Question

AutoStart e. g. after Tomcat restart

Dear Community,

 

my Thingworx installation is connected to a KepWare instance. When having a major impact on my connected Things the connection to KepWare is lost. So far this happens

  • after Tomcat restart
  • when modifying the ThingTemplate

Then the IndustrialThing property is still set but the isConnected Flag is false. And this is OK from my point of view, no complains here.

I figured out I can easily run a Service to reset the IndustrialThing for all supposedly connected Things, it will automatically establish the connection to KepWare. But at the moment I need to call this Service manually, i. e. my Things will have no connection until someone (me) takes notice.

 

Is there a kind of "AutoStart" similar to Windows? A set of Triggers/Services or a dedicated Thing that fires after a reboot? Even if there is another solution for my particular problem, I have similar situations (e. g. resetting configuration) and could figure many more where this feature might be helpful.

 

Thanks

Benny

Benny, what version of Kepware you are running? If Kepware 5.20.x you should update to latest  version to avoid this issue per https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article?n=CS279982

Hi Marek,

 

thanks for your reply. We are running V6.5.850.0. But as I said, I can also think of other fields of application outside of this issue.

 

Thanks

Benny
