ThingWorx DevOpsBy Victoria Firewind,  IoT EDCThis presentation accompanies a recent Expert Session, with video content including demos of the following topics:   found here! DevOps is a process for taking planned changes through development, through testing, and into production,   where they can be accessed by end users.   One test instance typically has automated tests (integration testing) which ensure application logic is preserved in spite of whatever changes the developers are making, and often there is another test instance to ensure the application is usable (UAT testing) and able   to handle a production load (load testing). So, a DevOps Pipeline starts with a task manager tasking out planned changes, where each task will become a branch in the repository. Each time a new branch is created, a new pipe is needed, which in this case, is produced by Docker Hub.   Developers then make changes within that pipe, which

Hi,I am developing a Scanner Widget for ThingWorx using HTML5QRScanner. For some reason it can´t start automatically with the built in api when using the scanner within thingworx.What does work on the other hand is when using plain html/javascript outside of thingworx. So I thougth that this problem would be possible to circumvent with a webframe-widget, but then I would need a way to extract information from the page in the webframe. My question: is it possible to get some kind of output out of the webframe-widget, or to access the page in the webframe from thingworx?RegardsOskar Berntorp

Hello, everyone,I need some advice. My goal is to send telemetry from OSI PI to Thingworx. Browsing the internet I have read various solutions to answer my question. I wanted to ask you, the community, for a solution for data transmission, which is not using the Capula connector, and whether these proposed solutions have additional licensing costs. Thingworx Version: 9.0.3 Thank you

Hello everyone, today I came across this strange error. When I try to search a Form for a Project, Group or User, I can't display the entities on my Thingworx server.I can't understand why, has this ever happened to you?

Step 3: Important Factors  Step 3: Important Factors If the company cannot ship or deliver their products fast enough, that will cause food waste and less revenue. At the same time, having nonstop access to meaningful data about the logistics side of the company provides a new level of decision-making capabilities. Let’s first see what some of the pitfalls are that causes bad logistics or room for improvement. We can keep these items in mind as we work on our application. Customer behavior – More attention can be put on how customers are shopping in certain areas. It’s not enough to know what areas are buying the most products and send them more shipments. Deadhead miles and load management will help save unnecessary costs.Shipment tracking and route planning – The traveling salesman problem is one that scientists have been working on for ages. There is no one solution to this problem, but there are many bad ones. Planning methods and routes is almost magic, bu

Step 2: Creating Machine Templates  Step 2: Creating Machine Templates Creating machine templates allows us to have specific levels of consistency with all of our machinery, no matter the purpose of the machine. As it goes towards more specific a machine, it will have it's own unique features and properties. In the ThingWorx Composer, click the + New in the top left of the screen. Select Data Shape in the dropdown. In the name field, enter Fizos.MachineInspections.DataShape and set a Project (ie, PTCDefaultProject). Click Save. All of our machine inspections will be based on this Data Shape.Add the list of fields below:NameBase TypeAspectsDescriptionGUIDGUIDPrimary keyString used as unique identifier for the inspectionFactoryIDInteger0 minimumFactory identifier at time of inspectionDateRequestDateN/ADate the inspection was requestedDateCompletedDateN/ADate the inspection was completedReportJSONN/AThis will hold

Hello Communtiy, For some time now I have been using the "Export as Source Control Entities" function and SourceTree when I want to save something in our internal source control system. However some of my colleagues use the PTC(?) built Git Mashup for the same functionality. What I have noticed is that when someone has used the Git Mashup for source control, the XML contains a "password" in the <Entities> universal tag.But when I have exported it using the Source Control Entities function the <Entities> universal tag is empty. This causes some quite annoying issues when trying to actually see what has been changed between commits as every single entity now looks changed. Does anyone have any ideas on what causes this? I suppose as a workaround I could add the "password" value in the tags manually. But if possible I would rather not. Thanks,Jens

Hi everyone, Does anyone know how to use SSO in TWX with OKTA as IdP? Thanks in advance, Caio 

Hi Team, I am looking to better understand/ best practice of storing PLC tag data from the machine,I am using Azure SQL as a persistence provider. Current architecture.We are logging roughly 100 tags (might scale to ~500) from one machine into the value streamWe have 10 such machines (planning to scale to ~50).We are logging the data in value stream to show data in the dashboard for monitoring like temp, head pressure etcDashboard can show data for 2days Then pushing rest of the data to datalake to have more historical data.With above configuration, we are getting around 3500 tags every min for 1 machine, When we scale to multiple and more tags, this number will surely grow and value stream being a table isn't able to handle. What are the different logic you use for this architecture ?What are best practises?Is having only parallel Azure IOT event hub to push data to datalake? Please suggest!

I wanted to provide runtime permission to non admin and non member of ComposerUsers group to view the mashup and able to run the application. I have created Organization, in that organization, I have added user group which consists of the user for whom the app should be visible and executable. So as per the article - https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS341872  I have applied the required permissions. But for that user getting error as - Exception in WHR.EngPortal.Base.Thing::GetAdminPanelSections:TypeError: Cannot call method "CreateInfoTableFromDataShape" of null Note - for the Thing - WHR.EngPortal.Base.Thing I have provided the visibility permission, runtime permission and design time permission for that organization and user group. PFA screenshot of the same, but still I am getting this error. And for admin user, it is working fine. Also even when I add this user group or user to the ComposerUsers group at that time also It is working fine. Unable

Hi All ! I'd like to ask if you can help me solving my problem.(Thingworx 9.3) I have a Grid where the user can edit data. Data is saved to MS SQL database upon SAVE button. I want the users to use their login name and password for performing the save action, -> the concept would be a pop-up window to confirm the save,-> only if passsword matches the username, the data is saved to the database, otherwise it would notify user for invalid password and he can try again. -> by cancelling the signature process or closing the pop-up window, the save must not happen. Could you please advise how to make such "electornic signing" proccess ? Any advise on how to do such logic is greatly appreciated !  I've already made a mushup for signature purpuse , but cannot figure out how to pass/bind the "result" of the password validation from the pop-up mashup back to the mashup which triggered the pop-up. 

Hi everyone,   My question is suppose we have an Infotable like the below one.     Now what I want is filter these data based on Gender and School  Requirement: Like we have two dropdown in the mashup UI  one for Gender and another for School now if user Select any of the dropdown data should be filtered in the grid according to selection in the dropdown   please let me know how can I configure it in Thingworx 8.5 version   If Possible please share the exact solution  please share binding as well   Best Regards, Rayon.  

Hi everyone.I need to display in the same chart two data series. The common X-axis will be time of the entry and one Y-axis will display data using Bar-Chart, the second Y-axis will display data using Line-Chart. As you can understand, they should overlap in the same widget.We currently using Thingworx 9.3 and after I read article CS323245 I learned that only Label Chart is capable to do it.Our production team is concerned about it usage since its already marked as 'Legacy', and would probably cause troubles if we decide to update TW to next version.Is there any default/well maintained alternatives we can use?Thanks.Illya.
