Solved

I was doing a patch on my test server and ran across an issue where Windchill didn't start.  Ultimately I think it was because of not running the update_tool after completion but the error pointed me to this article... CS197660.  However, I only had one method server.  My question is, do you always have to reduce your method server to one when doing a CPS update or can I leave all the settings alone?  My test server cannot handle more than one method server for me to test this.

My use case consist of machines sending data periodically (when machines are on). I want to predict failures. I created a dataset with computed features for each on cycles and  then create a model on TWA. But features are complexes to compute inside TW, so putting this model to production will be unconvinient. I have 2 questions to make a better/easier use of TW for this use case (and for my personnal understanding of TW) :   Is there a way that Thingworx can handle breaks in time series to create a model? Can Anomaly detection understand this kind of pattern and don't mind of time gaps between the next cycle (see joined image of a normal and failure cycle).  

In my client's project, I put a wiki for general use:1) I created a "Wiki Thing";2) I created a mashup, put a "wiki widget" and binding to the thing using the "Wiki" property;3) A user creates a page called "Ola" and inserts a text on it (fig Wiki1);4) Another user (with the same permissions as the user who created the "page") can only see the title of the page, not the text. (fig Wiki2).Question: Is there a step that I have not taken or do I need to release a service from the thing so that other users can see the entire page published?Thanks.

Hi, I've been working on a project to read dimension & gd&t values from a drawing. I'm successful in reading dimension but not gd&t. Could anyone please guide me how to do it? Thanks

Hello All   I have created services for each LED in order to visualize the data, services work perfectly but LEDS are updated all the time as you can see in the photo below    I added a trigger serviceInvokeCompleted to visualize the updated data but it creates a weird binding each time I try to connect it to my service :    Could you please tell me why that happened, and what can we do to solve this issue   Thank you for your answers  

When using chalk, say on a production line, how far can one walk away from the a Mark, before it is lost, or not accurate to its original location?  has this been tested?

I Started a new hosted trial and it is version 9.0. I am using the same code I used to connect with the old trial except I changed the app key and URI to match the new hosted trial.

Hello PTC Developer Community,   I am looking for Best Practices / Examples how to connect my thing to external platforms like Salesforce where I need to use OAuth 2.0 Client in my Service.  Steps I like to perform: 1) OAuth 2.0 with the platform (Here I am looking for examples and best practices) 2) Post JSON with current Sensor Values from my Thing (e.g. could be AnyDataChange or via Timer) (This is straight foward with Contentloader Function and the Guide)   see also here: https://community.ptc.com/t5/ThingWorx-Developers/OAuth-2-0-using-Thingworx-Content-Loader-Services/m-p/681073#M47082 @praskumar seems to have a similar question.   I started with the Contentloader Function Guide: https://developer.thingworx.com/resources/guides/xml-json-in-thingworx Where I am not sure how I can setup my OAuth 2.0 parameter described here: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_rest.meta/api_rest/quickstart_oauth.htm Any hints how to setup OA

Hi ,   I often get the error "Unexpected error occured on server" when saving service.  I cannot save service anymore as long as the error occurs ,  I have to exit the Edit mode and edit the service again. Even though, the 2nd editing won't assure the save can be successful.     I don't see any related logs when the error occurs, including Thingworx platform logs and tomcat logs.  It's very boring especially when it happens more than 10 times in one hour sometimes.      Any suggestion ?         

I have a simple datatable thing that I am populating and editing successfully with the advanced grid. I am not able to get the widget to delete rows. The datatable does have a primary key. Can someone please tell me how to get this working? I am on v8.5 sp4, and I have seen other threads that say this was a bug that has been fixed in this version. ( cc @slangley )   I have tried binding selected rows ->DeleteDataTableEntryselected rows -> DeleteDataTableEntries deleted table ->DeleteDataTableEntry deleted table-> DeleteDataTableEntries   None of those seem to work.    Thanks in advance.

Hello, it is possible to to isolate an appkey to project or thing on thingworx 8.5.5. If so can you provide a guide please. Thank you.

So we are using Creo 6.0 with Windchill. I need to put ports in my parts. The ports don't change change. I, thinking I was clever, saved sketches of the common ports in an offline folder to reuse. However, if I ever use these saved sketches, Creo deletes them after use. I don't want that. This behavior is obnoxious. (Creo does it with tables too.) I want it to behave like Palette. I'm not allowed to add things to Palette and the port names are generic and will deeply mess up my Windchill workspace. I could save the sketch separately again every time I use it, but that is also more work than I think I should be doing. Is there a way to turn this behavior off?

Hey everyone, I've been working on some automation and techniques related to the Cabling environment, and while exploring these areas, I came across a few questions about Creo's native capabilities.Most examples I've seen will define cables as independent wires. You will have "NEW WIRE_SPOOL"s and "NEW WIRE"s to define an array of wires in a harness model. However, I know its possible to define both cable spools and cable definitions through the NWF file.

Hi,   I have created an infotable property in a configuration table and I have defined this structure in the data shape assigned also but when I try to view the infotable inside the configuration table it says 'must require a data shape defined'. But I have defined a data shape for both the configuration table as well as the infotable property inside the table. Wanted to know why this is occurring for a nested info table even if there is a data shape defined it says must have a data shape. Hoping for a reply soon. Thanks in Advance   With Regards,  Srijith

Hi. Can't get my head around one thing. I am using MFG Apps for Planned/Unplanned downtime mashup based on the equipment status id coming from PLC. While the control advisor mashup has expressions for distinction between planned and unplanned downtime it has no means for drilling down into particular reasons within planned downtime reasons for example. I am logging equipment status flag integer into a stream and it displays it in a grid with a timestamp. But I want to create another column with the duration of the particular downtime cause. How would I do that? If I have only the start time. So I assume the trigger event would be the next status change and its time stamp would determine the duration? Or should I use Alert services for that? My final goal is to have a pie chart of the unplanned downtime reason hours. Honestly Mfg Apps should have it along with multiple shift setup. Is there an indication when it will be added? Thanks

Until recently everything worked with the analysis jobs, now the results are not displayed anymore. The analysis model is working and the inputs are right.   I tried contacting the support directly but the support website is not working.   Thanks Elena

Hi All, I am having Mashup which is divided into 6 rows( 6 containers). Each row contains labels for key-value pair data and data is loaded using service.  My requirement is not to show containers for which we are not getting data from backend service. So far I was accomplishing this by comparing attributes value for each row and if it was empty then I used to call one service which returns the boolean value for each row. This value I am binding with the "visible" property of the Row (container) widget.   But in this approach, I face an issue that if some attributes are empty for the middle row, then it shows blank space on mashup. Is it possible to adjust the blank space/ container's property to adjust "top" dynamically?    Request you all to kindly help me achieve this solution. Also if some other better approach is possible to load data dynamically and adjust the widget/ collapse widget if it doesn't contain any data.     Regards, Siddharth   &nbsp

Hi Folks, @PaiChung @CarlesColl @Constantine  I have 500 Things to fetch properties from.And I have already tried fetching the Things first and then query for required properties only. But it still takes lot of time to execute.   Is there any other way to fetch larger set of data from Things in a least possible time.   Note: Already tried below workaround but no luck.          var ThingsList = ThingTemplates["Template"].GetImplementingThings();                 var params = {                     types: "STRING" ,                     t: thingsList ,                     columns: "MachineNumber",                     expressions: "Things[name].MachineNumber"        &

While doing some design modification on parts, periodically the part is swapped out with another unrelated part. When the drawing is updated, the balloon has lost its reference. Is there another way than deleting and re-creating the detached balloons? With notes, a new leader is added and with dimensions right clicking pops-up a window with "Edit Attachement", but with balloons it is delete and re-create.    

Hi,   We are working with the trial version of ThingWorx and we are taking some performance bench marks for data read/write to Things. For read we are using QueryPropertyHistory service via ConnectedThingClient in java sdk. For write we are using WritePropertiesVTQ api on ConnectedThingClient.  These reading will be affected by the hosted server's location and the deployment structure of the server (cloud/on premise). So can anyone please help us with the information about where the hosted server is located?    Regards, Vaishnavee  

Hello   I'm working on an HoloLens experience where I want to make some models invisible. Somehow it's not possible to change the visibility attribute of the models and also the forceHidden attribute does not work on the HoloLens...   I also tried it with the opacity all the following commands don't work neither. To check if its principally working I added the command to move the model on the z-axis and this works.   $scope.app.voiceHideSteelwork = function() {voiceHideSteelwork();} function voiceHideSteelwork() {$scope.setWidgetProp('model-1','z','0');$scope.setWidgetProp('model-1','opacity','0.5');$scope.view.wdg['model-1'].opacity = 0.5;$scope.view.wdg['model-1']['opacity'] = 0.5;$scope.setWidgetProp('modellItem-1','opacity','0.5');$scope.view.wdg['modellItem-1'].opacity = 0.5;$scope.view.wdg['modellItem-1']['opacity'] = 0.5;}   Can somebody help me to make a model invisible?   Best regards David

Hi there,   I am trying to create a Test Suite with Test Cases and later a Test Session within a batch script. For the Test Cases I am using "im createcontent" but I have no clue which commands to use for the Test Suite and Test Session. Is it possible to create such elements / documents with a batch script? If yes, how? 🙂

Hi, I just downloaded Creo 2.0 from ptc as a student edition download, including the simluate. But, when I run this program, and try to open a part/model, it throws this license error: "unable to get required creo simulate license. Please contact customer support". Do I need separate license for simulate, because the parametric seems to be working fine.Thanks,A. Gill
