Hi, I am running Thingworx 8.2 and Kepware 6.3 I followed the guide here : http://support.ptc.com/help/thingworx_hc/thingworx_8_hc/en/#page/ThingWorx%2FHelp%2FComposer%2FIndustrialConnections%2FIndustrialConnectionsExample.html%23   When I look at the Thing properties, I see Interface connected. Unfortunately, I can't get "Industrial Connections" section visible.   In Kepware log, I can see errors like : * Date Time Level Source Event3/31/2019 3:42:20 PM Error ThingWorx Native Interface Error adding item. | Item name: ''.3/31/2019 3:42:20 PM Error KEPServerEX\Runtime Attempt to add item 'Hostname' failed.   I can't understand what I am doing wrong, any idea ?   Thanks

Put together a quick example mashup in support of a couple of analytics projects to demonstrate use of the new TWX Analytics 8.1 APIs within TWX mashup builder. The intention here is for use in POCs to provide a quick way of demonstrating customer-facing analytics outputs along with the more detailed view available in Analytics Builder.Required pre-requisites are:ThingWorx 8.1 + Analytics ExtensionsThingWorx Analytics Server 8.1Carousel TWX UI widget (attached) imported into TWXData set(s) loaded with signals / profiles generated.The demo can be installed by importing the attached entities file into TWX composer then launching the mashup 'EMEA.Analytics.CustomerInsightMashUp'. A quick run through of the functionality ...On launching the mashup, data sets and models are displayed for selection on the left hand-side.On selecting dataset and model, signals are presented in two tabs - first an overview of all signals. The list on the left can be expanded by changing the value for 'Top <

How can we convert static property to bound property?  

I have Thingworx platform and Thingworx Analytics installed in a CentOS VM on my laptop. It was working fine until, the IP address of the VM changed (or so I suspect, may be something else also might have affected this). Please see the attached snapshots - all configurations are with localhost. I haven't used any IP addresses while configuring the Analytics and everything is on the same VM. Is there a way to get edge logs to see whats the error? I do not see anything useful in the Thingworx logs or Analytics logs.

Hi,   I would like to following the status of my equipment (running, down, ...) as a timeline chart like the picture below. I have tried the Gantt chart that is not so bas but it generates several lines for each event. I want only one line. Did someone of you already build such a graph ?   Regards.

Hi Team,   We are running tests to send data from Kepserver to Thingworx. At thingworx platform, we have create multiple things to receive the data at 10k events/sec.  However, we see the following messages at kepserver message console    "ThingWorx Native Interface  One or more value change updates lost due to insufficient space in the connection buffer. | Number of lost updates:15000"   My current scan rate is 1000 ms. I tried increasing scan rate and publish rate but still seeing these errors   Problems/Queries 1. Is there any tunable which needs to be configured for this buffer ? 2. Is there a limitation with Postgres to accept records at 10K events/sec ?   Regards Sunil

Hi,   I have a datatable where I store information based on location.   Like this:  Department | Name | Ratio1 | Ratio2 | Ratio3 | Ration4 Dept1             N01      90           85         85        90 Dept1             N02      92           87         87        92 Dept2             N07      90           85         85        88 Dept2             N18      90           85         85        88 Dept2             N22      90  &nbs

Hi, We are facing issues with Thingworx first time login. We are using - Thingworx 8.4 on Tomcat 9.x on Azure Windows Server 2012 VM. DB is Azure managed PostgreSQL 10.x Please take a look at the attachment. We tried all possible login credentials and nothing worked. Also tried Administrator/admin credentials from some community discussions. What should be the first time login? The online Thingworx documentations suggest that once we open "http://server:port/Thingworx" page, we should change the initial password that was defined in platform-settings.json. However, I am unable to get past this login page.   Requesting some assistance please.

To pre-process for analytics, I need to calculate some values. It would help immensely if I could utilize Math functions like hypot(),  etc. Does anyone know, how I can make use of these functions in a service?    I did notice that some functions do work like sqrt() for example, but not all, I am specifically interested in hypot at this time. 

Hi Folks,   Is there any limit of Properties per Thing?   I have a MQTT Thing with more than 1,00,000 Properties(Topics) in it. Is it going to impact my application in any negative way?   Thanks.

I have some remote things with its properties bounded and logged. I show to user Property History Log and I don´t want to lose logs when remote thing disconnects.   I have a C# console app with Thingworx SDK whom pushes the properties every x minutes. Does C# SDK save these properties in a queue and then send it to the server when reconnects? Or I have to handle this case?

Hey guys - I am working on creating a menu similar to Manufacturing Apps and have been running into an issue. Here are the details. Created a tile mashup template with an image, description and a overlaying navigation widget. The data needed is hosted in a Data Table and  using GetDataTableEntries service i am mapping the data over to the collection widget. The parameters on the tile template mashup are mapped to the fields from the GetDataTableEntries. Viewing the Mashup and the tiles display icons and descriptions of all lines of data in the data table. Upon clicking the tile it opens a new tab but the mashup doesnt open. For e.g. the mashup to be triggered is MainMashup and i expect to see the like url  http://xxx:8080/Thingworx/Runtime/index.html#mashup=MainMashup but what I see is http://jmpthingworx:8080/Thingworx/Runtime/index.html#mashup=&__nc=c6551917-9429-41f9-9a1b-cd522fbc9d3a. Another thing to note is that the name of the mashup is being passed

  Question: What are some best practices around building IIoT solutions with ThingWorx?   Meet Ward. Ward works on the product management team for our Manufacturing Apps (i.e. Asset Advisor, Operator Advisor, Production Advisor, etc.). He’s a super cool and smart guy, and he always has an answer to my ThingWorx questions. He has so many answers, in fact, that he worked closely with other ThingWorx experts like Sangeeta to create the ThingWorx Application Development Guide.   I sat down with him to hear his top few tips from the guide. And, just in case we don’t have enough fun around here on “Ask Kaya,” we decided to list his top tips not by “1”-“2”-“3”, but by “W”-“A”-“R”-“D”.   Without further to do, here are Ward’s top tips from the ThingWorx Application Development Guide.   Whitelist your IPs for application keys. (See page 67.) Auto Refresh widget vs. GetProperties service? How should I update live data to my mashup? (See page 25.) Reuse components to incr

Is there any provision to set one location as default network selected node instead of "Auto Select First Row". Please refer Below snap, I want SysAdmin as default Location.

I am working in a project where Thingworx needs to be deployed in a framework. The framework routinely checks its health status by calling an endpoint/url. As long as anything is returned in a reasonable time, it's happy. The problem I am having is that it seems all the endpoints are behind a login. Is there ANY url that's open to public WITHOUT a login? say an "about" page? If not, what's the best way to add such an endpoint? thanks.

Hi,   I have two servers, server 1 with Thingworx foundation trial 8.4 and in server 2 I installed Industrial connectivity trial 8.4, and now when I'm installing Manufacturing Apps trial 8.4 the installator show me two error messages. I attach 2 images with errors and log of installation. Could you help me with that?   Thank you in advance Best regards

Has anyone been able to do a real time scoring in 8.3 by calling 'RealtimeScore' service of 'AnalyticsServer_PredictionThing' Thing? I want to be able to send data constructed as an infotable.    I have a published Analytics Model.
