Hi,
According to the posts below :
https://community.ptc.com/t5/IoT-Tech-Tips/Creating-a-Thing-in-Service-Script/td-p/533427
var params = {
name: "NewThingName",
thingTemplateName: "GenericThing"
};
Resources["EntityServices"].CreateThing(params);
Things["NewThingName"].EnableThing();
Things["NewThingName"].RestartThing();
The step is CreateThing->EnableThing->RestartThing , but in my test , I found thing works well even if I don't call the service RestartThing. is this step still necessary in ThingWorx 9.1.0 ?

Solved! Go to Solution.
Thanks for reaching out to us. I just test the below code in 9.1 version.
let params = {
name: 'MG2' /* STRING */,
description: undefined /* STRING */,
thingTemplateName: 'GenericThing' /* THINGTEMPLATENAME */,
projectName: 'PTCDefaultProject' /* PROJECTNAME */,
tags: undefined /* TAGS */
};
// no return
Resources["EntityServices"].CreateThing(params);
Things["MG2"].EnableThing();
Thing is enabled after running this, no need to restart. By default project is Mandatory in Thingworx 9.1 version. Hope this is your answer.
