ThingWorx

I am working on a scalable Thingworx project at the moment. I have "n" sensors that will be connected to the platform through the Internet (Wi-fi or Ethernet). I am currently building the application on Thingworx, but I have no idea how many devices will connect to the platform (this number could range from hundreds to thousands of devices). I am trying to work around a solution that ideally would allow for instant connectivity to Thingworx whenever I connect the device to the Internet. How can I achieve this?   I thought of writing the firmware in a way that when the device is turned on and connected to the Internet for the first time, it would emit a REST call to create a remote thing on the server using the device's serial number as the name, and then the device would enter an infinite loop for updating that thing's properties through REST calls. However, as I said, this is a scalable project, I think of manufacturing my own hardware and writing my own firmware. How can I previ

Hi! I am trying to send data from two waspmotes to ThingWorx using the guide available from Libelium. I followed the steps exactly but I am not able to get it to contact ThingWorx servers. The devices don't show up in Unbound Connections. But when I use the ThingWorx Academic Simulator using the same Server URL, Application Key and Port, I am able to see Unbound Connections and to set it up as a remote thing. The Meshlium can ping successfully to websites like google and facebook but not to ThingWorx.

Hi, Is there any way we can set http status code and header in javascript code in service? We want to call that service through REST and wanted to have proper HTTP status code and header in response.   Core ThingWorx services gives proper HTTP status code e.g. 401 but we are not able to see how it is done for new services.   Any help/suggestions will be really helpful .

Hi Developers,   I'm starting on a project which involves Thingworx manufacturing apps. I need to know if the following versions are compatible with each other.   ThingWorx Platform 8.3 OS : Windows Server 2012 R2 JDK : 1.8.0_92-b14 (64-bit) Tomcat :  minimum version of 8.0.47 or 8.5.23 PostgreSQL : 9.4.19   ThingWorx Industrial Connectivity 8.3 Windows Server 2012 x64 R2   ThingWorx Manufacturing Apps Extension 8.1.2 ThingWorx 8.3.x KEPServerEX 6.2 and later  I couldn't find any compatibility matrix between the above mentioned products.    In the PTC Smart Connected Applications page should i download the Manufacturing Apps Extension from1. Release APPs >> ThingWorx Manufacturing Apps Extension >> Most Recent Datecode (or) 2. Release 8.3 >> ThingWorx Manufacturing Apps Extension >> Most Recent Datecode   Is the Industrial Connectivity version dependent on&nb

Hello, I'm following the manual in order to create an anomaly alert and, so far, I've seen they need to be set on remote thing. I have a thing (not remote) with Timer as base template. I have a subscription such that every 5 seconds updates its property and I have an anomaly alert on this. It's just a test because I want to learn how anomaly alert works.   My issue is that I get the status in Calibrating and after a while it get Failed.   Do you have any suggestions about why this happens?   Thank you

Hello, I tried to use a standard Javascript method 'startsWith' which is used to determine, if a certain string begins with the characters of a specified string. But I was not able to use the same in one of my scripts. What could be the probable reason for the same?

Hello, I am creating an entity (say Thing) using service as -  var params = { name: "TEST_THING"/* STRING */, description: "" /* STRING */, thingTemplateName: "GenericThing" /* THINGTEMPLATENAME */, tags: "MODELTAG:Tag1," /* TAGS */ }; // no return Resources["EntityServices"].CreateThing(params); This is working fine. My query is how can I give multiple model tags at entity creation time? Suppose I want to give "Tag2" also, how can I do that? I am aware of the services 'AddTags' and 'SetTags'. These services are called once entities are created. But I wanted to know if there is a way to assign multiple tags at creation time. Thanks in advance Aditya

Hello, I am facing the same problem while configuring the MS SQL server with ThingWorx-Trial-Edition-8-2 https://community.ptc.com/t5/ThingWorx-Developers/Re-Need-files-related-to-configuration-of-SQL-Server-on/td-p/524016   I am trying to configure MS SQL server to thingworx. As per the installation guide it says " Obtain the database setup script (thingworxMssqlDBSetup.bat) from the ThingWorx software download." But in the download folder I don't see this file. Can you guide me in getting the required file.   Regards,   Where can we find the file?   Best regards

Is it possible to set a timezone for a mashup so the datetime values show the context of the specified timezone? I'm using the CreatePDF extension to create a PDF of a Time Series Chart.  Since the CreatePDF essentially logs itself into the server in the background then takes a snapshot, I have my mashup set to query data based on timestamps saved to a Thing.  My problem is that the dates shown in the PDF chart are hours ahead of the datetime values that I'm saving and feeding into the service.  I believe it is showing the UTC time.  Could Localization Tables help with this?  Just trying to find a way to do this without having to manipulate the timestamps of the query data. Thanks!

Hi,I wish to know more about the current available MQTT support in ThingWorx. I understand it is available through MQTT extension, but it doesn't seems to have a detailed documentation on it in this community.Can you please explain the level of integration of MQTT support in ThingWorx, and how does it communicate to the MQTT device through ThingWorx, and if any message broker involved etc.? Also, it is much appreciated if you could point me to any available detailed documentation/link and if there is any sample demo ThingWorx application that could be referred to.Thanks in advance.

Hello, I have a question about two "get property value" functions.   There are two get property functions in C-SDK  1. twPrimitive * twExt_GetPropertyValue(const char * thingName, char * propertyName);    2. int twApi_ReadProperty(enum entityTypeEnum entityType, char * entityName, char * propertyName, twPrimitive ** result, int32_t timeout, char forceConnect);    What are differences of two functions?   When I try to get value of 'isConnected' property of Connectable shape, first function is failed and secod is success.    There is no explain about these... exactly..

Hi, I am trying to install ThingWorx Analytics Server 8.0 on my Windows 10 system. I am using docker 17.03.1-ce-win5. The installation gives no error. When accessing the site it gives "Site Can't Be Reached" error. I ran the command: docker logs analytics Error: psql: could not connect to server: Connection timed out Is the server running on host "10.0.75.1" and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 9000? Waiting for connection to PostgreSQL...     On running the command: docker ps -a it does show the respective container names as output.    Note: I also have a native installation of ThingWorx Foundation 8.0 running on a tomcat server instance at port 8080 with SQL connection which is working fine. I am using a existing PostgreSQL connection. Also disabling firewall is not a option.   Regards, Saurabh

I am trying to create a Anomaly type of alert on a Thing/ThingTemplate using REST call to AddOrUpdateAlert. But there is no way to set "Outbound Anomaly Rate", "Min Data Collection Time", "Certainty" and "Priority" properties, required for creating a Anomaly alert, through this API. I guess it must be through the "attributes" InfoTable input, but I am not sure how to pass these variables in this InfoTable. I couldn't find documentation also for the same. Could anyone please help on this?

Hi,   I have a time series dataset with the following metadata (json):     [ { "fieldName": "identifier", "dataType": "STRING", "opType": "ENTITY_ID" }, { "fieldName": "A", "dataType": "DOUBLE", "opType": "CONTINUOUS" }, { "fieldName": "B", "dataType": "DOUBLE", "opType": "CONTINUOUS" }, { "fieldName": "C", "dataType": "BOOLEAN", "opType": "BOOLEAN" }, { "fieldName": "time", "opType": "DOUBLE", "dataType": "TEMPORAL", "timeSamplingInterval": 1 } ] With this and some rows of data (csv) I create a time series dataset with the analytics builder. Than I create a model with goal "C". If I publish this model (via ThingPredictor) I get an Analyis Model with a weird datashape.   The datashape have some _A-offset......, _B-offset.........., _C-offset........ fields plus a key and a _predicted_C_mo field.
