Hi, it been a while since I used KepServer and I have a new project scope that's got me scratching my head a bit. We have a requirement to automate production test data acquisition where there is nothing currently in place. There are no OPC enabled drivers at all for the instrumentation types that we use. We're building the back office tooling (SQL DB, internal web services etc) to support quite complex product assembly and testing, where manual data entry is needed. The final step is to provision device level integration to bypass the need for manual data entry. Typically, the multiple (5) USB devices are tethered to a local PC, each with proprietary data communication. I'm looking for a confident way forward. The concept I'm working with is to centralise the data on an instance of KEPServerEX, with local OPC servers running on the PC hosts that harvest the production data from the locally connected devices. KepServerEx is the product I know from the past, I am only jus

Hi, I have a problem with embed thingworx9.4 in angular, I have followed the configuration that appears in ptc (https://support.ptc.com/help/thingworx/platform/r9/en/index.html#page/ThingWorx/Help/Composer/Security/AllowingEmbeddedMashupsiniFrames.html) but it keeps blocking the connection. I attach images of the current configuration and the result of the console. The console shows me the frame-ancestors 'self' and the allow-from, I guess it should only show the allow-from.     

I am attempting to display a Mashup in SalesForce through an iFrame and have set the below properties to the iFrame: referrerpolicy="origin"sandbox="allow-downloads allow-forms allow-popups allow-same-origin allow-scripts"ancestors="self" Along with this we have also whitelisted the SalesForce URL in ThingWorx that is mentioned in this documentation. After doing the above changes when I am navigating to the iFrame I get the below authentication display which passes successfully and I am able to open the mashup in a new tab.  However on that mashup if I attempt to invoke a Remote Session I get the below error:  Refused to frame ''because it violates the following Content Security Policy directive: "frame-src https://company--test.sandbox.lightning.force.com". I am a bit confused as to how this issue is coming in the new tab window? Any pointers? Thanks,Ashish Tamhane
