[Update to 8.5.2] Manufacturing Apps - Assets not more visible

[benjaminlhind]

Hi,

we updated our Thingworx Instance from 8.4 to 8.5.2 and Manufacturing Apps to 8.5.1. After this update we experienced an error that our Assets after a reimport are not showing up in the Asset Advisor.

State after Update from 8.4 to 8.5.2:

- 5x Assets in Asset Advisor visible

What did we do:

- Delete asset / extension in Composer

- Reimport asset via custom extension (ZIP File)

- Import successfully -> asset visible in Compose

- Asset not more visible in Asset Advisor / Manufacturing Apps

Workaround to get Assets visible again:

- Create a new asset with the same name in "configuration and setup" in manufacturing apps

- Reimport the same Extension (contains Assets) and overwrite new asset

- Now the assets are again visible in Asset Advisor

Questions:

- Is there a fix for this problem, without the workaround?

- How do I deploy assets to different thingworx instances without the above error?

Hi @benjaminlhind ,

Are you using any custom template for assets/lines on your instance.

Please share the screenshot of the Asset Advisor screen, Custom Launchpoint configuration tab screenshot and the application logs for the timestamp when error occurred.

Thanks,

Himanshu

There is a Network entity that you have to add your Assets into for them to show up in the Apps.  We migrated from 8.4 to 9.1, and I believe the Network was called "PTC.Factory.PlantNetwork" in both instances.  You might be able to simply migrate the Network along with your assets.
