the Server activates the session when using OPC UA Expert. When starting the ThingWorx_OPC_UA_Client.jar it also logs an incoming connection but can not activate the session and therefore closes the session. Raspberrypi log from connection to UA Expert
