ThingWorx

Good day,   I am working with the MQTT extension and have a few questions.    Regarding subscribing to topics: In other MQTT client and broker tools it is possible to subscribe to a topic using wildcards like '+' and '#' and in the document for support case CS246701(https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article?n=CS246701) they do discuss this functionality:  But it does not seem to work if I add it as a mapping topic e.g. /Thingworx/+/Thing1/Property1  instead of /Thingworx/Dev/Thing1/Property1.   Is there a way to get this functionality to work in Thingworx?   Regarding publishing topics: As part of the Java library being used by the extension (mqttv3.jar (MQTT client library)) there is functionality built in by default called "isRetained" I believe. This stores the last message published on a topic on the broker. I can't find the functionality to enable the retain function when a topic is published.   Is there a way to enable

Hello,What is the best solution for connecting a YOKOGAWA DCS with Thingworx?I know that I will use kepware but what should I do in the hardware. Without using  an Ethernet cable. because the DCS is very far from the server where Thingworx is installed.   We have a DCS yokogawa connected to laptop through ethernet from switch.

For a lightweight data broker collecting field data and sending it into Thingworx I wish to use the C SDK. The underlying hardware runs a custom embedded linux and I have a cross-compiler on a host system with Ubuntu 14.04. I am developing my application in C++.   The optimal solution in my point of view would be that I can treat the SDK like a library: Compiling the bare SDK code into a shared library, include all necessary header files in my project and link against the .so. Am I missing something critical here? Is that even possible in the first place? I figured that the SDK has a dependency to an OpenSSL distribution at least, are there more external libraries to be regarded?   I have to admit that I haven't used CMake until now and struggle a little to understand how I can include the SDK into my Eclipse project using the simple GNU make builder. Also, it'd be awesome to have different build profiles (actually I have two right now, one that compiles a slimmed version to

When I try to import any extension to Thingworx, this error appears. What's the problem?  

I have installed Docker 18.03.0-ce as per instructions given in installation guide. Still I get the error as mentioned in attached screen shot. After pressing 'OK' on the error popup, it said, "Installation failed or aborted, rolling back". I have also attached the logs.   Can you please see and tell what's wrong with my installation?

Hello all,   my company asked me to do a simple demo of a data plot with some excel data to evaluate the ease of implementation of thingworx. More complex apps will be next. Can someone point me to some tutorials, documentation... to do this? I only need to import the excel csv data and then be able to code my custom styles and limits in the chart (a scatter plot).   Thank you!

how does a validator work?

Hello all!   If I follow the learning "Build a Predictive Analytics Model" (https://developer.thingworx.com/resources/guides/analytics-builder-quickstart/analytics-builder-setup)   First problem is that the   binding of the data "analytics vibration"  does not  go over the  progress ... status. So after i while i click cancel, because nothing happens.  Nevertheless i see the data then  with status "completed". Then i go on to "Signals"  an follow the steps.  I can see the   different sensor names  s1_fb1 ... but  no values on the right. It´s not loading.  At this point im loosing every time the connection to thingworxbuilder and also to composer. The builder does not react any more if  i switch for example to settings...   Status message: Could not load "TW_ML_Signals_Horizontal_v1". Reason: 200 -   If i check docker container ls  status  i see that  twxfoundation is not 

I have modified 'AdafruitDHT.py' script from the tutorial to connect AM2302 sensor to thingworx, and used it to bind DS18B20 sensor.Following is the script I have used to replace existing file in line 57 of 'TempAndHumidityThing':import w1thermsensorsensor = w1thermsensor.DS18B20pin = '4'temperature = w1thermsensor.read_retry(sensor, pin)if temperature is not None:print('Temp={0:0.1f}*C'.format(temperature))    sys.exit(1)It gives 'command not found' errorCan anyone please help?

Hello, I am running Thingworx Composer and Thingworx Analytics Server (for 8.2) on two seperate Docker Containers on the same VM. Both are installed correctly according to the verification process. Unfortunatly, if I am trying to install and configure the Thingworx Analytics Extensions, I am not able to enter the FormLogin for configuring the Analytics Builder due to incorrect credentials ( "Credentials do not match a valid username-password combination for this Organization. Try again."). I followed the Installation guide on the following page: https://support.ptc.com/help/thingworx_hc/thingworx_analytics_7/index.html#page/thingworx_analytics_7%2Fanalytics-install-comm-settings.html%23 The error has been reproduced by my collegue on a different Installation. What could be the reason for this issue? Best regards, Cedrik Laue

Hello community, (Post about thingworkx analytics)   I was curious about the difference from signals that come from a model (where you build a model and then create a signal from inside the model view) and signals that are made from the signals section.From how I understood signals are calculated, there should be no difference (i.e. no influence from the model), although, after running some tests, we have noticed they are indeed different. The model choice does not appear to influence the signal values, but values that come from the two different section are different. Could someone please explain me this difference ?Which of the two should I use ? Thank you for all your time,Bernardo

Hi,   I try to create a thing that export things and data via "ThingWorx Git Extension" automatically via scheduler (for example every night). Exporting things is not a problem. But how can I programmatically export data? Is there any service or ressource that can do this?   Thanks in advance.

Hi, I am looking for on Analytics which I can start things from scratch on my Thingworkx installation.   The guides which are available  are based on the Trail Edition,  For example "Operationalize an Analytics Model" does not work on full fledged version of Thingworx because  - ThingPredictor is installed and configured to point to Analytics Manager automatically as part of the installation of the Analytics Trial Edition (ATE).    The guide does not explain how to install and configure ThingPredictor I would like to start doing a tutorial from scratch so that I get the full end to end concepts clear. Can anyone of you help me with this ?   Regards Girish      

Hello,   i installed ThingWorx Anlaytics Trial version.   Unfortunately it does not run properly because i  am not able to see  the AnalyticsThings or can do the AnalyticsServer Configuration.  Please see my screenshots and log files of  the installation.   Thanks for your help!

Hello,   i´m trying for the last two days to get ThingWorx  Analytics working and communicate with ThingWorx foundation. I can not find the Analytics Things, which will be created with the installation in   the Composer. I checked the installation files and  most likely the problem is caused by a problem with the Docker containers. Please check my installation log files . I would appreciate your help very much.   Thank you      - OS Windows 10 Pro - Docker  for Windows  - Running Linux Containers, 8gb memory - Local ThingWorx Trial Edition Installation      

I was trying to create a Thing using Postman. I put the appKey and Content-Type = application/json as suggested in this website: https://developer.thingworx.com/resources/guides/thingworx-rest-api-quickstart/use-rest-api-create-new-thing   The status code is 500 Internel Server Error and it says "Unable to Invoke Service CreateThing on EntityServices : No name provided in CreateThing".   Thanks.

Hello everyone, I'm try to practice the Azure IoT Hub Connector, I follow the guide at http://support.ptc.com/help/thingworx_hc/thingworx_cx_services/#page/thingworx_cx_services%2Fazure_connector%2Fc_azure_connector_hc_top_level_page.html%23 , the connector service is work as well. but when I try the next step to launch the "Edge Device Demo", I got error as below. can anyone help me to identify the problem?

Hello, While importing 'AllEntities.twx' or 'AllEntities.xml'  on Thingworx composer, sometimes I get an error while importing, saying that a particular entity was not found.   As a practice I have tagged all my entities and while exporting I am using that tag to export all the entities.   So probable cause of failing during import, I assume, lies in the fact the order in which the entities are getting imported in a composer environment. I would give an example to better explain my assumption, say I have a "DataTable-A" entity which depends on "DataShape-A", and while importing AllEntities, somehow "DataTable-A" starts to import first, but since the relevant dependency of "DataShape-A" was missing, the import step failed.   So I would like to know, first, if my understanding or assumption is correct, and second, is there a way to prevent this?   One way I figured out was to export the entities individually and then importing them in the right order manually, li

I am trying to use this file provided by the tutorial on "Get Started with ThingWorx for IoT" to simulate data source but the file is not giving me what I am suppose to have, rather the error message below is displayed.   This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.   I have no idea what to do. the file for source code attached. 

Hi,   I have ATE 8.2 installed on windows 10.  Tried to accomplish this tutor Build and Deploy an Analytics Model. I'm able to create an Analytic provider, but during the verification step at Connected Clients tab I see an error message "No data available for Connected Clients" instead of "green square",   I checked "predictionms" docker container, it looks good.  And I can't see any error messages in the thingpredictor.log file.   Could you please advise me what else can be done to identify the problem?

Hi all,   So this as happened three times now: We run a profile job and it is eternally calculating and not succeeding in retrieving results.   I would like to ask if there is a way to stop an analytics running job ? (apparently a running profile job cannot be deleted in the builder).Also I would like to know if this has happened to any one of you ?I suspect this might be a bug, because in the other 2 times this happened eventually it failed (after 1 day). And the error seemed to be a Java exception for an impossible convertion between Integer and String, which is explained by a field of data type: Integer and opType: Categorical. Changing the data type to String solved this problem. This impeded our (and anyone's) work since no new profiles can be processed until the last one finishes.   Thank you for all your time,Regards,  Bernardo

I have a Thing and valuestream associated to that. Have made properties of that thing logged and persistent so that I can use valuestream for time series. I'm able to get the same in a mashup.   If I wanted to write a service which will perform the same function as an export widget in a mashup, I would be able to invoke service every x mins to export the property history to csv   Thanks in advance
