Any thoughts/ suggestions.

Hello @Hanandan 

 

Can you validate the platform URL - there is an extra "/Thingworx" before the port :

https://PP-2110022216B3.portal.ptc.io/Thingworx:443/Thingworx/WS

Hi @smainente  Good Catch! I did try removing the extra  "/Thingworx" but still getting the same error 

 

my build is successful too(see below):

Hi @Hanandan.

 

There could be a number of causes, e.g. wrong port, firewall config, etc.  You're also testing using SSL,  You could start there by turning that off to see if the problem might be related to the certificate or configuration.

 

Regards.

Hi @slangley thanks for the response. Do you know any article or steps needed for the configuration. BecauseI used the document (Getting Started with The ThingWorx C SDK on the Raspberry PIhttps://community.ptc.com › iottechtips › UsingT...) from PTC to start with and it did not cover these information. Also, I will try as per your suggestion.

Hi @Hanandan.

 

The document you referenced is very old.  You might be more successful by using this one.

 

We also noticed in the error message that you're using port 443, which is a secured port, but the protocol is unsecured (WS).  Have you tried with WSS?

 

Regards.
