Hi Folks, I have a requirement to download the files of Windchill objects into Thingworx repository. I am getting the Link of files inside Thingworx using Odata Connectors. I am able to generate the file in Repository but when I try to open the file getting error "Failed to load PDF document." Below is the code I am using :// result: JSONlet inputJson = Things["ptc-windchill-integration-connector"].downloadAsZip({respondWithZip: false /* BOOLEAN {"dataShape":""} */,$expand: undefined /* STRING {"dataShape":""} */,    objectId: <objectId>}); // result: JSONlet csrf = Things["Thing.ODataConnector.ProdMgmt_TH"].GetCSRFToken({$select: undefined /* STRING {"dataShape":""} */});      item = inputJson.items[0];let params = {url: <file_url> /* STRING */ ,headers: {"CSRF_NONCE": <Nonce token>,                "Accept": "*/*",                "X-Requested-W

Based on my experience in the majority of large companies there is a huge need to connect different tools from different vendors. The discussion I would like to launch in this context is: can ThingWorx be used as the tool "integrator" between PTC and 3rd parties tools? Example of a use case: collector \ integrator between Windchill and a 3rd party tools (ALM -requirements management system > keep the link across  artifacts from different tools platforms and keep traceability (changes impacts \ alerts)

I'm a student currently working on a learning project related to IIoT, and I need the ThingWorx trial installation package(with a valid license) for testing purposes.Could you please guide me on how to apply for the trial access and download the installation package? Any links or steps would be greatly appreciated.Thanks a lot!

I just installed V7 Data Logger and would like to be able to import 4,000+ log items.  The connectivity suite has export/import capabilities. I don't see it for Data Logger.  Is there a way to manipulate the log items via JSON, REST api, or other method?

Hi, I am adding a new Mitsubishi Ethernet iQ-R series PLC to an existing FTView SE SCADA which is using Kepware for comms.  The issue is the addresses I need to add to the new Kepware config have not been mapped into contiguous blocks and are widely spread about.  Will this be a problem if I create static tags in Kepware with such scattered addresses ? When I began working on SCADA systems in the 90's I was always told that any data that was to be read or written to by SCADA should be mapped into contiguous blocks, otherwise you would end up getting multiple read transactions which would affect comms performance.  Is this still valid today with fast Ethernet and multi core CPU's ?

Hi everyone, I am running ThingWorx Flow 9.3.10 and I’m hitting a wall trying to fix an expired self-signed certificate. The Issue: My self-signed certificate for Flow expired, so I needed to regenerate it. I followed the official guide here: CreateSelfSignedCertificate.htmlI generated the new files, placed them in the SSL directory, and restarted the services. However, Flow is now failing to connect. Symptoms:Redirect Loop: When I try to open the ThingWorx Flow app, it automatically redirects me back to the ThingWorx Composer.Validation Error: When I run ValidateFlowSetup in the WorkflowSubsystem, I get:[FLOW-API-01] - Failed to connect to Flow: Internal Server ErrorLog Error: The flow-exchange module logs show this error, which suggests a trust issue:{"module":"flow-exchange","timestamp":"...","level":"error","message":"unauthorized access"}It seems like the internal services aren't accepting the new certificate I generated. Has anyone experienced this? Is there an ext

I can't find an explanation of how this filter works in order to explain to users how to use it.  If I type "abc" into it will it return all rows where any cell has a value starting with abc?  

Hello I have followed all the steps as mentioned in the article, I have installed the new tomcat 9.0.110 but my thingworx is still redirected to older tomcat version if I stop that thingworx page is not loading Two questions 1) do we need to use older(9.0.88) web.xml and server.xml and copy into new tomcat webapps 2) I was not able to understand point 6 in the article https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS272588 as it says directly copy the older ones and paste into new tomcat folder VS Point 19 and 20 says that we need to edit web.xml and server.xml https://support.ptc.com/help/thingworx/platform/r9/en/index.html#page/ThingWorx/Help/Installation/Installation/install_java_and_apache_tomcat.html#wwID0E4KGM do we need to remove the older tomcat folder from C:\Program Files (x86)\ThingWorxFoundation\tomcat

I observed something strange when working with Run Time Instance permissions on a Thing Shape and wanted to ask if this is expected behavior or a potential bug.  To demonstrate I'll propose a scenario.  I am using ThingWorx 10.0.Created entities:TestUSR - User for testing access.TestTS1 - Contains property "TS1Prop" and service "TS1Service"TestTS2 - Contains property "TS2Prop" and service "TS2Service"TestTT - Template inheriting GenericThing template. Contains property "TTProp" and service "TTService"TestThing1 - Thing inheriting TestTT template. Contains property "ThingProp" and service "ThingService"Now I configure permissions on TestTS1 only.  The rest of the entities will not have any permissions configured.Grant 'Property Read' and 'Service Execute' run time instance permissions to TestUSR.  See below.Now I run Access Report for TestThing1 for user TestUSR.  This initially looks fine, but when I dig into the Specific Permissions by clicking

Does any one here know how to display ThingWorx mashup on TV using a digital signage tool AppSpace?  

For Thingworx 10.0.0 in the line chart widget... I am trying to limit the number of x axis labels. I see this is possible if the x axis type is numeric or date type. However, with string type, the property numberOfXAxisLabels is not visible. Is there a way to limit this somewhere when the x axis is a string type?

Hi Community,  I am using Thingworx 9.7.1 version and I have this Show/Hide Log error reproducing on page load which I am not able to debug which says  "An error occurred which accessing property NoBindingIcon and NoBindingText". PFA the screenshots attached for reference.  I am using a master mashup with side panel with a grid, upon row selection it loads a collection of cards.Can anyone tell me why this error is appearing?  Let me know if any further details are required.

I am using a Line Chart widget in ThingWorx Mashup to display time-series data. I would like to add a trend line (for example: linear trend / moving average) on top of the existing line chart to show the overall trend of the data. Is there any built-in option in ThingWorx Line Chart to enable a trend line?If not, what is the recommended approach to implement a trend line?

Hi every one!I’m experiencing an issue with Advanced Tags in our Kepware project and need guidance.Setup:Kepware version: [KepserverEx 6]Channels: K1,Devices: PLC1,Source tags: Boolean / WORD tags under devices (quality = GOOD in OPC Quick Client)Advanced Tags: created in the global “Advanced Tags” folderAliases: created pointing to Advanced Tags and mapped to the corresponding deviceProblem:All Advanced Tags show BAD quality in OPC Quick Client.Source tags themselves read correctly and have GOOD quality.Even a simple Advanced Tag referencing a single Boolean tag shows BAD quality.The “Mapped To” option is only available in the Alias — the Advanced Tag itself has no “Mapped To” field.We want to confirm:If this is the correct setup for reading Advanced Tags via OPC/AVEVA.Whether there are any licensing, runtime, or configuration steps we may be missing that prevent Advanced Tags from evaluating.Thank you for your guidance.

Hi all,Just can't get my head around one thing!I am using Kepware to log a group of tags -more than 1000 tags-  apparently, Kepware’s DataLogger logs the entire group when any tag in that group changes. However, what I need is logging only those tags that have been changed not the entire group! I've done some research and ended up with enabling OPC UA in my project and using a Python code to log only the tags are changed! I was wondering if there is any other way except changing configuration of the project which I prefer to put it in bottom of my list!Any help much appreciated!

I am trying to send a file to an AWS S3 bucket via an API call.  I am able to send the file when I use Postman, but I am unable to send it via Content Loader Functions.  I am assuming my configurations may be incorrect.   When I send the file through Postman, I do the following: select PUT as the method paste the URL into the request URL (this automatically populates the parameters under Params tab) under the binary tab, select binary and the file to upload click on the Send button The following is my service to send the file via Content Loader Functions: // Content: BLOB var Content = Things["SystemRepository"].LoadBinary({ path: "/directory/subDirectory/someFile.csv" /* STRING */ }); // result: BLOB var result = Resources["ContentLoaderFunctions"].PutBinary({ proxyScheme: undefined /* STRING */, headers: undefined /* JSON */, ignoreSSLErrors: undefined /* BOOLEAN */, useNTLM: undefined /* BOOLEAN */, workstation: undefined /* STRING */, useProxy: undefined /*
