Needs a well managed import entities functionality in Thingworx

Hi,

I think one of the important aspect could be to improve the Entities import mechanism in Thingworx.

When we are trying to import Entities right now the sequence and type of entities is random which causes problems for big projects.

Ideally the import sequence should be be well defined and should start with less dependent entity types like Media, Styles, datashapes or Thingshapes and then move to more dependent entities like  thingtemplates and finally to Things and Mashups.

I personally have experienced this issue that when there are many entities to import, sometimes templates that use certain thingshapes get imported before the thingshapes themselves, and hence entire import fails.

@amittal1 ,

 

Have you tried our latest functionality with projects, dependencies and Solution Central?  Those features are designed to help with larger applications, dependency issues and successful deployment/imports.

Projects now contain dependency awareness and should be used for importing content.
