This token has been create using service AddorupdateToken on es table.

 

Error in script logs :  Error executing service DeleteToken. Message :: Token [[1-Fire Defect Code 38#]] not found 

 

But this token is present in es table but not in Default table.Please help me with this.

when you add a new token to a non-Default localization from Composer, you are required to set the "Default Token Value". This is because tokens added to non-Default localization are expected to also have a Default value. This is explained in ThingWorx Help Center as below.

  • A default localization table is provided in ThingWorx. If a language-specific translation is not provided, the default localization definition for the token is used.
  • When you define a new localization token, you must define it in the default table and provide a default value.

However, it seems service AddorupdateToken DOES NOT follow above rule. It has only 2 parameters: token name, token value. If you run this service with non-Default localization, the new token will not have a Default value, either be visible in Default localization.

LocalizationTables["**"].AddOrUpdateToken({
	name: "xxx" /* STRING */,
	value: "yyy" /* STRING */
});

For such token, you can only delete it with its original localizatoin, not able to delete from Default.

 

LocalizationTables["**"].DeleteToken({name: "xxx" /* STRING */});

 

 

 

Above actions were all tested with ThingWorx 9.4.0.

If you see different actions or you are using a different version of ThingWorx, please share below to us so we can check deeper.

Actually some of the tokens have token value in that language but not in Default langauage.

 

So those tokens are not existing in Default localization table
