ThingWorx DevOps with Jenkins

DevOps as a topic is vast and has been addressed at many times throughout the history of the PTC Community. Previous posts address what DevOps is, teach how to make use of DevOps like a pro,  announce updates to the PTC Git Extension, and explain why this extension is so helpful to achieving continuous Git integration with ThingWorx.

This post provides a PDF guide on Jenkins integration with ThingWorx, including tutorials with detailed information on how to setup your ThingWorx instance and how to configure your Jenkins Pipeline. The PDF is listed for download separately, but it is also included in the zip with the other required files for the tutorial. The Jenkins Pipeline provided here is intended as an example / starting point for managing your DevOps in ThingWorx and can easily be extended. Please note that this Pipeline is not officially supported by PTC.

I,m trying this pipeline and getting an error in the ImportingApplication service.
