Info*Engine tasks are created in Windchill, and are supported by a different group of people than support Navigate. But, once you have an Info*Engine task, it can be accessed using the OData Connector in ThingWorx. Here are the steps from Knowledge Base Article 291231:
Configuring ODataConnector and Windchill to use Windchill Authentication
Clarifications:
Connector and connector-proxy are separate things with different purposes
Connector establishes connection endpoints
Connector works with IntegrationRuntime applet
IntegrationRuntime applet (IR) is configured using IntegrationRuntime-settings.json file
IntegrationRuntime-settings.json contains paths and passwords for keystore and truststore
IR provides ThingWorx signing certificate when connector authenticates to Windchill
Connector-proxy submits data request
Connector-proxy includes paths and passwords for keystore and truststore in configuration
Connector-proxy does not use IntegrationRuntime
ODataConnector does not require the use of a connector-proxy to request data
Remote user is set using a script as described in Configuration steps
Configuration steps:
ODataConnector:
Create and name a new thing based on the ODataConnector thing template
Select Configuration
Set Authentication Type to None
No need to fill out Username and Password
Fill the Base URL with: https://<Windchill Hostname>:<port>/Windchill/sslClientAuth
Fill Relative URL with: /servlet/odata/IE
Fill ConnectionURL with: /servlet/WindchillGW/wt.httpgw.HTTPServer/ping
Click Save.
Select Services
Edit GetCustomerHeaderParameters service
Add this script:
[
var sessionQueryParam = "wt.effectiveUid";
var Language = Resources["CurrentSessionInfo"].GetCurrentUserLanguage();
var params = {
infoTableName : "InfoTable",
dataShapeName : "NavigateCustomHeadersDataShape"
};
var result = Resources["InfoTableFunctions"].CreateInfoTableFromDataShape(params);
var CurrentUser = Resources["CurrentSessionInfo"].GetCurrentUser();
params = {
tableName: "GenericConnectorConnectionSettings" /* STRING */
};
var configTable = me.GetConfigurationTable(params);
var row = configTable.getRow(0);
var authType = row.getStringValue("AuthenticationType");
if("None".equals(authType)) {
var camelHttpQuery = sessionQueryParam + "=" + CurrentUser;
row = {"Accept-Language" : Language, "CamelHttpQuery": camelHttpQuery };
} else {
row = {"Accept-Language" : Language };
}
result.AddRow(row);
]
Save service
Save Connector
