We are working on upgrading our Thingworx platform from version 8.4.0 to version 9.1.2.  As part of this change we are also switching databases from PostgreSQL version 10.6 (TW8.4) to MSSQL 2016 (TW9.1).  We also have the ThingWorx Manufacturing Apps.   Since we've collected a lot of data, I'm trying to identify the best way to migrate both our Assets model and data.  However, some of our searches turned up concerns in migrating from a PostgreSQL implementation to MSSQL. Particularly these articles (which apply to TW8.4) are of concern:  CS305602 - Is it possible to migrate from H2 or PostgreSQL to MS SQL in ThingWorx?  CS303818 - Migration from other databases to MSSQL is not supported in ThingWorx    Based on these articles, it sounds like the values in the "entity_id" and "source_id" columns of our current "value_stream" and "stream" tables must not exceed 128 characters. Could we get a confirmation on this?  Are there any other cons

Hello, is there any possibility to read files from network drives? try { print(readFileAsString("\\\\10.170.84.24\\Standard\\ProE_standard\\Relace\\Relace PRT.txt")); } catch (e) { print("FAILED: " + e); }  I need to read fresh relations so all models actual relations. The only one place in our company provides relations is network drive.

Hi, Can someone help me to create a relation in a bom to change a parameter to another number for cage_code? I have something at the bottom of the relation in the bom table that is obviously incorrect. I have attached a simple drawing in creo 8. If you can perform the task and return to me then I will understand how it is done. Should only take a guru less than 5 minutes. Wayne

Hi.How can i get display name of Enumeration entry?I can get attribute value using LWCNormalizedObject. But it returns internal name of enumeration entry.Thanks.

I created a Thingworx app that includes a Thing Shape containing a Transformed property (Platform Analytics enabled) based on another property in the Thing Shape.  I used the "Package" feature in my app's Project to export it as an extension.When I attempt to import the package as an extension into my QA server, it fails with this error: Error parsing /<PATH>/ThingworxStorage/extensions/temp/<PACKAGE>/Entities/ThingShapes/Entities.xml - make sure the file was not created with newer version of Thingworx: (370, 30): cvc-complex-type.3.2.2: Attribute 'aspect.dataCollectionMethod' is not allowed to appear in element 'PropertyDefinition'.**PATH and PACKAGE are the path to ThingworxStorage and package name respectively. Looking in the xml, the 'dataCollectionMethod' aspect it's referring to appears to be part of the Transformed property's definition.  I attempted to remove this aspect from the xml manually, zip up the files, and import as package again; I just

Hi,I am looking at converting a large number of legacy mathcad files to mcdx files. When I try to run the converter, it fails pretty much immediately, with an error: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80040CB6): Unknown Error at mcautomation.IMathcadWorksheets.Open(String pFileName) at ConverterLoader.Xmc...Please can you advise what the issue might be here?ThanksJames

I'm relevely new to Mathcad. and today i run into a weird issue.I have created a plot. and the first trace works as expected. The second one... the data is there but it isn't plot the way as i expected.With symbols on i see the dots. but the line in between isn't plotted, and i don't have a clue why it isn't plotted at all.I have tried to change the circle to also have 3 points what works perfect. The example here defines also data and works also. I tried changing data; plot types; etc, but nothing works.I hope somebody here has an idea

Version: Windchill 13.0   Use Case: WGM 13.1.2.0 with Solidworks 2024SP5.0. Opening an NX assembly (version compatible for import) in Solidworks through the workspace doesn't display any bodies. The same assembly - when exported from the workspace to a local drive - opens fine. Description: One of my engineering teams started using Solidworks. I prepared a WGM 13.1.2.0 installation to work with SW2024SP5.0. Most of our CAD data is in NX. Immediately we notice that when trying to open an NX assembly, Solidworks doesn't display any bodies but does display the structure.    However, when we export the NX assembly out of Windchill and open it in Solidworks from C:\ drive, everything opens just fine.    First pass tech support with Solidworks suggests this is a PTC problem on account of the NX assembly opening fine from a local drive.    Has anyone run into this issue? The attachment shows that SW can open the individual parts from the NX assembly and tho

When zoomed into my model, I am noticing significant lag when panning, rotating, and trying to sketch. I did not see this issue previously when using 11. I updated to 12 due to an update of my graphics card but I am still editing a file created in 11. I haven't used Creo in a while, but I don't remember it being like this.The image shows how far away my sketch cursor is from my mouse. After a bit the sketch cursor catches up. Is this behavior normal?

We maintain both Production count and Waste count in an external database. These values are fetched programmatically into RTPPM, as described here: PTC Community – How to update the production count using Production Event UID. In addition, we track rejection part counts with multiple rejection reasons. Our requirement is to update these rejection reasons in RTPPM as well.   The question is: Can multiple waste events be created programmatically under a single Production Event UID to capture different rejection reasons with rejection count?   @mstarnaud 

PTC Mathcad Prime 8.0.0.0I have a function that depends on several variables, and I want to compute the partial derivative with respect to each variable and store the results in a matrix.For example, the variables R1​,R2​,R3​,R4​,R5​,R6​,R7​, and R8​ are known.F(R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, R8)=R5*R4/(R3+R4) +(R7-R8/2)*R1+R6/R2I would like to create a matrix A_dif such that:A_dif(1)= dF/dR1A_dif(2)= dF/dR2………………..A-dif (8)=dF/dR8Can this be done so we do not need to repeat the operation 8 times.

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: Hi, we have got this situation: - "12345" Part Number ( Design) -> New Downstream Part "12345_100" (Manufacturing Plant 1)Description: Now we should create-> New Downstream Part "12345_100" (Manufacturing Plant 2)If I try to create, Windchill tell me that PartNumber already exist,How can we do?Any idea?Best regardsGianpaolo 

We have installed the 30-day trial version of Mathcad. However, when attempting to convert an XMCD file, the conversion option is disabled (greyed out). Because of this, we are unable to proceed with the file conversion. We are not sure why this feature is unavailable in the trial version and would appreciate assistance in resolving this issue.

Hello everyone, Our company has supported the implementation of ThingWorx at one of our partner sites, and the platform has now been running successfully for about a year. We are now preparing to work in parallel on a new project at the same site, which will involve additional development work on the ThingWorx platform.Before we start working alongside the live production environment, we would like to request access to a ThingWorx trial licence. This would allow our team to explore, test, and practice the required development tasks in a safe environment, ensuring that we build the necessary confidence and avoid any risk to the running system.I have already attempted several times to contact the sales team through the official website, but unfortunately I have not received any response yet.If someone from PTC or the community could advise us on how to obtain a trial licence or direct us to the appropriate contact person, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much in

If we have only the XBOM transformation and dont have the MPMLink installed will we get access to OOTB com.ptc.windchill.mpml.algorithm ?

I installed Arbortext Styler 8.3 on Windows 11 and the application launches correctly. However, when I double-click an XML file from Windows Explorer, Arbortext Editor opens automatically and the file fails to open due to a licensing issue. How can I configure Windows so that XML files open directly with Arbortext Styler when double-clicked in Windows Explorer?

I'm trying to simplify a model and I'm not sure how far to go or how much it is worth my time.  I'd like to know if there is a way to analyze how my simplification of a part or assembly affects the graphical performance.  For example if I take out the inner surface of all the tubes is that better than simply focusing on removing the holes.If there was a way to create an analysis that tells me you model has ___ number of faces that might go a long way with knowing how my different simplification methods are improving model performance.That or if there was a way to do an analysis that say your model is using ___ GPU memory.Does anyone from the community know how to do such an analysis?   

Windchill 개념 증명(POC)을 실행해야 합니다. 이전에는 "데모 카탈로그"라는 곳에서 데이터를 구할 수 있었는데, 더 이상 이용할 수 없는 것으로 알고 있습니다. 혹시 데모 데이터를 가지고 계신 분이 있다면 공유해 주시면 감사하겠습니다. 그리고 Windchill의 기본 설정부터 최종 설정까지 모든 내용을 다루는 종합 설치 가이드를 어디에서 찾을 수 있을까요? 고객센터에서 받은 설치 가이드는 너무 복잡합니다. 더 자세한 자료가 있다면 공유해 주시면 감사하겠습니다.  

I’m using the bar chart widget with 3 data series. Is it possible to configure a navigation mashup popup so that it appears only on one particular data series (instead of the whole chart)?

Hi everyone, I am currently working on a use case where we have multiple repositories, and each path contains around 25 images, each with a file size of approximately 400 KB.The customer would like to retrieve (“auslesen”) these images via an API from ThingWorx. Before I implement the solution, I would like to get some best-practice recommendations from the community: My Questions What is the best way to prepare and serve many images via API in ThingWorx?Should we use: LoadBinary for each image, LoadImage, SaveImage / Base64 output, or another recommended approach? Is it more efficient and possible to: Return image streams directly, Convert them to Base64, Or provide download URLs (e.g., via Content Caching)? Are there performance concerns when retrieving 25×400 KB = ~10 MB per request from a ThingWorx server?Any recommended throttling, batching, or pagination strategies? Goal We want to provide the customer with a clean, fast, and scalable API that allows the

Hello ThingWorx Community, I am currently working on ThingWorx version 9.6.2-b447 and would like to take a complete backup of the entire ThingWorx application. I am looking for guidance on: How to take a full backup of ThingWorx (Things, Thing Templates, DataShapes, Mashups, Services, Extensions, etc.) Best practices for backing up: ThingWorx platform entities Database (PostgreSQL / SQL Server) File repositories Extensions and custom code Whether export/import, Source Control, or Platform backup tools are recommended for a full application backup Any version-specific considerations for ThingWorx 9.6.x The goal is to have a reliable backup that can be restored in case of system failure or used for migration to another environment. If anyone has step-by-step guidance, official documentation links, or real-world best practices, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help!
