I have created Thingworx extension (Bar Code Generator) in eclipse. I have used external jar - https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/net.sf.barcode4j/barcode4j/2.1  I have added this jar in build path in eclipse. Also added this jar under the lib folder in eclipse. Then run the application as gradle build and created the build. After that while importing the extension in composer, extension is validating successfully but while importing, it is giving an error - Failed to install extension BarCodeGeneratorTwx:1.0.3 because org/krysalis/barcode4j/output/CanvasProvider. Can someone please help here, what exactly I am missing here or I am placing jar in wrong place. Thanks in advance. Attached screenshot of error. 

Hello community,I am reading via OPCUA a variable LLONG. on the OPC Client simulation the variable is visible. when I try to add this variable to the DATA LOGGER , and create a dedicate table for this type of data, there is no way to be able to write on SQL table and start the LOG. the alarm is  Date Time Level Source Event11/11/2024 4:59:19 PM Warning Data Logger Plug-in Failed to register log item 'LogItem1' for log group 'LOG_SCADA_LLONG'. apparently there is no other messages. I setup a LONG value, from a similar or identical OPC device and there was clear indication of the issue.     if anyone has an idea , appreciate. Thanks

It appears empty and even when I tried manually adding the tags it gave me an error message.

Greetings, Community Members! PTC has launched ThingWorx 9.6.0 as of June, and it's now ready for your upgrade! Let's explore the key enhancements in this latest version of ThingWorx.   What are the top three areas of updates in ThingWorx 9.6?   Performance, Scalability, Reliability, and Security: There's a significant boost in file transfer performance between connected devices and the ThingWorx platform. A notable enhancement in server startup performance, with some instances showing an 84% reduction in startup time. Numerous logging improvements, including limitations on log verbosity, log filtration, and configurable log storage capabilities, contribute to the stabilization of the ThingWorx system. Additionally, ThingWorx now supports log extraction to third-party software like Sumologic, Datadog, Splunk, Grafana, etc., utilizing the industry-standard OpenTelemetry framework starting from TWX 9.6. Content Security Policy has been implemented, fortifying ThingWorx

Hi, I do create alerts for properties inside the things like the attached photo, is there a way to log these alerts when it happens into the database, and if yes, how i can query them back, like i want to query something that shows me the alert history for a certain property, thank you, 

My system consists of two Control Logix L83 CPUs and one OPCDA server.I use advanced tags between these systems with both reads and writes to all of the devices.The issue I am encountering is this:When we first start up the system, the links do not synchronize between the systems.I have groups of boolean values in the PLC that have a value of 1 but in the OPCDA server, they remain 0.  If i manually change the state in the PLC from 1 to 0 and then back to 1, the OPCDA server will then show the change.I have tried opening the quick client and performing an async refresh of the cache and device but this does not seem to help. Is there a way to tell the whole system to sync up and ensure the linked tag destination matches the source?

Hi, has anyone had an issue with setting up KepserverEX to read the Modbus kWh address 45100 which is a 32bit float on a IEM3255 energy meter?  KepserverEX reads all the other registers such as Voltage & Current registers which are also 32bit float and returns the correct values.  It won't read the kWh value and just returns a Zero, I've tried toggling Modbus Byte Order, First Word Low, Zero-based addressing and all sorts of combinations. I've even set up a dedicated channel just to read kWh in case there are different settings for different registers but no good.I've tried other SCADA platforms such as Ignition and this reads it fine, so I know I've got the right address.Any help appreciated

Are there any Thingworx Extension developers out there who do not have direct access to there Thingworx (non-prod) server? Our servers are hosted by the PTC Cloud team, so we do not have direct access to the backend.It is not uncommon to be prompted to restart the Thingworx server when trying to import an extension.Cloud Direct offers "Self-Service" features, one being Restart Application. This would be a great feature for this issue, if it worked for all environments. Currently none of the Self-Service features work for our development environment (I am not sure if this affects other Cloud Direct users).  We have a case open about this issue and until it is resolved we have to open a new case for each server restart. I am curious how other TWX Extension developers handle restarting their TWX dev environments.    TIA for sharing!

Hi,   I am looking for a way to connect to Teamcenter and get its data, similar to how we do it for the windchill.   I browsed a couple of articles, and one of them pointed out the OpenPDM ThingWorx CONNECT to Teamcenter": https://marketplace.ptc.com/en-US/apps/204754/openpdm-thingworx-connect-to-teamcenter.   The Link, by the way, is not working, and I cannot find the OpenPDM connector.   Thanks,

I've noticed that in TWX 9.5, a selected row is deselected when they are clicked on again.  How can I prevent this?  I don't want the row to be deselectable unless a different row is clicked on.

Hi all, I found a weird bug that I wanted to bring up. I created a timer that calls every 5 minutes. It does some calculations and sets a few property values. I was making some changes to it, and it started calling the timer subscription randomly or several times at once rather than every 5 minutes as expected. I tried to debug and ended up duplicating the timer and deleting the original one and it now works perfectly fine after making a new one with the exact same services/subscriptions. Any ideas why this would happen? It seemed very strange.

Hi,  i was recently installing thingworx manual through this link https://support.ptc.com/help/thingworx/platform/r9.5/en/index.html#page/ThingWorx/Help/Installation/Installation/install_java_and_apache_tomcat.html#wwID0E2YCO but unfortunately I don't know what I did wrong but the result is when I try to run apache tomcat it shows running in services for a bout 20 sec and then it stops , no errors or warnings or any thing , and it is hard to know where to start from to trace the issue, by the way, I can restart it again from services but it keeps stopping again, i think i did something wrong following the steps but i dont know what is itthanks,

I was using Selected Value Field from Autocomplete widget. Now I imported latest version of Autocomplete and the selected value field is not passing the value to the services. So I reverted to the old extension which was used before this change. Now also selected value field is not present in properties of Autocomplete widget. No logs generated for this. Iam clueless about what is happening here. Anyone can add ideas to fix this as it is causing critical issue in customer environment.    

Thingworx Runtime is resizing wrongly my mashup for mobile, it should use device height or resizing on the vertical and font size is small too.Thingworx version: 9.3.0-b20 Mobile settings:
