I need to get a 2D matrix barcode data from a PLC and split them into date, time, part number, cavity number, etc. and then save them into the database. Is it possible to do so?

I am trying to connect an external database from Trumpf Trutops Boost to Thingworx?  Has anyone tried this and were successful? I am using Thingworx 9.3.9 and Trutops Boost 15.06.22.71

Hello everybody.To create custom menus in Thingworx Apps we need to create records in 3 tables, as written in "https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS405431?source=search". They are menucontext, menu and menucontextlink. The first two tables have fields related to tokens. The menucontext table has the displaynametoken and descriptiontoken fields. The menu table has the fields displaynametoken, descriptiontoken and shortdescriptiontoken. The thingworx apps manual talks about some of these tokens very superficially. The menucontext table fields are not difficult to understand. But the others...Could anyone tell me where each of these tokens are used?ps. This doubt is also valid for icons. Where are they used? What are your sizes?Any help will be appreciated.Thanks.

Hi @TanmeyTWX , I'm pretty new to thingworx, I came across this post while searching for the ptc-grid edit, previously by using the legacy grid widget it was pretty easy to use the grid, after upgrading to the new widget finding very much difficult to get the edit cell values(text, number, boolean or any type) I'm able to get only single row from the EditedData property of the ptc-grid. If possible can you put your listings to know how you have achieved the edit options.   Thank You, Balu

I have a JSON project file. I want to import this file to KepServerEx. What steps should get followed? Need help over this topic. 

We observed there is delay between Tag timestamp and current time, to study on this we need to calculate the delay between these two timings. How can we achieve this using advanced tags in Kepware. 

There is use case, where Line chart need to be populated based on the INFOTABLE output only, without any Datashape, as known, Without Datashape DataFields in the Line chart can't be selected and data will not be visible on the Mashup. is there any way, where datashape is not required to populate the data in the Line chart  ?Thingworx version: 9.3 @c_lowy @slangley @CarlesColl @paic @VladimirN Thanks,Shashi.

Hello community,   While doing tests on creating/deleting projects, I am trying to use the following function: let url = '.../Thingworx/' + entity.type + "s/" + entity.name var params = { headers: { "appKey": appKey, "Content-type": "application/json", "Accept": "application/json" } /* JSON */ , url: url /* STRING */ }; Resources["ContentLoaderFunctions"].Delete(params)   For some reason though it is SUPER slow (and seems to be causing me to not be able to delete entities manually in the composer at the same time). I do get the following error in my ScriptLog: JavaException: java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out Eventually though, the entities are deleted and I can see this in the "ConfigurationLog":   Which confirms that the "Administrator" (user used for the AppKey during tests) had deleted the entities.   But what could be the reason for the time out issue?   Thanks, Jens C.

Am I able to install KepserverEX on an Azure server and connect it to a PLC on a network at the factory? I'm using the Modbus TCP/IP Ethernet driver specifically. The PLC will have an internal IP address (e.g. 192.168.1.2), but that is not the public IP address. If Kepware is outside the factory network, then I'll need to use a public IP address when I configure the device, but then I don't know how to direct the connection request to the correct internal IP address. I've seen some questions about using ThingWorx to connect cloud and on-prem systems, but not KepserverEX. Do I need to use ThingWorx to do something like this?

Hi,I want to figure out if there are any built in functions or scripts or flags that are being triggered when I stop the ongoing production in DPM Dashboard.I want to write a script in which when ever we will stop the production I want to change the production count to a static value in the dashboard. So for that I was checking if we could see any services being called or function being called so that I could make appropriate changes.

I'm trying to use a Derived tag to compare a string tag to some static strings and return boolean response for if it matches or not.  I was hoping the logic operator == would do this like it does for numerical values but expression validation returns "String tag expected".  Is there another logic operator to use to compare string values or do I have to do something different? Using KepServerEX 6.14 Thanks!  

Does the operation of PLC continue normally?Considering I imported around 1500 or 2000 tags from different PLCs, how is the impact of the network?         

Hi, I am having a Manufacturing Suite License and it was working great till some days before when I tried to configure Alarms and Event in Kepware Ex 6.14. Just after trial, I removed the configuration in Alarms and Events tab, but still I am getting the message pop up: One or more feature is time limited... I have disconnected and Re-Initialized, even restored old configuration backup, but still it keeps on Popping up... 

Would Thingworx have any functions or information about cybersecurity protocols, documentation, general infrastructure?   Translated by the Community Moderation using Google Translate   O Thingworx teria alguma função ou informação sobre segurança cibernética protocolos, documentação, infra geral ?

Hi Experts, Does thingworx supports video analytics capability from a live feed from CCTV camera to capture operator actions ?Any supporting document would be really helpful. Br,Krishna

Hello community.   I am facing some issues due to service timeout of my service that copies and builds a user usable mashup for connecting kepware tags to things.   The service reads each root tag from an industrial connection and then calls a recursive function to go deeper in the tree.   The issue we have for one of our sites though is that they have an older PLC where they apparently can't decide on which tags should be imported, so they have to import all of them (100k+).   Now, we could increase the timeout from 500 seconds, but I don't see it as a viable solution as what if we get 200k+ tags at some point?   The thing is, they have used some disable setting in Kepware for these tags. So they had thought that they would not end up in Thingworx.   Is there anyway to prevent this? Either in Kepware or in Thingworx?   I tried running the BrowseGroups service on my industrial connection, but there doesn't seem to be anything in the result that we can

I'm developing an application using ThingWorx 9.4.0.  I used the "Package" feature of my Project entity to create a .zip file.  When trying to import into my package as an Extension into our Test/QA platform, I'm getting the following error (redacted bits in <>).Application Log:  Extension Exception: Error parsing /files/ThingworxStorage/extensions/temp/<ProjectName>-1.1.0_<GUID>/<ProjectName>-1.1.0/Entities/ThingShapes/Entities.xml: (88, 37): cvc-complex-type.3.2.2: Attribute 'aspect.isDistributed' is not allowed to appear in element 'Subscription'.   Our Test platform is a HA cluster implementation, so it doesn't make any sense why the project is failing with the error "isDistributed is not allowed".  I verified that it wasn't a problem with this single project by creating a separate test project with a simple subscription and trying to import it to my Test system.  I got the same error.Is this a bug in the platform
