As these kind of things in platform are very huge like more or less to 100000 (more than lakhs and those are remote things)., like to know getting count as result directly from api instead of  infotable aggregate functions...   Kindly let me know, if any api/service available to get the count directly with out infotable.   Thanks Gopi

I am trying to remotely load a program onto a robot by selecting the program from a dropdown menu and using a button to load that program (see below). I need to pass the program name (string) and starting position (6 numbers) to a service that commands the robot to move to the starting position and ready the program for execution. However, I have thus far been unfruitful in getting the data from the selection made in the dropdown widget.      I have been able to feed data from an infotable created as a property of a Thing to the dropdown widget and display the program names in the dropdown. I have tried to access the data from the selected item in the dropdown through myThing > GetPropertyValues > ReturnedData > SelectedRow(s) > myInfotable > SelectedRow(s) > ProgramName and StartingPositionVals (see below) but have not seen any data returned through that route when I check the mashup preview debug menu. I have tried using the SelectedRowsChanged event

I’m using the below signal to train the Anomaly Detection, the first 6 cycles (before de red line) corresponds to normal operation, the cycles after that are obtained when a failure in the system had happened. I’m using the first 5 cycles for training, as recommended in  the documentation, and monitoring the signal after that. The bellow image depicts the current results:   It is detected as an anomaly, the first cycle after training (cycle 6) which corresponds to normal behavior.   One of the parameters I think could be causing this is the Outbound Anomaly Rate, until now I have set this parameter as a function of the signals period, first as ⅙  and then as a complete period, but got the same result.    Is there a reference to set this parameter? Does it depend on the shape or length of the signal?    

Hello,   I have a mashup with a search button and a grid widget, after clicking search button it executes a service which loads the data in grid. now I need to disable the search button while data is being loaded on the grid to avoid the multiple execution on the service as it takes some  time to fetch the data from  Database.   Thanks 

I had made a login page with the help of Organizations entity for different users which will open specific Mashup according to their user role. So users can get logged in and the Mashup also opens perfectly. But the data is not seen in Mashup. What is the problem? I think it's related to permissions of other entities so I inserted all the permissions accordingly. But still the same is happening. Will anyone help me?

Any inbuilt services is there for validation?

Hello, Needed some opinion on loading the status icon based on the properties current state. Is it performance efficient to load the status icon as part of the service output or create a state definition and only out put the value from the service and the icon is decided by the state definition. My thinking is that the state definition is loaded once on launch and icon is rendered based on the value, instead of loading the icon as a service output on every call.   Thank you!    

I have an infotable with a list of programs and associated parameters. I want to display the names of the programs in a dropdown widget and use the selected entry from that widget as input for a button widget activated service. However, I am having difficulty finding where the dropdown selection outputs to and how to get the infotable information to a service. How can I retrieve the current selection and its parameters in a service?

Hi all, I have been following this tutorial "https://developer.thingworx.com/en/resources/guides/analytics-builder-quickstart/analytics-builder-setup " and understood the basic concepts of Analytics builder in thingworx. Now I want to perform the same operation through services. I have imported CSV parser extension and has imported csv file to a file repository.  I am not clear how I can create dataset using services.     Thank You,

I am starting a new thread on this topic.   What is the PTC's plan for keeping permanent records for user activities tracking, IP addresses etc tracking. We have compliance requirements and we need to keep these records for lifetime of Thingworx Platform.   Background Info: We implemented Thingworx Navigate App for search, view and downloading PLM Windchill documents. Our userbase is quite large - 25k+ users. We need to be able to track user activities on the platform.   There was a suggestion on this forum to create external database to store such information. I think that this need is common across all PTC customers. I think that we need a solution from PTC which will be helpful for all of us.   thanks, Preeti

I'm trying to open thingworx local server but since yesterday, the page is loading but not opening. I don't know what is happening and I have created many important entities in that so I can't even delete it and reinstall it. Please help me as it's very important to me. I searched similar questions in PTC community and I noticed that many solutions include application log. I don't know how to see it so I linked the screenshot of browser and the application log of thingworx storage folder.

Hi All,   I have a query related to adding a thing shape dynamically onto a thing template but the issue is that the thing template, as well as the shape, is part of an extension, which means they are non-editable. By attaching the shape to the template a new functionality will be achieved by the things created under that template.   Please let me know if there is a way to attach a shape to a template dynamically (non-editable template)   Thanks in Advance!

Hi,   I would like to have a service with a JSON as output. Is it possible to add a 'null' value in an array there? E.g.   {  field1: [50], field2: [null], field3: [60] }   (My service returns 'Error executing service. Message ::null - See Script Error Log for more details'). The null is really necessary (NaN etc. are not an option).

Hello everyone,   this is a follow up to this and that post as there was no solution suggested. The related support article suggests to turn off the feature as a "workaround".   As I am currently working on Thingworx 8.4.4 I am afraid the only option I have is to upgrade to 9.x? Can someone report if the issue is resolved in the latest releases?   Thank you Benny
