ThingWorx-Analytics-Server-Windows-Standalone Anomaly calibration fails

[BryanK]

I have installed the standalone package as I wanted it to run as a standalone service. 

After some investigation I found that it uses these files 

analytics-server.properties
system-environment-variables.properties

 

When Adding an anomaly to a property it just fails after calibration. 

It installs and starts but after calibrating for 10 minutes it changes to failed.

I have been through all the ports etc  its a head scratcher. 

The training log give this error. 

This is from the Training log file.

Any help or suggestion will be appreciated.

Hi

From your post it seems that you have installed ThingWorx Analytics Standalone.

This is not the correct  media to use for Anomaly detection.

You would need to use the training and result microservice jar files located in the ThingWacher media.

See https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article?n=CS265488 , particularly the video on deploying the jar files

hope this helps

Kind regards

Hi,

Thanks, That's a pity. Is there are reason the 2 are not compatible? 

I don't mind using the jar files and I have done this successfully and its pretty easy to do. 

What I'm after is being able to run the jar files as service like it does in the standalone installation. 

 

Regards,

Bryan

Hi Bryan

Currently the deployment does not include Windows services for anomaly detection.

I think you can find some way to do it using third party tools, but that is not something provided/supported at this stage.

https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-daemon/procrun.html and https://www.howtogeek.com/50786/using-srvstart-to-run-any-application-as-a-windows-service/ can be a starting point.

Kind regards
