ThingWorx

I’m trying to import an XML file of an entity (exported from a ThingWorx 9.6 system) into another TWX 9.6 instance via a backend service that issues: POST /Thingworx/Importer?purpose=import&IgnoreBadValueStreamData=false&WithSubsystems=false&overwriteConfigurationTableValues=true&overwritePropertyValues=true&usedefaultdataprovider=trueHeaders: appKey: <valid key for Administrator>X-ThingWorx-Session: trueX-XSRF-TOKEN: TWX-XSRF-TOKEN-VALUEContent-Type: multipart/form-data (handled by FormData boundary)The call uploads the file (file field) and returns 200 OK.In the response body (octet-stream) and in ApplicationLog I only see: Start post migrating from version [9.3.0] to version [9.3.0] Finished post migrating from version [9.3.0] to version [9.3.0]No errors are logged, yet the Thing inside the XML (THING_NAME_IMPORTED) never appears in Composer.– ThingTemplate, ValueStream and Project referenced in the XML already exist.– The same XML imported m

Hi ThingWorx Community,I’m working with a State Definition (project.States.SD) where each state (e.g. taskCreated, taskAssigned, taskInProgress, etc.) has its own display‐style (colors, icons, shapes) configured in Composer:   Right now, to apply those styles at runtime I’ve been hard‑coding the color/icon mappings in my mashup scripts. What I’d really like is to dynamically retrieve the full style definition (all state keys, display names, style palettes, icons, etc.) via a service call.My questions:Is there a built‑in ThingWorx service (for example under DefinitionServices or MetadataManager) that returns the complete style configuration for a given State Definition?If not, is there a recommended pattern or existing code snippet for querying a State Definition’s metadata (including style properties) at runtime?Any pointers, sample code or best‑practice guidance would be hugely appreciated!Thanks in advance,

Hello,  I am using ThingWorx 9.6.0 and working on a project to create a paperless report, where almost all the data is displayed using the "grid" widget. Is there a way to change the height of the "grid" widget to accommodate the amount of data shown without having to scroll? Regards,Elbert

I recently ran into upgrade issues going from 9.3.4 to 9.7 on a test instance. It failed on the step for updating the database. I did some tests in line with this article: Upgrading ThingWorx Platform using the installer fails... This is the way my connection string is formatted both in platform.settings.json and in an connector Thing inside of Thingworx: "driverClass": "com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver", "jdbcUrl": "jdbc:sqlserver://<host>:<port>;ssl=required maxStatements=0;databaseName=ThingWorx;applicationName=Thingworx;", I had to add the ssl=required to the connection string. I could not find any article in the knowledge base about this but wondering if anyone in the field has configured their system in such a way. One thought I had was to have my DBA disable this option so we can perform upgrade without any complexities. When I ran the sqlcmd tests,  I did see it complain about ssl and even with options "-N -C" it still did not like it. I

Hi Team,   I was researching how to obtain data from LabVIEW to ThingWorx or the connectivity between ThingWorx and LabVIEW.   I found the article below, and I see that none of the links provided in the article (in the resolution section) are working. Can someone help us with working links? Article - CS364839 - Integrating NI Labview and TestStandEnvironments with Thingworx 9.1Thanks,

We are using ThingWorx Platform 9.6.  Is there a way to search the services attached to a database thing?  For example, I want to know each service that contains a SQL Server Table named Customers?  Is there a way to search the SQL queries within each service and return a list of all services that contain this table? 

Hi all, I am trying to use the second Y-axis functionality on the line widget. The issue I am encountering is the properties displayed on the line chart are dynamically chosen by the user and input into the Data part of the info table, so it is unknown which Y-axis should be used for which property, but sometimes the property values history are very different numbers and could use an automated second Y-axis to make the data look good. Is there any way to do this really with this much uncertainty? I notice if there is a set number of Series that they can be set to either axis 1 or axis 2, but in this case, I don't have a set number of series so cannot really choose and they could need different scales but might not.  Any input is appreciated! Version 9.7.1

Hi everyone,I’m working with GridAdvanced in ThingWorx and I’m using it in tree mode to display a parent-child structure:I have main entries (parents) and when you click on one, it expands to show the sub-entries (children) below.My challenge is:Whenever I make a change and reload or refresh the data in the grid (e.g., after an action or a service call), all the parent entries collapse and I lose the expanded state. I’d like the grid to keep the same entries expanded after the data is loaded again, so the user doesn’t have to click and open them each time.✅ Does anyone have best practices or tips for how to keep certain tree rows expanded after reloading the data?✅ Is there a recommended way to save and restore the expanded state programmatically?Any suggestions, examples, or workarounds would be greatly appreciated! 🙏Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi ThingWorx Community,I’m working on a large data migration project in ThingWorx and would love your advice or best practices!🔍 Context:I have around 100 DataTables, each with a significant number of rows.For each DataTable, I read all entries, transform the data (sometimes with nested loops, adding extra logic), and then either:Build a large InfoTable result, This logic works fine for small datasets, but with real data volumes, I’m consistently hitting this error: Execution of Script terminated after: 30 seconds. Timeout configured for 30 seconds.  🔄 I understand the ThingWorx ScriptTimeout is there for a reason, but:I’ve seen loops that just insert thousands of rows run much longer without hitting this.Now that I’m reading + transforming + updating, I’m hitting the limit quickly.💡 Questions:How do others handle large migrations like this without hitting the script timeout?Is there a proven batching or chunking pattern that works well inside ThingWorx services?Shoul

Hello, I'm new to Vuforia and Thingworx, so I would appreciate some help with my problem:I'm trying to get the data from an MQTT-Broker to Vuforia. I've already set up a Thing in Thingworx, which is connected to the MQTT-Broker and I've also created a mapping (subscribed to the topic) and a property with the same name.The data is being updated automatically in the property, but when I want to use the same data/property in Vuforia Studio (I've added the property from Thingworx to Vuforia Studio as external data), I either have to reload the preview or restart the experience in Vuforia View. At the same time, if I change the value in Thingworx manually, the change is automatically applied in Vuforia Studio/View.Software:ThingWorx 9.6.1-b253Vuforia Studio 9.25.6 (9.25.6.0)HiveMQ (Free Plan)Thank you in advance!

We all know that Microsoft is going to deprecate the Basic authentication mechanism effectively from Oct 1st. This has been used by the mail server thing to publish emails.    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/clients-and-mobile-in-exchange-online/deprecation-of-basic-authentication-exchange-online   So, Now what will be the workaround, or does PTC Thingworx has any other alternative to publish emails with modern authentication ?? 

Hi,    I was researching how to upgrade from 9.0 to 9.7. The use case for this is to use the Foundation Installer instead of the WAR file installation.    As far as I know, the Foundation installer requires an empty database to proceed with the installation. So, in this case, how can I attach the Upgraded DB to the Foundation Installer?   Currently, I plan to use an empty database for installation. Once PTC ThingWorx 9.7 is installed, I will update the database configuration in the Platform-settings.json file to reflect the upgraded database. Will this work?Thingworx Version: 9.0.0   Thanks,

Hi,    I am on Thingowrx 9.0 for a project. We need to upgrade to PTC ThingWorx 9.7. I have performed numerous Postgres SQL upgrades, but not with MS SQL. I've been trying to find an article through the Knowledge Base, and the proper steps are nowhere to be found.   Thingworx Version: 9.0Azure MS SQL: V12   Thanks,   

We had some custom apps developed and one of the design decisions was to use data tables for some records but others were too vast, so they externalize those tables in another table. In reality, they created a custom table in the Thingworx database with its own connector. My question to field was this a wise decision? Should custom data tables exist separately from the main tables that drive Thingworx? What is best practice here? 

from the subject, running 6.12 ThingWorks KEPWare Server with IoTGateway REST Server configured as write enabled (for endpoints). When attempting to write a value to a tag through REST call, the following is returned:   { "writeResults": [ { "id": "<tag_name>", "s": false, "r": "Request rejected." } ] }    It has been observed that the issue clear away once I run an OPCQuick Client and attempt to browse tags. All the tags are hosted locally (trying to write to a simulation driver tag). Issue reoccurs when re-initializing/restarting the server. Any ideas? ===Update 1===The initial configuration was that the tag (IoT Item) "Capture Options" is configured to be "Explicit Read" rather than "Scan Tag". When using the latter, the issue doesn't occur. The requirement though is to be "Explicit Read"   

Is there any other flow for logging in with SSO instead of as per documented in here?https://support.ptc.com/help/thingworx/platform/r9.6/en/index.html#page/ThingWorx/Help/Composer/Security/Authenticators/TwxSSOAuthenticator.htmlI want to create Custom Authenticator, but I need HTTP Request beside via "action-login" (URL: /Thingworx/action-login).  I already know how to get the corresponding data from SSO, but don't know where to POST these data to (so I could use this on the Custom Authenticator), since I want to differentiate login flow between usual Thingworx Users and SSO Users. Thus, I can handle SSO user as I want via the Custom Authenticator.

I am using ThingWorx Platform Release 7.3I have a Thingworx 7.3 installation that I need to bring OPC data into. All information available on the internet talks about an IndustrialGateway thing that apparently is only available in TWX 8.0 or later. Upgrading my installation is not an option. Are there any other option to bring OPC data into 7.3 Thingworx?

Hi everyone, I'm currently working on developing custom ThingWorx widgets using the ThingWorx Web Components SDK - Lit.While I’ve gone through the official documentation, I would really appreciate insights from those who have hands-on experience building and using successfully such widgets. Gone through of Getting Started Tutorial - ThingWorx Web Component SDK - Lit (ptc.com) , does help a bit in starting all the way.Building the sample project (as per the above tutorial) and importing it to the platform are completed just fine, however widget is not visible on MashupBuilder, and errors are thrown when MB loads.ERROR [widget] "CustomCSS" widget type is missing required member widgetProperties() Attached you can find the whole sample project, including the output widget zip for the import. Environment: Thingworx Foundation 9.7.Method: ThingWorx Web Component SDK - Lit If you've built custom widgets using web components, your experience would be in
