What's the best approach to use any standard DevOps mechanisms and automate the application build and deploy on Thingworx?

Do we have options to look at, or best practices to align to?

Appreciate your guidance and leads

Looks like we may not be having such capabilities in place currently.

Thingworx team, can you at least provide some visibility towards what is getting done on this front

and what would be supported in the near future?

As you may have already realized / heard from different users, this is a common issue for all of your user community

Making a step forward in this topic, would help us all feel better with the Thingworx solutions.

looking forward to hear from you at the earliest..

Hello, this blog could give you an idea Does Thingworx Platform provide any check-in/check-out features so that we can keep a track of code changes made for fixes/enhancements. And can we also do a difference of code revisions.

Thank you Quang, truly appreciate your response.

I went through the provided link.

I didn't see a clear solution to the problem at hand, though there are few vague suggestions to try and use other external version control mechanisms.

So, the issue remains OPEN and needs attention from the Thingworx team.

We would need PTC to clearly handle and manage the SDLC aspects of how we can use and extend the benefits of this platform, as otherwise it could hurt any straightforward expansion of this community,

Do we have a command line interface from Thingworx, to try and do custom automation scripts to any level?

I hope there will be a quick action on this front, by the team, to put the basic support and mechanisms in place..
