Hi All, I am new to ThingWorx Composer. I need to load the database thing dynamically into the mashup based on the user organization permission. For example: I have two things name called Factory1 and Factory2. Factory1 and Factory2 have the same services and properties but different database configuration. If User1 Login, the application needs to load the Factory1 Thing in the Mashup. if User2 Login, the application needs to load the Factory2 Thing in the same Mashup.   Please suggest me on the same.  

The term ‘Extension’ or ‘Plugin’ often has many different meanings. For example, from the point of view of a Product Manager it often means an ‘easy’ way to add additional functionality to an existing piece of software. In contrast, from the point of view of a Software Developer it often means new syntax to memorize, extensive amounts of API documentation to read and very often weeks or even months of trial and error to make this ‘easy’ addition of functionality.  We at ThingWorx recognized that in order to be a true Platform we need to take action to make the creation of Extensions easier at all phases of the process. Our development team took on the challenge of understanding what it is that normally makes this such a difficult process, and try and find solutions.We took to the open source community looking for a Platform that could offer our Extension developers a wide array of functionality that was easily accessible and familiar. This is where the Eclipse IDE comes in. We wer

Hi, I have the same problem, did the issue get solved?

Hi,   I have a custom service on a Database Thing. I want to call that custom service from my Java Extension. My first thought is to do something like this   Thing myDB = ThingUtilities.findThing("MyDataBase"); InfoTable result = myDB.customService();   Is this the correct way?   Thanks, Brandon

Hi, In the OPC Quick Client, Kepware has few default tags like data logger, system tags and scan mode and demotion tags apart from the tags that I create. What is the purpose of these tags? Is there any documentation to learn about these tags and its use? Please provide some ideas.   Thanks in advance, Shalini V.

Hi,   When importing an extension a localization table was inadvertently imported as well. The issue is that this table has the attribute "aspect.isEditableSystemObject="True"" which means that it cannot be deleted from the Composer.   In a similar issue the solution was to export the localization table, set "isEditableSystemObject" to false and import it. However this does not work in this case as the importer ignores the new edited file with the message: "Editable Localization Table Already Exists, Ignoring Imported Object Except for Tokens LocalizationTable [xx] "   Is there any other way to delete this specific localization table?   Thanks in advance, /M

Hello, I would like to know when/how does the Mashup Parameter's changed event is triggered? I have seen that whenever we add any mashup parameter, we also get the 'changed' event corresponding to that parameter. But I would like to know when is that event triggered, is it 'always' or on 'data/value change'. Like for parameters inside a thing we can configure the event by choosing the data change type as value, always, never etc., in similar way is there some way to configure mashup parameter's changed event? I have a case similar to something as in https://community.ptc.com/t5/ThingWorx-Developers/How-to-react-on-submashup-changes/td-p/517353 but not exactly using repeater. Please let me know if some more inputs are needed from my side. Regards Aditya Mittal

Hi,   I have a H2 Thingworx instance and I would like to change the persistence provider to MSSQL.

Hello together,   I want to exchange some experience on how to model a complex machine in the best way. The machines are produced in higher quantities, with different configurable features. Principal Sketch 1) Real World Model Overview     On one hand I can model the whole machine as one ThingTemplate and incoporate all the features via Thing Shapes (for reusability with other machine types that share the common features). Principal Sketch 2) One Big Thing     On the other hand I can model the whole machine by using different Things for the parts and use Services to gater the information from all them. Principal Sketch 3) many small things     I am not sure what is the best way. Maybe someone can share his/her experience on modelling such a job.   Regards Frank
