This is the 3rd article of series: Thingworx Analytics introduction. 1st article introduces Analytics Function and Modules. 2nd article introduces Non Time Series TTF prediction.   Environment: Thingworx Platform 8.5, Analytics Server 8.5, Analytics Extension 8.5.   In TTF prediction, Time Series Data model is better than Non Time Series Data model. What’s Time Series Data model? As per Machine Learning concept, the process of training model is to find the best matching parameters, and to use them to combine with features to calculate the result values. For Non Time Series Data models, it’s not relevant between current values and previous values. But for Time Series Data, during each time of calculation, it will check not only current values, but also previous values, and the previous values are time relevant. There’re 2 important terms here: look back size, and data sampling frequency. Look back size = numbers of data samples need to look back. Data sampling frequency = the

Hello, I'm new to Thingworx and I'm trying to make a time-series chart with an x-axis that shows, say, only the most recent 24 hours, so the far end of the axis is the current time and the "0" end is 24 hours ago.   Right now I have a chart where the "0" end is the time I created the chart and the far end is the current time, so as the x-axis continues to get bigger my data resolution is practically unreadable, but nothing I change in the chart properties seems to have an impact.   Does anyone know how to set the X-axis to a fixed amount of time that scrolls forward as the data updates?   Thank you

Philosophical question for folks.    When recording historical data for a manufacturing batch (for retainment in a "batch report" (uptime, average temp, etc)) what thingworx data storage method would be best?   After looking into everything I would think that--for example--temperature data could be recorded in a stream (as it is time series) and tagged with the batch unique identifying number.   however, where would other data be captured which isn't time series. For example--Uptime, or units produced, or yield.   Would it be best practice for each manufacturing batch to be created as it's own "thing" with specific persistant properties holding that data. Or would it be more logical to have a "batches" table which has an uptime/units produced/yield column? Would it be better to have each batch identification number a "tag" and then have an uptime data table where each row is tagged with that batch identification number?    I guess what I'm getting at

when I select first value using drop down widget, 2nd value should be limited. how to do this service? for example. if I select production Volume---Milk----UHT Small Pack, in SKU drop down list, it cannot show Whipping Cream 1000 ml.  

Hello, I would like to ask, if it is possible to bind PLC tag not only to thing's property but also to infotable row?   To understand my problem, which I am trying to solve: In PLC I have a collection of items. Every item has 2 tags (int, bool). And I was curious, if it is possible to use infotable for this task, instead of 2 times of collection size of separate properties, which are bind to PLC tags? I am using ThingWorx Foundation 8.5.0   Thank you

This is the first article of series: Thingworx Analytics introduction. 2nd article introduces Non Time Series TTF(Time to Failure) prediction. 3rd article introduces Time Series TTF prediction.   In year 2015, PTC acquired Machine Learning company ColdLight, and integrate its products into Thingworx, and renamed to Thingworx Analytics. PTC Thingworx Analytics Help Site lists its functions: Explanatory Analytics: such as to identify a signal’s value Descriptive Analytics: such as calculation of average value, median value, and standard deviation value. Model Generation: model creation of prediction, includes some popular Machine Learning algorithm. Predictive Scoring: to predict result value based on trained model and parameters. Prescriptive Scoring: to change result values by modifying model parameters. Confidence Models: convert prediction result into rates of value ranges. Anomaly Detection: to filter out abnormal signals by comparing high and low limits. Time Series P

Hello everyone! I try to use 'GetProjectName()', that you can find for example in 'EntitySevices'. But how it works? This function don't have any params, so how should I use it? When I choose this function in services list, I get this:   var result = Resources["EntityServices"].GetProjectName();    And of course, result is always empty.    Thank you in advance. 

Hi everyone,   I am interested in a method to connect directly to the chromatography equipment  ÄKTAxpress from GE Healthcare. Could it be done without connecting to  Software UNICORN?   Which Driver could be helpful in this situation?   Thank you! Best Regards Olena      

Have created Two Scheduler Things to run on every hour(set using cron pattern). However subscriptions of each schedulers fire at different time(currently with a difference of 1 minute).   1. Is there any way to execute Schedulers to run at same time instead of two different times?   2. Also is there a way to set Scheduler to run at start of every hour (e.g 01:00), when set to execute 1 hour in cron pattern?(Currently Scheduler trigger every hour but not at start of hour.) E.g. Expecting to execute Scheduler to execute at 01:00, 02:00, 03:00..etc instead of 01:32,02:32,03:32..etc   Thanks!

While I'm doing some work in order to display remote data in time series chart,  I created valueStream  I defined a Thing with this valueStream to memorize all remote data value , of course, all properties are logged on .but finally when I try to execute  QueryPropertyHistory service ,it return "Unable to Invoke Service QueryPropertyHistory on Testprop : java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to retrieve entry"Any explication about this issue ?  

Hello Experts,   Multi Selection Combo Box in list widget is not working....I think I am missing in Bindings or configuration. I tested the SQL service with 2 inputs as shown in attached files, but on UI multi selection is not giving me result. This works good for single selection on combo box, but not works when multiple selection is done. attached results in both cases.      if its binding problem, then how should I pass this selected multiple inputs to the next query ?

Hello everyone,   I've been trying to create 'Thing' in a batch mode, and I've decided to use the Resources["EntityServices"] CreateThing().    The service seems to work as intended. However, I can verify that the 'Thing' properties of my newly created Thing do not have the 'Default Values' I have configured. Has anyone had an issue with this in the past?    Note: I'm using v8.4.1

This is the 2nd article of series: Thingworx Analytics introduction. 1st article introduces Analytics Function and Modules. 3rd article introduces Time Series TTF prediction.   This article is for TTF(Time to Failure) prediction, it is quite useful in IoT applications. Environment: Thingworx Platform 8.5, Analytics Server 8.5, Analytics Extension 8.5.   Step 1, configure Analytics setting. Click Analytics icon >> Analytics Manager >> Analysis Providers, create a new Analysis Provider, Connector = TW.AnalysisServices.AnalyticsServer.AnalyticsServerConnector. Click Analytics Builder >> Setting, select and set Analytics Server.   Step 2, create Analysis Data. We need to prepare a CSV format data file and a JSON format data type file. For CSV file, its 1st line is its header, should be equivalent with definition in JSON file. JSON file structure can refer to: --------------------------------------------------- [        {  

Hi all,   I am connecting to ThingWorx 8.5 foundation server using Java SDK. I need to validate the credentials while connecting via ConnectedThingsClient. If the validation fails, I need the proper error message showing exact reason. i.e.  I am expecting separate exceptions like server down, server is not responding, invalid username/password, connection timeout. But ConnectedThingsClient.connect() throws a generic Exception object, with error message regarding the Connection Timed out.    I came across the documentation for v6.0.9, where they have mentioned some entension classes like - ThingworxBasicAuthenticator , Authenticator and CustomAuthenticator etc. The link https://support.ptc.com/help/thingworx_hc/thingworx_8_hc/en/index.html#page/ThingWorx/Help/Composer/Security/Authenticators/AuthenticatorSampleExtensionConfiguration.html explains the usage of ThingworxBasicAuthenticator as well as shows how to write a custom au

I am using Mail Server Extension (Version 3.6.0) that I downloaded from PTC Marketplace. I have Imported this Extension and created a Thing. 1. Now, when I try Executing the inbuilt "SendMessage" Service of MailServer Thing Template Emails are being sent without any problem and I can see the same emails in my Gmail Sent box. But, when the same is configured using the Notifications it doesn't work, it just doesn't send any email. However when I wrote a subscription to debug it I get "NotificationSent" Notification Event. This is weird. I am using Gmail SMTP Service. 2. The other issue I am facing is that whenever I send an email to my Outlook Work Mail ID the email just doesn't get delivered. However, Thingworx says that the message was delivered and I could also see the same email from my Gmail Sent Box. To check if my Gmail Email ID was blacklisted on the work account, I just sent a normal email (from Gmail Web application) from my Gmail account to the Outlook and it works p

Hello, I'm doing the tutorial to build an Analytical Model. The steps are quick and easy and yet I've got an innacurate model at the end. Here is the dataset provided in the tutorial. I create a model with the basic configuration using all indicators with low_grease boolean as goal (same as the tutorial). I don't undestand what I'm doing wrong. Any clue?   Tutorial result :   My result :   Philippe

I am trying to install the most recent Thingworx 8.5 trial on a Windows 10 Pro Azure VM. The installer always fails with "A problem occurred during installation that may cause an unsuccessful installation. foundation Installation Failed" and then I get another message, "There has been an error. ThingWorx Foundation Trial for H2 installation failed. Please check the logs. The application will exit now." We've tried this install multiple times, with different developer accounts, both SSL and not, to no avail. Upon checking the logs, it looks like the install of the chef client failed (this happens every time). See below (also attached log files). I need this install to develop a POC for a customer, and cannot begin development until we can actually install the trial. Any help is appreciated.   "Executing C:\opscode\chef\bin\chef-clientError running C:\opscode\chef\bin\chef-client -z --config "C:/PROGRA~2/ThingWorxFoundationH2Trial-8.5.0\installer\foundation\knife.rb" -j "C:/PROGRA~2

Hi ,   i have bound the infotable data (All data) to Label chart but unable to see infotable fields in Properties of Chart. as i have to select specific field as x axis and display field. using  TWX  8.5.0.   Thanks 

We are not able to establish Thingworx (8.3) connection with one of  external Microsoft SQL server database. May I know which log file will provide the information like reason for failing. Could you please provide debugging techniques. We could able to connect other databases from the same Thingworx server.  The issue we observed in production server (Linux) with new use case. We could able to establish connection with this database from SQL studio and network confirmed that firewall port is open between these servers.   Appreciate your early response.

How do i drag pop up mashup over main mashup screen in runtime in thingworx 8.5.2?
