Here is a question: when I insert data into data Table, how to display data into chart widget and when I update the data from data table, the label chart's data will automatically updated. there is only two parts: data table and mashup widget. 

I am trying to create a Thing template using the base template PTC.ISA95.EquipmentThingTemplate. I am trying to add the following Thingshapes:  1. PTC.Factory.PhysicalAssetThingShape 2. PTC.SCA.SCO.AssetIdentifierThingShape 3. PTC.SCA.SCO.StatusThingShape 4. PTC.ISA95.IdentifierThingShape 5. PTC.SCA.SCO.MonitoredPropertiesThingShape This is mentioned in the Thingworx Apps Customization Guide. However I am unable to add Thingshapes 2,4 and 5. I am getting an error which says "Name Conflict Detected. Cannot add Thingshape". Please resolve this issue.

Hello    I have set up Thingworx environment with Manufacturing Apps and installation went fine. However after adding Wokflow Builder - Console log fails to display and I have message in logs [message: Unable to Invoke Service QueryDataTableEntriesLocalized on PTC.FactoryConsole.DataTable : Invalid format: "permanent"]   For me it looks like the problem is that I have in CurenntLicenseInfo THINGWORX_FOUNDATION twx_utilities_workflows uncounted uncounted 0 8.1 permanent As a expiration date   Did anyone encountered that issue ?

Hello, I defined the status table and one alert basing the same asset property, e.g. status. It happens that the alert is immediately triggered as soon the status property value changes, while the status  changes after some seconds (about 30 seconds). Then for some seconds the Asset Advisor monitor shows the Asset still 'Running' (should be 'Planned Downtime') while the Alert is active. Is this behavior correct? Many thanks Martina

 Hi I am not able to start manufacturing apps on my local machine. I am using a demo version of 90 days and I installed it on 25 March 2019. can anyone tell what can be the problem?

Hi,   I want to know whether we can add our own tiles in the manufacturing apps ?   If possible , how to get that ?    

We're trying to pull process plans from windchill into the operator advisor data model. We configured the necessary things and calling "getprocessplans" on the PTC.SCA.SCO.DefaultMPMLinkODataConnector works. When trying to run the service ConvertFromProcessPlanId and pasting in a processplanid I got from the getprocessplans service however I get the error:   Error executing service ConvertFromProcessPlanId. Message :: TypeError: Cannot find function GetDescribedByDocumentsByOperationID in object com.thingworx.connectors.http.odata.ODataConnector@1867baa3. - See Script Error Log for more details.   When looking in the ODataConnector the service doesn't exist as the error states. When trying to add a route to the service the service isn't found either.   I tried adding namespaces like "Factory" and found some other rest services related to documents but not the one I need.   Does anybody have an idea what we did wrong and why the GetDescribedByDocumentsByOperationID&n

Hello,   I'm trying to add a new "Equipment type" in Manuf Apps, but in the thing: PTC.Factory.C_LaunchPointconfigurationThing_8.3.0_05, I can't find, in the configuration page, the EquipmentTypeSettings table, where I should be able to add a new type of equipment. Thanks for your help.

Hi,   I imported manufacturing apps extensions into the thingworx composer and established a connection with Kepserver . Post this, when i access the URL and login, i am not able to view the relevant tiles there.   Attaching the screenshot of home page post login.   I need  the below tiles: Asset Advisor Controls Advisor Production Advisor Alert Monitoring Trending and Troubleshooting Administration and Configuration    

How I can retrieve and create/send data from/to Windchill (process plan, change request). I have Operator Advisor and Navigate installed in Thingworx.

PFB the topics where I need some clarity. Kindly advice. 1. I have a set of assets in Thingworx already which is connected to Kepware (tag mapping done) and I now need to have all those assets with same properties and tag mapping in Manufacturing Apps. Is there any way I can get it done without creating all those entities manually in Manufacturing Apps. 2. When I connect Kepware with Manufacturing Apps, I could see all the assets in Kepware are created in Thingworx with the KEPServerEX connection name prefixed before the asset name. And i was told by PTC that it is the out of box capability of Manufacturing Apps. If that is the case, is there a way to change the naming convention of asset while creating ? 3. Also when we create assets manually in Manufacturing Apps the things are created in Thingworx with 'Asset'. Can i change this naming convention too ? 4. How to create assets in Manufacturing Apps dynamically from a service in Thingworx Thing.

I installed both Thinngworx foundation server and Industrial Connectivity, version 8.3 trial. The Thingworx foundation server is working well, I can connect to composer in Browser. However, I tried to configure IC to connect to Thingworx, and then get an error:    Date Time Level Source Event1/8/2019 10:50:18 AM Error ThingWorx Native Interface Connection to ThingWorx failed. | Platform = localhost:80/Thingworx/WS, error = could not initialize a secure socket connection.   Thanks a lot!

Hi Developers,   I have a use case where i have 50 assets and from each asset i'm going to configure 10 data tags. Also the data tags from Kepware will be visualized in 6 TV screens and 4 HMI Tablets.   So how can i calculate how much internet speed (upload and Download) is required for the above mentioned use case?     Thanks and Regards, Saran    

Hello all,   We have created MTConnect Client in Thingworx Industrial Connectivity and configured a tag.   In MTConnect for a single tag, we are getting multiple value with different sequence number. PFB PNG for reference.     But in Thingowrx Industrial Connectivity we are getting only one value. PFB PNG     Could any one help me to fix this issue ?   Regards, VR

Manufacturing App has trouble getting the latest values from Kepware. It is updated in Kepware Quick client but not in Thingworx. Found an error in Controls Advisor "TagCountAboveLimit", I do have close to 20K tags. Is the limit 10k for control advisor? What to do if there are more tags than 10k due to large number of machines in one factory. 

I have installed Manufacturing Apps 8.4 on Thingwox 8.4.2-b2151 and I was able to configure the first industrial connector using the Welcome organization. Now I am getting a blank page when I try to connect to the PTC.FactoryConsole and the following error in the application log:   [message: Unable to Invoke Service QueryDataTableEntriesLocalized on PTC.FactoryConsole.DataTable : Invalid format: "permanent"] What could it be?    

Hi, I am using textbox validator widget and when the input is invalid I had given a red colour style definition to the textbox validator property. But when I change the style definition to some other colour, the next time it still appears red (the colour I assigned first). I tried with several style definition but the invalid style still appears the same. How can I resolve this?   Thanks, Shalini V.

I would like to know if the Manufacturing App is capable of launching different types of mashups for different asset types, like cutting machines, forging machine, etc. I want to use “PTC.Factory.C_ProductionHistoricalData_8.4.1_01" as a starting point but have different flavors based on asset types. Thanks. 

Hello everyone   I need to collect the data all time.

But, It not working. Enable properties is change to "True" after I refresh browser.

Hello!          I'm in the process of learning Operator Advisor. Now I can connect to  Windchill  through Odata Connector, but I don't how to  store MPMlink data in PostgreSQL tables ,maybe I misunderstood it.  I wonder how the data in postgresql datasheet comes . Could you give me some examples or demos about OA ?         Thanks a lot.

Hi,   I try to install the free trial, but it fails. Please take a look at the screenshots and error file.   Any idea?   Best regards Timo

Hello,   I am facing an issue while connecting Thingworx Manufacturing App to KepwareServerEx5.2.     I performed below steps   1. Install OPC Aggregator 2. Install Thingworx manufacturing 8.4 3. Create a new Kepware legacy aggregator connection from Controls adviser. (entered Server name as KepEx5) 4. I got set of configuration settings which I need to configure in OPC aggregator. In these settings I find the thing name as KepEx5-GW 5. I entered these settings properly in OPC aggregator - Thingworx tab. 6. When I start the connection, event log shows connected to Thingworx using thing KepEx5-GW. Below are issues 1. However I get error in event logs which states attempted to add "ProductName" failed. Cannot add item "ProductName" 2. When I check under aggregator tab in thinworx controls advisor, status is unconnected. When I go to composer, I can see the thing KepEx5-GW is connected however, KepEx5 is not. How can I get the thing KepEx5 connected to OPC aggrega

Using the guide here: https://developer.thingworx.com/en/resources/guides/configure-manufacturing-apps/monitor-servers-assets-and-devices I have the factory simulator control console open and I can change operational characteristics of assets on the line using the controls.   Asset KPIs seem to update to reflect the changes made with the controls. And the Line rolls up the asset status correctly at first.   I am using the 8.4.0-00-KEPServerEX-Bundle   When I re-enable assets to be fully operational again, the line KPI stays in the state it reported when I took an asset or two into a stopped state. I see green check marks for all assets (e.g. 1-3_CNCMill and 1-3_CNCTurning) but the line stays in the Red X status and reports it is in unplanned downtime. Must you do something to confirm that the line (1-3_Line) should also be in Running state when the assets are running again.

I have a problem with ThingWorx Manufacturing Apps status timeline error since upgrading to ver 8.4. The Status Timeline show "no data", even though the status indicator is "running". I have many assets configured, but I only experience the "no data" error on some. Does anyone know how to fix? Query history services doesn't seem to be fetching the data for some assets.

HI, I have imported the manufacturing apps 8.2 as extensions. In performance metrics, when I try to browse tags to give the expression of status its not showing up any tags and the tags are coming and disappearing in split of second. Without browsing of tags how can I give the expression. Is there any way to resolve this?  2) And is it possible to write operations with tags like: "<browsedTag> = true"    Thanks in advance, Shalini V.
