IoT & Connectivity

Goal: I have multiple OPC UA Clients who will connect to the OPC UA Server (Kepserver). Trust every client is getting difficult. I cannot make the Security Policy to "None".I have created a common CA. Created a server pfx file and imported in Kepserver in OPC UA Configuration Manager>Instance Certificates. Imported the CA.dar file in Trusted Client List.I have created certificates and private keys for Uaexpert and signed them with the same CA.Created CRL and pasted in C:\ProgramData\Kepware\KEPServerEX\V6\UA\Server\crlStill I am facing problem while connecting.Is it possible to do this? Is there any other process to achieve the goal? Please guide me.

Hi, I have an extension which contain one service where data from csv file is loaded into an infotable and service return type is infotable. Service throws custom exception if anything fails or data is not valid in csv.  In thingworx, I am calling the extension service using a snippet service, now I need to validate the service response whether the response contains an infotable or is an error message returned from the service. Incase of error, I need to show it on mashup to end user. The issue is how to validate the response  whether its an infotable or an error message. Appreciate help in advance.

I provided text field widget with Mask Number. This field is displaying '-' symbol as default. Whenever I typed first digit the symbol '-' replaced with digit. But if the digit value passing from binding, then this widget is displaying '-9' Even though if the passed value is positive it is showing the digit after the symbol -. As i dont have option to use disable property in numeric entry widget, i have to go ahead with textfield with mask.  Kindly tell me how to overcome this symbol - when numeric value is passed from parameters.  

I have used KepServEX for many years without issue - but running the latest version for some reason the I/O addressing is backwards. Digital Inputs are controlled with %Q - does anyone know why this is occuring?

when I used KEPSERVEREX 6.16 for customer First it failed to automatically tag generate device (ODBC client), than I search in the community, follow the instruction, change settings about runtime process from system service to interactive mode; it can generate the tags of ODBC client. Second I see the service of windows no runtime service, then when windows lock or log off the system automatically it will kill the application but not the service of windows, So are there any solutions to solve it?

Hello, For best practice reason, I am trying to install a second thingworx database for my project.I will have a first database dedicated to my thingworx instance.All data (stream, value stream , datatable..) will be installed in separated database : 'project_db'So the idea is to use thingworx script to install the second database, i am using this article as a starting point :https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS262935 the scripts are:thingworx-model-schema.sqlthingworx-property-schema.sqlthingworx-data-schema.sqlthingworx-grants-schema.sql My questions are : Do I need to install all thingwrox db scripts to install the second database, or I just need to install only thingworx-data-schema.sql script since we only need to store data ?If I have to install only thingworx-data-schema.sql, I notice a lot of table created ? Do I need them all or just a few tables? Can I clean the database and keep only needed tables, if yes witch tables should I keep ?The art

Hello,I have two thingworx (9.3.4) running on 2 differents containers.1- Container 1 is configured on port 80:8080 (NO_TLS = TRUE)2- Container 2 is configured on port 8081:8080  (NO_TLS = TRUE)From my host machine, i run an edge csdkit works perfectly with the first container (port 80) [See log OK]With the second container, i have an error  TW_NEW_SSL_CLIENT: SSL handshake error. Consider verifying you have compatible SSL ciphers, Error was: error:0A00010B:SSL routines::wrong version number. [See log KO]I tried to update the configuration of tomcat but it didn't work Do you have any idea how to use any port except 80 to run the edge Thank you for your help. 

Hi,   I have installed the Thingworx on 8080, but I want to run it on 443, 8080 (HTTP) and 51366(HTTP).   I have changed in the server.xml, but it fails when I add two more connectors: Output of Catalina.out 13:24:47,593 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.classic.LoggerContext[default] - Could NOT find resource [logback-test.xml] 13:24:47,594 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.classic.LoggerContext[default] - Could NOT find resource [logback.groovy] 13:24:47,594 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.classic.LoggerContext[default] - Found resource [logback.xml] at [jar:file:/opt/ThingWorxFoundation/tomcat/apache-tomcat-9.0.52/webapps/Thingworx/WEB-INF/lib/thingworx-platform-common-9.3.0-b20.jar!/logback.xml] 13:24:47,616 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.core.joran.spi.ConfigurationWatchList@5734eaa7 - URL [jar:file:/opt/ThingWorxFoundation/tomcat/apache-tomcat-9.0.52/webapps/Thingworx/WEB-INF/lib/thingworx-platform-common-9.3.0-b20.jar!/logback.xml] is not of type file 13:24:47,659 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.classic.j

Hello,I would like to receive at the exact same time all the tags values from a data logger when one of the value of the list of tags change. To do so, I tried to use the 'Log on data change' from the Trigger but sometimes I have a delay.Do you know what I could change in the parameters of the data logger to receive all the tags at once ?

I am using ThingWorx Platform Release 9.3 and DatecodeSP5We are getting authentication errors intermittently on Edge and Chrome browsers with SAML. This happened over the weekend after a year or more of successful SAML authentication in those browsers. We resolved the issue by increasing the value for "samlAssertionMaxAuthenticationAge" in the sso-settings.json file but still don't understand why the issue started. Can you provide help with understanding what caused this issue to help prevent it in the future?Here are the errors that I faced[ Error validating SAML message ][ Response doesn't have any valid assertion which would pass subject validation ][ Authentication statement is too old to be used with value

Hi, I have a datatable and one of the field is of type PASSWORD , now i edit the field and choose string for it and i can see encrypt value of this field ...and i am saving the value in datatable using  Resources["EncryptionServices"].EncryptPropertyValue(params) and now i want to see the original values of these fields. Is there any way that i can see the original values? I have written a service to get the entries as a REST API and then iterate each entry and get the field password as one long string and using ACCEPT / also but for me its still coming the same encrypted values what it shows in datatable.    my code to add password result.AddRow({loginName: loginName.toUpperCase(),firstName: firstName,lastName: lastName,language: language,emailAddress: emailAddress.toLowerCase(),hashedLoginName: me.SHA256({toHash: loginName.toUpperCase()}),groups: groups,loginPassword: Resources["EncryptionServices"].EncryptPropertyValue({data: me.SHA256({toHash: loginPas

I have a use-case where in users want an option to change languages at runtime but not using the Runtime overview OOTB option of ThingWorx. Has anyone implemented or worked on similar use-cases.

Hey there,   First I want to say that I am rather new to this, just learning my way through an existing system. I don't know a ton about APIs or KEPServer. I've been tasked with taking wireless sensors and retrieving their data through Rest API. The sensors are known as Alta Monnit Sensors. Their web portal showcases a way to retrieve data this way.    They also have a guide on how to receive the data utilizing Postman Now I believe what I want to do is create on IOT Gateway Agent, use "https://www.imonnit.com/json/SensorGet?sensorID=1220966 " as my URL, POST as my method. However from here, if I'm on the right track, I'm not sure how to get the data into tags.   Any advice?

Hi all,I am currently working on having a manufacturing execution system (MES) my company uses to writeback values to one of the PLCs it talks to. Our MES is on a virtual machine, let's call it APP014 & Kepware is also installed on this server. RSLinx/our OPC topic configuration is held on a separate server, called "GE".Our current communications configuration is using Kepware as a middleman to talk to RSLinx (in other words, Local Kepware to Remote RSLinx) so that we can retrieve tag values from our PLCs. This is done as a read only process; we are using these tag values to provide real-time data to our MES. However, OPC writeback has never been implemented.Contacting the OEM of the MES, I am able to writeback tag values to the Kepware OPC server, but I would need a separate functionality that writes the values from the Kepware server back to RSLinx, in order to edit tags in the reverse.Does anyone know a way to perform this?Thanks!

Dear team, I have one query, want to covert binary data from the PLC or OPC 16 bit data word. Is it possible in Kepware using any Advance tag or other driver plugin?  

In Thingworx 9.6 Collection widget, what is the class for selected cell ? 

  In TWX 9.5, the x-axis is not displaying all values.  It seems to be skipping every other value.  I'd like for it to display all values.  I did not see a setting for this in the bar chart configuration.  Is there a way to display all values?

When I open KEPServer it gives me an error that says "Connection attempt to runtime failed" in the event log. Then it times out and gives me a dialog box asking if I want to work offline. The latest project was not showing. I tried to open the project, but it had not been saved. So I tried to open an older project. It opened and I tried to connect the runtime and again it failed. I checked Task Manager and the runtime is running.  I updated the license an hour ago. I got a "Success" dialog box. Does anyone know what is going on and how I overcome this problem? Thank you, Scott

I'm having problems connecting KepserverEX v6.1 to Thingworx v9.3 I can confirm that the pc that kepware is installed on can see the Thingworx server (I'm able to access composer and port query confirms port 443 is open). Thingworx’s Industrial Thing’s Base Thing Template is set to “IndustrialGateway” and the appkey is correct. I have also tried both Host name and IP of the server. This issue is effecting 2x clients both running kepserver v6.1, the reason for the low version number is that both clients were setup 5 years ago to run an Etch line and Penetrant line and we are only now wanting to connect them to Thingworx. Unfortunatly the OEM who did the initial install has gone bust so I'm unable to raise suport ticket via them

Hello All,Can we use AMU without Kepware?Customer does not want to invest in Kepware, so can we have any work around with MQTT or OPC-UA, etc. Use Case: Data will be fetched from a SCADA system and different Dashboard will be developed in Thingworx along with AMU (Asset Monitoring and Utilization).Regards,Javed Akhtar 

Hi, wondering if there is a way to pass a button click in a collection widget cell mashup to the collection widget refresh.   I have a list of items displayed in a collection widget. There is a 'delete item' button in each item's cell mashup. I'm looking for a way to pass the click event on the button back to the collection widget itself so that it can redraw itself with the new list (minus the deleted item).   Currently I manage this by having the delete button set a boolean session parameter to true. In the main mashup I have a timer running (every second) which checks the state of the boolean & if true redraws the collection widget (list). It works, but seems clunky, so would prefer a way to pass the button click in the cell back to the collection widget without having to use a timer. I did try tying a validator to the session parameter, but it didn't appear to trigger when the session boolean changed.   TIA K

Looking for a better understanding of the error we encountered in Kepware: "<DEVICE> | The following errors occurred uploading controller project from device. Resorting to symbolic protocol." We had an issue in our plant where connectivity between Kepware and several Allen-Bradley PLCs were dropping out intermittently due to a networking issue.  Approximately 3 minutes after this event started, we saw the above error message posted for all PLC's involved.  While the message states the "following errors occurred" we never saw an actual message with details.  Just the line above.   For context, all PLC's involved were originally setup with Logical Non-Blocking addressing.  Kepware changing/resorting to using Symbolic addressing appears to have overwhelmed a combination of the PLC, network and driver.  We were unable to recover until we restarted the Kepware server. We've seen Kepware make the switch to Symbolic addressing when
