ThingWorx

Hi,    We are implementing the Operator Advisor with an actual client, using the OA as an accelerator of our project. We still have some questions around deployment, which are not very clear to me in the guide.   What is the recommended way of doing a OA deployment? I mean we will have allot of additional tables and AP's added to the current data model. What are the best practices on how to update the database when we go from one environment to another? Should we write a service that updates the entire databasemodel?   Thanks for the help on this,    Jasper

Hi,   I would like to have a image at the background and a pointer in this image showing its positioning which comes from a UWB sensor. Would it be possible?   Thanks! Felipe Duarte

Hi @SebB ,   Per this topic:   We're currently using KepServerEX for the MQTT connection.    In Kepware we have data tag in which one string item is in the format as shown below.   { "customer": "ABC", "site": "ABC", "department": "ABC", "assettype": "A", "asset": "A01", "description": "Make or Model", "tags": [ { "component": "PLC", "tag": "MachineOn", "value": 1, "unit": "1/0-Running/Stopped" }, { "component": "PLC", "tag": "Length", "value": 11.99, "unit": "km" }, { "component": "PLC", "tag": "Temperature", "value": 45, "unit": "C" } ] } Since its in this json format i'm unable to use the OOTB Configuration App to directly map Machine status and other properties to the Asset. I've written a Subscription service to parse and map the corresponding properties.   Is there any better workaround for this. Can this heavy lifting part done at kepware side itself.   Regards, saran 

Hello Carles, I have been using the repeater widget for quite long exactly for these reasons you specified here. But with Thingworx 8.4, it is marked as a legacy widget and will soon be deprecated. Do you have any idea what the solution is then for having buttons/images in each row?   Thanks in advance.

Hello Team,   I need to get data from model things that has valuestream attached from Java. Any help will be appreciated     Thanks,Regards, Vijay

Hi I'm very new to working with Vuforia and ThingWorx so I have a few questions.   What I'm trying to do is to get some data from Vuforia Studio and then save it to a MySql database, based on my research I understand that this is possible using ThingWorx but I haven't been able to find documentation on how to achieve this... If anyone could explain to me what steps do I need to follow or direct me to a tutorial for me to follow it would be awesome.   Thank you 🙂

I am getting these errors in the Thingworx logs every second for one of my OPC Servers.   Bind request failed: [message: BindRequestMessage [requestId: 249229, method: BINDREQUEST, names: [FINDBZOPC1-GW]], error:{}]   Any idea about what could be the cause?   Let me know,

As seen in the screenshot below, there are no templates to choose from when I try to create a new value stream. What could be the reason for this? I'm using ThingWorx 8.3.4-b993 trial version.  

Wanted to share this example with the developers here.Main reason is that knowing what all to properly secure for Visibility and Permissions can be tough to keep track off.I saw one approach where all entities were in a table and a script applied the permissions, I think that is a great approach, but I am sharing an example here that is fully automatic.It also makes you incredibly powerful and dangerous as there are a few methods it show cases that could give you some awesome ideas! This Utility comes with two entities a database type Thing with services and a MashupYou need to configure the database type Thing to connect to your Persistence Provider because my code uses that to read the Mashup definition (alternate way would've been to export the mashup and read the XML but since that is asynch I didn't want to take on that challenge) The Mashup allows you to pick a Project, a User Group and an Organization. These must be pre-createdAlso of course all your entities need to be add
