ThingWorx

Dear experts,   I am trying to create a Thing from a Service developed in an extension. I could easily do it in another extension by using:      es.CreateThing(thingName, null, null, thingTemplateName);     Where es is an instance of EntityServices. I am developing another extension now and for some reason it always throws an Exception, saying that the ThingTemplate does not exist. The template is defined into the Extension itself and it is correctly seen by the composer. Moreover, instantiating a Thing from that Template from the Composer works.   Thanks and Best Regards 

Hello. Can anybody help me with installation of Thingworx trial edition? I`m trying to install it on PC with windows 10. Required java 8 and postgreSQL 9.6 are already installed and defined in Path. The installation stops at the last seconds of process, when system tries to unpack files and get access to the package. Maybe, someone knows what to do to solve this problem?

I need a bar chart to display bars by ascending/descending values.  The values fluctuate so I can't set the bars in static order. Is it possible to get the bar chart widget to display the bars by ascending/descending values? I looked at the widget properties, but I didn't see an option to set this.   Please see the following example from MS Excel:

I have an infotable with type EntityReference (just name and type field), it contains different objects like mashup, menus ,things, etc   for each entity I need to call its related common service (on my case SetProjectName) :   for things    Things[entityname].SetProjectName("myproj") for mashups    Mashups[entityname].SetProjectName("myproj") for users    Users[entityname].SetProjectName("myproj") .... and so on for almost all types   is there a way to call SetProjectName intependently from entity type ?

Hi Folks,   I have a large data set of Thing Properties about (1000 Things * 20 properties) to render on Charts. I have already tried below recommendations but still facing performance issues and even with test data of 700 records,its taking more than 20 seconds to render completely. 1. Already using NamedPropertyHistory for specific props only. 2. Data is being filtered with start/end date params already   Any suggestions to improve the performance and loading time? @CarlesColl @VladimirRosu_116627 @ttielebein @Constantine 

I started a new trial and I am getting this message when I try to view anything in analytics section...   Your API Key has expired. You can generate a new key or extend the expiration date of the current key. See the Analytics Help Center for procedures.   I checked all my app keys and they are fine so this is obviously something behind the scenes. I found a link to change the expiration for an installed version but I am on the hosted trial. How can I fix this for the trial? Thanks

Hi,  I'm going to  implement the following logic for a tree:  1.   Read the tree node from database Table  2.   Convert the flat table entries into  a javascript object which has pointers: left, next , parent 3.   Traverse the javascript object to get the children by level.    Since the tree node in database table won't change frequently , I want cache the result of step 2#.  How to where can I store a Javascript object in ThingWorx ?    Regards, Sean

Hi Everyone i need support to create progress bar and gauge widgets have state definition such as below screen shoot.          

I have a data table with 17 fields and 296 records - figures 1 and 2. To show the records for this data table I have a mashup as shown in figure 3 containing a textbox, two buttonbars and a collection. The service that loads the collection is in figure 4. Basically what this service does is to filter and / or sort my data table.My questions are:# 1 - Since the data table has additional indexes in all fields where the collection can be filtered, why does the service take so long to load the collection when I don't use any filters?# 2 - I can click on only one cell in the collection at a time. If after that I use any filter or change the sort option, how can I make the previously selected cell be selected again, since every time I filter or sort the data table, it redoes the collection?My version of Thingworx is 8.5.6 and the database is postgresql.Thanks in advance.

I have manage one created user(super admin) which having administrator access but i'm unable to manage user which is created by super admin (i.e studio admin) which is stored in database,So how i can manage these studio admin users for log in on mashup? Is there any way to login every user by using organisation URL? Here is my log In user hierarchy : Super admin(created in Thingworx user)->Studio admin(created by super admin which is stored in DB) ->Trainer(created by studio admin which is stored in DB)   Like super admin organisational url i can login successfully. How i can manage all login user in one organisation URL?    Thanks in advance

Hi,   I am testing ThingWorx 9.0 before upgrade of our project from 8.5.5, and I have a problem with binding parameters in Navigation Function in Mashup.   Preparation: I created test Mashup using Responsive layout. I added a Parameter with a default value (source for Navigation Mashup Parameter), and a Navigation to a Mashup with a Parameter. I manually (drag and drop) bind this Parameter to the Mashup Parameters in the Navigation.   Problem: After I change active entity in Composer or refresh the page, I get the message "Obsolete bindings for test were removed".   Same thing happens when I bind this parameter with a value coming from a Widget or a service output.

Hello everyone,   Recently we have been using the 'Collection' Widget in some of our mashups. For this purpose, we are constructing a dashboard containing around 10-12 Cells. Each cell, is a Mashup with 100px/100px size with 6 text boxes.    The load of the 'Collection' widget is roughly taking around 15s (at this point the loading bar stops showing), and only at the 25s mark do I get the updated dashboard.   Is this a known issue? I'm using v8.4.10

Hello All,   I was using the cloud version of thingworx, and now moved to local installation.   In the cloud one, I used to start my work by running an agent file with the URL address of my account such as below:   URI=wss://PP-2007161840G0.devportal.ptc.io:8443/Thingworx/WS and add the APP KEY.   Now I know how to get the APPKey but not sure how to use as URI for the local installation.   Should I use: URI =http://localhost:8080/Thingworx ??   Best, Ahmed

Hello all, I'm trying to create thing template based on database thing template in my custom extension. Using creator I've created thing template named MSSQLThingTemplate which is extending database thing template:   @ThingworxBaseTemplateDefinition(name = "Database") public class MSSQLThingTemplate extends Thing { public MSSQLThingTemplate() { // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub } }   The problem is that after creating thing template using this method i'm not able to add SQL Query or Command service to thing created from MSSQLThingTemplate, only Local (JavaScript) is visible. Do you know how to fix this? Should this thing template extend different class? Thanks in advance for help.
