ThingWorx

Hi PTC Team, We are having the issue in creating the Geo fence in the google maps.

Hi. Can I please see a simple example on how to change the value of a property from a javascript service? A property on the same thing the service is running on. I'm struggling a little on figuring this out and finding the proper documentation.   I can get the property object through the Things["TestThing"].GetPropertyDefinition() function but what then? How do I know the name of the thing that invoked the service? Must it be an input parameter 😞  

I have installed thingworx foundation downloadable trial version one machine and thingworx industrial connectivity on another machine.   I am following below guide while establishing connection between thingworx foundation and thingworx industrial connectivity https://developer.thingworx.com/en/resources/guides/thingworx-industrial-connectivity-guide   This guide assumes that you are utilizing the hosted Foundation server in combination with the downloadable Industrial Connectivity. It also mention that some instruction requires modification in case of "downloadable Foundation trial". In my case the above mentioned guide does not work. I am not sure what are the steps which required modification in case of hosted foundation server. Please let me know if any one had tried the same for hosted Foundation server. I am also attaching the connection settings for thingworx industrial connectivity and error I am getting while establishing connection between foundation and industrial

Hey guys,   I'm working on a project and got a simple problem. I've got an InfoTable which is feeded with data from an Oracle database.   In this InfoTable I have one column which is editable (orange rectangle in first screen).         I would like to change the content from "HELLO"  to , in this example, "HELLO WORLD!" (orange rectangle in second screen).     Then I have a button which calls a service when clicked.   In this service I would like to retrieve the changed information from the column and make an update with this new information on my external Oracle database.   Haven't seen a solution for that so far.   To resume the problem:   How can I get the edited values of an InfoTable and save them in an external database?     Thanks for your help      

Hi,   I tried to make the following training:https://developer.thingworx.com/en/resources/guides/customizable-responsive-ui/ui-completed-samples   But the dashboard is not working. On the left side I have a list, when I select an element of the list the content of the dashboard should be actualized. This is not happening. According to me it seems that the property worldName of the gadget is never bind to a value, but I don't know how to do this. Do you have an idea how to do that? 

Similar to this case , I have trouble because of the tag names on the KepServerEX.  We are adding Thingworx to an existing KepServerEX solution which has been validated by quality.  The plant will not allow me to change the names. 2019-09-10 17:51:35.681+0000 [L: ERROR] [O: c.t.w.Things] [I: ] [U: Administrator] [S: ] [T: https-jsse-nio-443-exec-2] [message: Import Failed: Invalid Name: [20565M3_20565M3_Assembly_Total] - Digits are not permitted at the begining of name] Is there a workaround.

Hello,   we're using .Net SDK and want to make sure that the connection is re-established after losing it. The Properties of the ClientConfigurator object are default and look good: AutoReconnect = true ConnectRetries = -1 ConnectTimeOut = 10000 ReconnectInterval = 60 PongTimeout = 10000 My expectations are, that after losing the connection to the ThingWorx server and re-establishing it, the ThingWorx client noticed that and makes a reconnect to the server.  Is there anything to do manually to get the reconnection?     Best regards, Sascha        

When you are do dev work and when testing, you obviously need to do this in the context of data from devices in the field streaming in...   It is not practical to have a set of "test or dev" devices as this would provide neither a realistic breadth of data nor the volume of data against which to dev or test.   I have been wondering how people work with this problem.   This got me to thinking, could one use something like the connection server and then split your updates to two ThingWorx instances?   Any other ideas on how to handle this?

Trying to do exactly the same thing and I'm getting an issue.   I'm querying a datatable, and passing this query (below). If I run the QueryDataTable entries with this query, it returns no results. If I just change the Station parameter to be "EQ" and just add the machine name as a string, the query works as expected (returning 40+ results).    What gives? What am I doing wrong?           var machineArray = ['my_machine_name'];   var query = {"filters": {"type": "And","filters": [{"type": "IN","fieldName": "Station","value": machineArray},{"type": "EQ","fieldName": "Program","value": Transmission}, {"type": "EQ","fieldName": "Operation","value": Operation}]}};   var myQueryResults = Things["Ford.PFS.GM.Historian.Repository"].QueryDataTableEntries({maxItems: 200000 /* NUMBER */,values: undefined /* INFOTABLE */,query: query /* QUERY */,source: undefined /* STRING */,tags: undefined /* TAGS */});

Hi, I am currently displaying 8 variables in a time chart. I get the values from a database query service. However, I would like to setup a list (or a checkbox list) where I can select the database columns to show in the chart (one or multiple at the same time). Do you have any hint for this?    Kind regards, Marco

Hi there! I have a requirement to print out barcode labels automatically. I have a Zebra web printer, which can print out barcode labels based on ZPL command text. Basically, the process is to generate ZPL command codes and output it as a long string, and then send this string to Zebra printer. However in ThingWorx, I cannot call Windows printers automatically. Any ideas or advise? Thanks a lot!

Whenever I attempt to use the '.includes()' method on string in ThingWorx composer, I always get an error saying that the .includes method can not be found on the object. I even log the type of the variable that I am trying to edit, just to make sure it is in fact a string. And I still can not get around this.   Here's an example of what I'm talking about:   var myString = 'I am trying to debug some crazy ThingWorx issues'; var myBoolean = myString.includes('ThingWorx');   *the above code will throw the error: 'TypeError: Cannot find function includes in object I am trying to debug some crazy ThingWorx issues. (GetProcessPartID#22)]'   But if I log 'typeof myString', it will log 'string'.   What gives?!

What is the best way for configure timer which will check changes(like adding/updating/removing file) in my file repository and get info about created/updated/removed file(like name, date of changing etc.)

Hello guys,   I would like to know if it is possible bind more than one single service to the same grid.   The idea is to have different buttons (four in my case) and every button calls a different service to show data in the grid (DataShape and everything necessary remains the same) .   So Button1 calls a service which shows apples and bananas, Button2 calls a service which shows oranges and strawberries, and so on...   I hope what I have requested is possible.   Kind regards    

what will happen if i install thingworx on local computer which is not windows server 12 or 16       Thanks & Regards Bharathan

Hi   I had created mashup which contains two different widgets i.e Google Map widget and time series widget. The time series widget location shows the "Tank Level" and google map widget shows the tank location. I had used the service available for Thing Templates to bind the data to widgets. I had used "GetImplementingThingsWithData" service to bind location with Google Map widget. Also I had used "QueryImplementingThingsWithPropertyHistory" service to bind tank level with TimeSeries chart widget. I had create 3 things whose data (i.e. location and tank level) I am sending to thingworx. I can see the all three location getting displayed on the google map widget. But I am not able to see the data from all three things in time series chart. The chart looks very weird. Is there any way by which I can show the chart for thing whose location is pressed on google map or any other way to achieve this. Please find the mashup for your reference.

Hi all.   Currently I am working with a new responsive (advanced) mashup because I want to create a responsive dashboard.    In this case, I have two monitors. One with the resolution 1920 x 1080 (20") and other is the notebook with the resolution 1366 x 768 (14").   However, there are widget that does not responsive, so I need put on in front the widget panel and when I to run the mashup and change the monitor the widgets (that does not responsive) widgets don't look right on screen.   I am going to let the mashup's print below to facilitate understanding.   My question is: Is possible to create widgets responsives? If yes, how?
