Unable to Import/Export remotely bound properties of an asset in Mfg. Apps

[AjaySrini]

Unable to Import/Export remotely bound properties of an asset using Import & Export equipment option available under Equipment tab of Configuration and Setup tile in Mfg. Apps. Whereas we are able to import & export local bound properties.

Basically I am trying to automate asset creation (with remotely bound props) in Mfg. Apps using out of box Mfg. Apps Excel Import functionality.

Is this functionality not available in current version of Mfg. Apps ? If not available, which entity & service should I customize to make it work for remotely bound properties.

Hi @AjaySrini 

Import/Export functionality of remotely bound properties of  an Asset can be done in ThingWorx Manufacturing Apps 8.5.1 version.  This functionality is added as enhancement with latest release (8.5.1) of Apps, which available for download from PTC support Site.

If you are on earlier release of Manufacturing apps, you need to override a service ImportRemotelyBoundProperty from Thing PTC.SCA.SCO.Common.ImportProcessor . For importing remote properties; however export functionality doesn't work because you cannot overwrite the services  of PTC.SCA.SCO.Common.ExportProcessor.

Thanks
