Question

Dataconnect: The specified datatype for objective field is invalid

Hi,

I connect ThingWorx with Analytics via DataConnect (just like in this blog post How to use DataConnect when sending property values from the ThingWorx platform to ThingWorx Analytics.)

If I click in the last step on "Execute" it shows me "Status: Failed" in the upper right corner. In the logfiles of the DataConnect it shows me this rows:

2017-08-25T11:28:56.245Z [WARN] [http-bio-8085-exec-6] [com.coldlight.dataconnect.rest.util.ValidateSubmitJobRequest] - [Invalid request: The specified datatype for objective field is invalid. Accepted values are BOOLEAN or CONTINUOUS for standard data and CONTINUOUS timeseries data]

2017-08-25T11:28:56.254Z [ERROR] [http-bio-8085-exec-6] [com.coldlight.dataconnect.rest.transformer.TransformerController] - [4f9c7cca-0669-48bf-afb0-2047bdbd6bf1 Unexpected Error. com.coldlight.dataconnect.rest.exception.InvalidRequestException: The specified datatype for objective field is invalid. Accepted values are BOOLEAN or CONTINUOUS for standard data and CONTINUOUS timeseries data]

Which mean the field which i select to be the goal is not an BOOLEAN or a CONTINUOUS. But it is a BOOLEAN (see attchment)

What is wrong?

So I change the field "Error" to NUMBER and now I get an other error:

The zip-file existis on this location but maybe the dataconnect can not find it.

Ok the error has something todo with ne rights on the linux system. Now the file problem is fixed. The first problem (Error on BOOLEAN goal) still exists.

Hello David

If this is still an issue for you , could you please:

1) reproduce the error "Unexpected Error. com.coldlight.dataconnect.rest.exception.InvalidRequestException: The specified datatype for objective field is invalid. Accepted values are BOOLEAN or CONTINUOUS for standard data and CONTINUOUS timeseries data]"

in order to make sure we look at fresh data

2) collect the following data:

- /opt/dataconnect/logs directory

- /repository/SystemRepository/<DADName> directory


Thank you

Kind rgeards
