Hello ! Background :My application has several mashups that are loaded onto computer screens to display information. These computers start up automatically at the beginning of the day, then a script loads a mashup link. The link contains an Appkey, linked to a virtual user with rights to view the mashup. So these screens have no real user in front of them, they're just there to give information to people looking at the screen.Note that I have several different screens in different locations. Each screen works like this, using the same Appkey, linked to the same virtual user.   Problem:After a while (more than an hour), a login pop-up appears at the top of the mashup (see screenshot). The application continues to run in the background, but the pop-up is still there. I don't understand why the mashup requires a login, when it's still working and has an Appkey.   Solutions tried :I've tried changing the mashup session ID at regular intervals (every 5 minutes). I thought that if

Hi! I'm trying to post to thingworx.  Is it posible without creating the thing via post?   Is there an easier way to send JSONdata from a node.js application to ThingWorx?   Thanks for the help 🙂

This post will show you an example on how to use the DBConnection Building Block on a TWX 9.3.4+ instance.Sometimes you need to store data in ThingWorx, but none of the existing capabilities (Thing properties, Streams, ValueStreams or DataTables) really fit your use case and your best option is to directly use SQL. Previously, you had to do this manually, but now you can use the DB Connection Building Block which is part of the Common Building Blocks and is freely available. This way, you can also leverage the Building Block (BB) concept, the go-to architecture pattern to create reusable, shareable software components in Thingworx. While there is comprehensive documentation available around BBs, it is quite technical, and the idea of this article is to give a jumpstart with an easy and simple example. (Please note that when you are on ThingWorx 9.3.7 or newer, this process becomes drastically simpler, so if you're here just for the quickest results, you might want to check my foll

Hello All,      I have a datagrid widget in which i am showing some entries as you can see in the picture below i can choose which parameter to show and which do not. when i select the parameters and save changes then it appears and shows me but then when i open the mashup next day again then its again gone and do not show me the parameters which i have selected to display on the mashup in datagrid. I want the parameters which i selected to show me always there until i do changes. anyone has an idea about it?    

Good day all, I have a table that contains a timestamp field.I want to replace the values in this field with a specific dataDifference calculation that I make. The two dates that I use to find the difference are inputs.I have written the code below. It seems like the issue occurs when I assign the new timestamp value to the table.  if (testMode) {    // Get data directly from the property for testing purposes    searchTable = Things["ThingName"].ChartData[0].Data;} else {    searchTable = data;}  let params = {t1: searchTable /* INFOTABLE */};let clonedTable = Resources["InfoTableFunctions"].Clone(params);  // Find the row in searchTable with the matching timestamplet searchForTimestampRow = clonedTable.Find({timestamp: currentTimestamp});if (searchForTimestampRow) {    // Calculate duration    let duration = dateDifference(currentTimestamp, otherTime);     // Update the duration fi

Needed to copy some properties from one Thing to other. To avoid manual work, created Service with AddPropertyDefinition (later wanted to add service to copy values). It creates no error when running first time, but properties are not generated. So, started script - and it answer "Property [name] already exists".Manual refreshing of Thing in web service does not help. Restart Thing by code also makes no difference. Here is sample code: myList = me.GetPropertyDefinitions({category: "MyCategory" /* STRING */,type: undefined /* BASETYPENAME */,dataShape: undefined /* DATASHAPENAME */}); for each (var x in myList.rows) {Things["MyThing"].AddPropertyDefinition({indexed: undefined /* BOOLEAN {"defaultValue":false} */,defaultValue: undefined /* STRING */,remoteBindingAspects: undefined /* JSON */,description: "my desc"/* STRING {"defaultValue":""} */,readOnly: undefined /* BOOLEAN {"defaultValue":false} */,type: 'INFOTABLE' /* BASETYPENAME */,remote: undefined /* BOOLEAN {"defa

Hello community,Is there a way to check what the real error is in KEPServerEX for SQL diagnostics? This doesn't help at all:Date Time Level Source Event12/08/2024 16:39:18 Error Data Logger Plug-in Unknown error while executing query in table 'mytable' for log group 'datalog-azure'. I am guessing it's something about security/privileges since I am trying to log data in an Azure database.I am able to see tables, columns when I am mapping the data but unable to write values to table.Using app version 6.16 (V6.16.203.0)  Any help is appreciated. Cheers, 

Hi,   I have changed the port to 80 in the server.xml:   When I looked into the Catalina.out, I get the below error:   Does anyone know the solution?   Thanks,

In TWX 8.5, it was possible to enable sorting for all fields in advanced grid widget without enabling it for each field. In TWX 9.5, the new grid widget requires the sort functionality to be enabled individually for each field in grid configuration. Is there a way to make all fields sortable without enabling it individually for each field in grid configuration?

Dear PTC,We are in the process of planning an AM deployment. The purpose of this discussion is to gain a comprehensive understanding and documentation of the capabilities of PinkFederate and ADFS, as well as the differences between the two.Background Information:We configure an Windchill to Denodo connection on our network utilizing PinkFederate and OAuth2.We seek your expertise in determining the most suitable approach between PinkFederate and ADFS for our requirements and can we do the same setup using ADFS.Thank you for your assistance.

I am trying to configure Datalogger and keep running into issues in the configuration. I have created my DSN correctly and it successfully passed the connection test. But whenever I try to select the table name, the dropdown list does not show any of the tables in my database. I attached a screenshot of what shows up in the dropdown.

Hi, I'm Refsam Maulana, a technician who is working using the kepware applicationI have a question about kepware, related to OPC DA Client on a domain system. How to make computers that have different IP scopes, but in one domain to be read on the client's computer? Or is there a way to add servers manually instead of choosing from the Microsoft network?Me and my coworkers still haven't figured out how to read the servers on computers that have different ip scopes but in the same domain.    Hoping to get a solution 

Hi, I am using a date picker widget on a popup  on ThingWorx 9.5, for some reason when I select a data from the calendar, the pop-up closes automatically. Is it a known bug? and is there any work around? Thanks in advance.

I'm currently installing Thingworx server on linux.While installing the database i notices the following: 6. Configure pgAdmin:$ sudo pgadmin4◦ In pgAdmin, click on file->Open postgresql.conf◦ Open /etc/postgresql/x.x/main/postgresql.conf◦ Put a check next to listen addresses and port. The default settings of localhost and 5432 are usually sufficient.◦ Save and close.◦ Click on file->Open pg_hba.conf◦ Open /etc/postgresql/x.x/main/pg_hba.conf◦ Double-click on the database ‘all’ line with address 127.0.0.1/32◦ Set Method to md5◦ Click OK◦ Save and exit◦ Close pgAdmin(Sorry i'm unable to quote!!) I'm not happy that MD5 is used for Hashing. MD5 is not a really secure algoritm anymore and i would like to use Sha-2 (what is current default) if possible! Is this possible? if Not Why...More info on MD5:https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/19906/is-md5-considered-insecure https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/md5-vs-sha-1-vs-sha-2-which-is-the-most-secure-encryption-hash-an

Good morning, I have a problem connecting to some OPC UA Clients.Sometimes I get this warning:Warning OPC UA Client XYZ.B&R | Read request failed on device. | Status description = 'The operation timed out.', Status code = 0X800A0000.When it happens some tags are in 'Unknown' quality and until I force a synchronous write the status cannot return to "Good" status. I tried to change "Asynchronous Reqst Timeout", but increasing it immediately returns the value to the default of "1000". Let me know please.Thank you.Regards

I am working on a solution that involves creating tags using the Kepware Configuration API. I have been able to find documentation for and create normal tags, but I can't seem to find any information on how to create Advanced Tags using the API. I have looked through the Advanced Tags help guide as well as the Kepware Server help guide but it doesn't have any documentation on how to create advanced tags using the API (unless I am missing it somehow). Can anyone confirm if advanced tags can be created from the API and if so is there documentation on how to construct the API call? If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I have upgraded KepServerEx.V5 to V.6. It can communicate with ControlLogix before upgrading. After upgrading to V.6. 

Hi all, Fairly short question, but is there a way to get all tags among all tag groups on a kepware device using the configuration API? I am finding that I need to be specific in my API calls and specify the tag group, but I'd like to be able to get all of the tags for the device in one call. Thanks!

Lately I have been working with some UI widgets extensions. It seemed to be a repetitive task to do the initial developments, version it, deploy , look for bugs and repeat. So I thought of develop an Eclipse IDE plugin (As is the primary IDE supported for extensions development), which can automatically increase the path number of the extension, build it and upload to a target Thingworx server, preferably Development. Attached is the jar file of the plugin that you can use with eclipse. If interested you can follow the following steps and try it out,1. Download the .jar file and put it into drop-ins folder of your eclipse IDENow restart the Eclipse IDE, Once restarted you will see a new icon in the toolbar of your IDE, You can now use the plugin, on click of this the following download would appear, In the dialog, select the extension project, set the server address, and add an appKey with Admin level access, don not forget to click on Update TWX details. That would store the

I am using ThingWorx Platform Release 9.2 and DatecodeSP6Hi,Regarding the case Article - CS250386, to update element in the Configuration table of a Thing by custom script service, we should enable and restart the Thing after calling SetConfigurationTable. This documentation is available for Thingworx until 8.4. Is it really what we have to do to update the Thing Configuration? We didn't find anythhing about that in the documentation.What about the next version (9.2 -> 9.5)?

Hi,  I am trying to use the validation inputs for a text box widget. If I manually set these parameters then it works as intended and looks like this:  But if I try to bind validation functions to these parameters for when the text box has a comma, then it simply doesn't work. I have already verified that my service is working correctly and is bound to the properties correctly, but for some reason it just doesn't work when I bind it over on validation. Any ideas?
