ThingWorx

I installed a new Thingworx server last week. I created a couple of things and a simple mashup - it contains a text box where I enter a value, a button, and a gauge that displays that value when I click the button. The styles of all the widgets showed colors. However, upon viewing the mashup, everything was black and white - the button was supposed to be blue, but it was white; the gauge was supposed to have an orange needle, but the needle wasn't there (I'm assuming it was white), no background, and the border and numbers were black when they were supposed to be colored according to the style. I viewed the mashup from 3 different PCs (including different browsers: IE10, Firefox 34, Chrome) and all were in black and white.After rebooting the server, now all the styles are gone. In the Mashup properties, they are shown as "Not Found". A red Reset button appears next to them when I hover over them, but clicking it does nothing. If I click the magic wand to search for Style Definitions, i

Hello all,                  I am trying to find out the possible ways to import the CAD file into the ThingWorx platform. i referred a paper which i have enclosed along with this post. In the paper under the case study a detailed explanation of linking Aras with ThingWorx is given along with the flowchart.  It will be helpful if some expert can explain the detailed procedure of the integration process that is mentioned in the attached paper. thanks in advance.   

Hi all:   Does anyone use InfluxDB to record history data?   I try to use "PostText()" And "PostJSON()"   But I can't get right response.   Here is my script:  QueryDB var params = { url: "http://" + me.host + ":" + me.port + "/query?db=" + p_database, contentType: "application/x-www-form-urlencoded", content: "q:SELECT * FROM sensor;", timeout: 10, username: me.user, password: me.password }; var result = Resources["ContentLoaderFunctions"].PostText(params);   InsertDB var params = { url: "http://" + me.host + ":" + me.port + "/query?db=" + p_database, content: "sensor,type=123,way=222 value={"p_water":0.0,"p_power_value":-1}", timeout: 10, username: me.user, password: me.password }; var result = Resources["ContentLoaderFunctions"].PostText(params);   Usually I get timeout, but it is successful to execute on the Postman.  

Hello everyone,   i am trying to delete the Analytics extension from my composer. While following these steps, i cant delete the ThingWorx_Analytics_Builder_Extension because "the following Extension entities are still in use: AnalyticsServerFiltersInstance".   Examining this entity i found out it depends on the TW_ML_Helper Thing and thus can't be deleted. So tried to delete the TW_ML_Helpter thing, but this can't be deleted because it is an extension Entity. Also Its services which remove the filters do not remove the AnalyticsServerFiltersInstance.   When i try to forcibly remove the extensions via the ThingworxStorage/extensions folder, these folderes get recreated once i restard tomcat.   Any ideas how to solve this?   Kind Regards, Dominik

  There is a SearchRecords-service for PTC.Resource.WQS.SearchUtils Thing. With its help I want to find the project and the system, related to particular part (record in other words). But I can't understand the meaning of its input parameters. Should I enter the name of my part to SearchText-field or something else? And what exactly should I enter to ConfigThingName-field?   Does anyone know?

I noticed in the advanced tree grid that although it returns the "Selected Rows" as an output Infotable,  it does not change the selected rows from the Input Data Service. Is it the way it is supposed to work?   I explain: I have a service that queries another system to created the tree. Bound the "AllData" output of this service to the tree row and configured the widget properties. Bound one property the "Selected Rows" data to a value widget.   I expected that the Value widged data would change as I select the different rows in the tree.   I noticed that if I bind the selected rows output from the widged to a grid it returns the infotable from that selection but I was not able to get a single value of that selection to bind to the value widget.   Any thought on this?   Thanks Ewerton

I have Windows 10 Education, and installed Docker 18.03.1-ce-win65. When I was trying to install ThingWorx Analytics 8.2 on my computer, it stuck in the process of installing: create image for analytic server (another window said installing Thingworx Analytic Server). This took more than two hours. I am wondering, normally, how long it takes to install the tool.  Is there anything I should check to make sure I am installing it correctly?   Thanks!

Hello, I have a datetimepicker for selecting the "start date" and another datetimepicker for "end date" on my mashup. Now I would like to make a validation that "start date" cannot be greater than "end date" and if user selects "start date" which is greater than "end date" I should be able to show a popup message reflecting the error. To show the popup, I understood that I can use "statusmessage" widget. But I am not able to understand the philosophy to use that widget. "statusmessage" widget uses a bindable service "show message", which I think can only be bound to events. So how do I fulfil this requirement. I am not able to find enough details/tutorials on using "statusmessage" widget. Please suggest. Thanks and Regards Aditya Mittal

Hi. I have created an Organization say "Org" with two units "Unit A". and "Unit 2". And i have created one thing called "Thing 1". I gave visibility permissions as "Unit A" can able to see "Thing 1". Now i am editing an Organization unit "Unit A" to "Unit B". I am getting a message like "Please be careful! Changing the name of an Organizational Unit may have unintended consequences if it is already being used in visibility permissions on other ThingWorx entities."  Is there any possibility to edit the Organization unit name without affecting the Visibility permissions of entity?

Just developing my skills. After creating my MashUps, I could lunch them without issue but supplying data to it has become an issue. Clicking the "View mashup" menu does not launch the mashup again after linking the data. The data is created from a file though, not from real thing.   How do I fix this?

I have been using THINGWORX EVALUATION SERVER for some days now. I even use it last night. But it fail to launch now. What could be the problem?

  This issue pertains to a particular Thing Name I am trying to recreate. It seems something is corrupted. I can create other Templates and Things OK using a script which creates them both in sequence. Only one particular thing name is problematic.   I am using Rest API to issue Delete on my template and thing that inherits from it {{TW_HOST}}/Thingworx/ThingTemplates/TT_MyTemplate {{TW_HOST}}/Thingworx/Things/TT_MyTemplate_MyThing   I run it once just in case and I am getting: Object With This Name [TT_MyTemplate] Does Not Exist Object With This Name [TT_MyTemplate_MyThing] Does Not Exist ..which is perfectly fine since previously these entities were erased.   Than I call a service: CreateTemplateAndThing that creates the template and attempts to create the thing inheriting from it. Since the script is failing when attempting to create the thing, it seems TT_MyTemplate is created  in some corrupted mode (the only way to see it is in "Uses this entity

At some point I start receiving this error. I don't know what might have changed. I am usually the only on on TW machine.   Wrapped java.io.FileNotFoundException: /ThingworxStorage/repository/ModelsFileRepository/Folder/SubFolder1/model1.json (Permission denied)    My script executes this at some point after figuring out the path and the content. Target folder for the json file is correct (i.e it exists) Things["ModelsFileRepository"].SaveJSON(params);   If it is about permissions what should I do to enable permissions. I am running from TW agent using Web socket or Rest API using an administrator appKey.   Thanks, Rad

Hello all                 i need to transfer the data from the Aras PLM to the ThingWorx platform. Please help me to find out the answer for this. thanks in advance.

Hello All, As part of my internship, I am using Arduino to update remote thingworx properties. I implmented my first arduino program. I started in this program with pushing static values. But REST call from my arduino is not updating properties values. Although from browser it successfully updates properties.I am using:    1- Thingworx 8.2.1-b140    2- Arduino 1.8.5 leonardo ETHThe output of my code is the following:   My IP address: *************** connected to the server Connexion: prop0: 11.00 prop1: 22.00 client: 1 server: pp-1805191146zt.devportal.ptc.io appKey: 9bc83f49-adab-46c5-9017-93fe992eaf6a thingName: myThing serviceName: myThingService nameArray0: arduino_value1 nameArray1: arduino_value2 connected2 POST /Thingworx/Things/myThing/Services/myThingService?appKey=9bc83f49-adab-46c5-9017-93fe992eaf6a&method=post&x-thingworx-session=true<&arduino_value1=11.00&arduino_value2=22.00> HTTP/1.1 Host: pp-1805191146zt.devportal.ptc.

Can someone please explain this service to me? I am trying to be able to create subscriptions from a mashup and this seems to be the closest thing I have to work with but I want the ability to add them at a template level, which I would think is what this service meant by "dynamic" but it has a thingName parameter so what exactly does this do? And what is the serviceName parameter for? Is that a service that will execute when the subscription is triggered?Thanks for the help!

Hi, does thingworx support hadoop? is the connection possible?
