ThingWorx

What is the best way to transfer files between the edge and thingworx if an SDK and websockets aren't available? The FTP extension seems like an obvious solution, however as far as I can tell it only supports FTP, not FTPS, SFTP, or any other protocol which encrypts data in transit. Can the REST API be used to upload files? I don't recall any sections on file transfers in its documentation.

I asked this question in a followup to another thread, but it makes sense as its own as well: what persistence, if any, is offered in a virtual directory? Let's say that I set up an edge device with an outgoing virtual directory, put some files on there, and wait. The server can see the files through the FileTransfer shape. If I delete those files on the edge device, the files disappear from the FileTransfer shape, but were are those files still visible from an upload sent to my Thingworx server? Can I make use of Thingworx Virtual Directory to copy files from an edge device for backup directly essentially, or do I need to have another "BackupThing" which listens for the appropriate event on the Thing that I care about and executes Copy services to move the files being backed up into the always-on "virtual" BackupThing for safe keeping?

Hi    I am having trouble receiving mail from the Gmail server. I have followed the Gmail instructions on how to set up a mail server from this link below: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7104828?hl=en&visit_id=1-636573974484421094-922945729&rd=1     I am able to send email from the SMTP Server. But my POP3 server that is receiving mail appears to be the issue. Have followed the Mail Extension Server Guide too.      Anybody else had a similar issue?   Any resolutions or guidance will be appreciated.   Thanks   Sean  

Hello everyone,   i am wondering whether you can retrieve the Header of an Infotable as an JSON file in such a way that it fits the format for TWx Analytics Datasets like explained here.   Or maybe the better question is, whether you normaly define these JSON files per hand (since it contains fields like "opType"). I would be already happy if it worked for the required fields only.   Anyway, any help and thoughts on this are appreciated very much.   Kind Regards, Dominik

Hello,I'm trying to use the Sigfox Extension with Thingworx 8 but unable to see how to integrate both. I know from experience that with Thingworx 7 and older you could pass the appKey in the URL and use the Custom Callback in Sigfox in BatchUrl Channel, but now with the deprecation of the appKey being passed in the URL, and this turning into a header I'm in dire need of assistance to integrate the Sigfox Extension that today is habiting in the marketplace with the newer version of Thingworx.I have made testes and you are able to use the URL channel in the Sigfox Backend, and in fact reaches the Thingworx machine but the Service CallbackDataBatch of the Sigfox Extension becomes useless since the method to be used with the Extension needs to be BatchURL.Do you have a sugestion for the people that are using the newer version of Thingworx and still want to use the Sigfox network? A new extension perhaps?Thank you.António Correia

Hello everyone,  i want do add a subscription to a Thing from within a script but i don't seem to be able to do so. I have tried using EnableSubscription which is not what i'm looking for since it simply activates or disables an already existing subscription. I have also tried using AddDynamicSubscription but this subscription is only in-memory which is not what i want. Is there any way to just add a subscription to a thing from a script like you would when using the editor?   Thanks in advance!

Hi,   I am trying to connect Azure IoT Hub to thingworx and I am facing a problem when I need to set the environment variable.

Hello everyone,   i would like to create predictive model for a simple thing with a few properties i defined. These properties are already logged and the thing has a value stream assigned.   My question is, how can i retrieve a Dataset (as CSV) and a Dataset Field Configuration (as JSON) from it? Apparently i need these to files in order to analyse my thing.   Or maybe you can tell me if there is anything wrong with my approach in the first place. I would also like to know how much "history" data you actually need to make good predictions.   Best Regards, Dominik

I am exploring option to complete work item using a Java or Infoengine tasks. Thingworx has out of the box CompleteWorkItems service. It does not take Voting ( Approve / Reject) as an input parameter. Is there any documentation I can access to figure this out.So I am wondering if anyone has explored completing the workitem with a Vote option from Windchill side. Thanks for your help.Preeti

 Hello community ,    Please does anyone have an example of dataset to predict time before failure ?     Regards

So, I am running 6.0 and am trying to parse a CSV file.  I have downloaded the CSV Parser Extension and have boiled down the code to the bare minimum and haven't been able to get it to work. In fact, I have a very simple test and my results are the same as when I use the GetCSVFile Method.  Here below I am using a very simple example and the result is that I only get the very first column and not the second column. I am certain I am doing something wrong but I haven't been able to locate the documentation for the extension.  I have looked through the forum and found links but they are dead links.  Can someone help with getting the Description column populated?Thanks in advancevar params = {  columnMappings: "Tagname; Description;" /* STRING */,  hasHeader: "false" /* BOOLEAN */,  longitudeField: undefined /* NUMBER */,  dateFormat: undefined /* STRING */,  latitudeField: undefined /* NUMBER */,  fieldDelimiter: undefined /* STRING */,&n

Hello   I'm displaying data from a stream using chart V2 and chart V1 with exactly le same bindings to data. Chart V1 (embeded with THX 7.4) is working fine, chart V2 is static (as loaded with mashup) whatever I do in time picker. The grid with same bindings is working very fine   I have an error in application log I cannot understand, I guess it is linked due to the date : [context: com.thingworx.webservices.context.HttpExecutionContext@6ee64f5][message: Entity Not Found : [ ]]    

Hello, I have created a Thingtemplate, having certain numeric properties and I have also configured the Alerts for those properties. I would like to know, if I can get the 'Config' of those alerts, in exactly same way as they are shown in Composer. To make my point more understandable about what 'Config' I am talking about, please refer the attached image. I want to show that aspect just for informative purpose. I mean even if I can get that data as metadata for any alert or by any other means. Other option is I can generate it myself, but that would require many checks and validations and I wanted to avoid that. Thanks in Advance Regards Aditya Mittal

I am trying to send data to Azure using MQTT. Thingworx has most of the data and right now the scope is to send a few messages to the application in Azure (Azure is an endpoint, not our data storage so I am looking for a simple solution).   When using the MQTT plugin available on the marketplace, I am however not able to get the MQTT thing to connect to the MQTT broker in Azure. Did anyone try this before? Azure is quite specific on how to connect (encrypted traffic only on ports 8883 or 443) and it has a specific user name and password format that contains some unconventional characters. Did anyone use this way of communicating with Azure?   Thanks Best regards Erik

Hello, I am starting to get couple of warnings in Application log of Thingworx composer. And I would like to understand the implications and reasons for those warnings. I have a functionality where about 20 entities (10 Things and 10 ValueStreams) are created when I create a thing with my custom template as base template. The warnings I am getting are: 1) "----> Security context stack is growing large : current size = [depth: 22]"    Another warning is: 2) "Thingworx System Metrics_----------------------------------------------------------------------------_AlertProcessingSubsystem#,         maximumQueueSize= 50000.0, queueSize= 0.0, totalAlertsQueued= 0.0, thingWatcherTrainingService= 1.0, thingWatcherResultService= 1.0, enabledAnomalyAlert= 0.0, disabledAnomalyAlert= 0.0, thingsWithEnabledAnomalyAlert= 0.0, thingsWithDisabledAnomalyAlert= 0.0, anomalyAlertsInLastDay= 0.0, _EventProcessingSubsystem#,         corePoolSize=

Hello, I am using a default TimeSeries chart widget on a mashup. I have binded it to multiple data sources as I would like to have different data shown on the chart simultaneously like motor speed, temperature, valve pressure etc. Now what I would also like to do is select which data pen (marker) to be shown on runtime, example a user might be interested only in motor speed, or a second user might want to see motor speed along with temperature, or someone might want to see all the parameters. So is there a way by which I can control and show this selection at runtime. I mean if it is possible to achieve this by clicking on graph legend, or by using a separate list widget by side of the timeseries chart widget. Thanks Aditya Mittal

Hello   Hello   I have a thing using a value stream for different properties. (Thingworx 7.4.9-b47)  I want to clean the values logged for test.   I'm using PurgeAllPropertyHistory() service (using "Test") on the thing with start & end date to cover all data recorded but when I use QueryPropertyHistory() I still have all data. There is no error in script & application log.   I tried to put the PurgeAllPropertyHistory () in a service attached to the thing template but still same issue.   Any idea  ?
