ThingWorx

All - We run Thingworx mashups as "dashboards" around our facilities quite frequently.  What this basically means is that we have large flat screens mounted showing data that is pulled into Thingworx from various sources on a Thingworx mashups/webpage.  We are embedding application keys in the URL to work around any sort of user having to login.  The users just have to open a URL shortcut, or it's automatically launched when the device boots up. I understand this isn't best practice, but it works well for us and these app key accounts are very locked down.   One issue we've unable to overcome is that when the Thingworx server is restarted, or if just Tomcat is restarted, the browser client gets briefly disconnected and then it shows it's default login prompt. In our case we primarily use Chrome, so after a restart, all our users see is this:     The resolution is fairly simple, just close and re-open the browser shortcut, but in some cases, the devices ru

Hi, I have two menus and a mashup container, I want the two menus to show their respective mashup links in the same mashup container, what is the best way to do it?

Hi!   I'm working with ThingWorx Edge ADO Service and connecting to Excel-spreadsheet from which I'm getting information. The problem is that while I'm working with a mashup that uses this service, the spreadsheet, when I try to open it, says: "is locked for editing by 'another user'". Accordingly, I can't update the data in this spreadsheet so that it's immediately displayed in the mashup. Every time I have to stop the Windows service corresponding to the ThingWorx Edge ADO Service, and only then make changes to the spreadsheet and start the service again.   Is there any solution to solve this problem?

We have given the query Alert Summary service from Alert Functions to a table. The alert getting displayed has the timestamp as future date i.e., one day higher that the current date.

I'm training Models through the UI and the API and I'm getting slightly different results each time, even when the parameters are the same the results are not replicable. In particular I'm training a logistic regression, an algorithm that should be deterministic, I'm also setting the training data to 100% and 0% for validation so there should no be an effected of the sampling there. Is there an option to set a seed or any other mechanist to get the exact same result each time? 

Hello, I might just be missing something obvious but I am trying to change the alignment of the headers on an Advanced grid. The version of Thingworx I am using is 8.5.3 and I was able to change the text alignment of the data with this custom css:.myAdvancedGridClass .objbox table tbody tr td{text-align: center !important;}but I also want to change the alignment of the headings to match. Any help or insight is greatly appreciated. I was looking at the documentation for Thingworx 8 and I saw that header and cell text alignment is a feature so I might just not be seeing where I can change that.

Good Afternoon,   I attempted to use the license configurator for Thingworx Foundation 9.1 (Fresh Install) and after typing in administrator username and password and clicking 'next' the license configurator said it could not connect and to verify Thingworx Foundation was running.  I started the Thingworx Foundation service but after getting another failed attempt it shows in the ApplicationLogs that it is shutting down immediately because of the expired trial license.  How am I supposed to apply my paid for 'license-capability-reponse.bin' file if I cannot run Thingworx Foundation to apply it?

I am trying to track how much time users spend on thingworx.  It is kind of like how this PTC community portal tracks how many minutes each user spends here. I have a couple of subscriptions that tracks when a user logs in and when a user logs out.  It updates a property called trueLastConnection, when the following "SecurityMonitor" events occur: LoginSucceeded Logout In the subscription called "UpdateTrueLastConnectionLogout", I have the following code:   var currentDate = new Date(); Users[eventData.user].TotalMinutesOnline = Users[eventData.user].TotalMinutesOnline + ((currentDate - Users[eventData.user].trueLastConnection)/60000); Users[eventData.user].trueLastConnection = currentDate;     This subscription is triggered by the "SecurityMonitor" event called "Logout". I expected it to update the user property called "TotalMinutesOnline"; however, I noticed that it only works if the user actually clicks on the logout button.  If the user closes

So, I found this post:   https://community.ptc.com/t5/ThingWorx-Developers/Passing-the-data-between-two-different-mashups/td-p/508669   However, I have a question. Can you use the navigation function without actually navigating? Can you just have it pass data between two mashups? If not, how can I do this?
