Unfortunately there isn't a service for this, but you could do this with a REST API Delete call.

Here's what I recorded from composer

  1. Request URL:
    https://<ServerName:Port>/Thingworx/DataShapes/MyNewDataShapePai?Accept=application%2Fjson&Content-Type=application%2Fjson
  2. Request Method:
    DELETE

    Hi, Thank you for the reply.

     

    I was trying to create one Data Shape thru services, datashape having a infotable field and am attaching a datashape along with the infotable. However new datashape is created with infotable as field but without datashape attached with it.

     

    Please find my code below,

    var fields = { dataShape: {"fieldDefinitions":
    {"fieldName1":
    {"name":"info",
    "aspects":{},
    "description":"",
    "baseType":"INFOTABLE",
    "dataShape":"TestDS6",
    "ordinal":1}
    }


    },
    rows: []
    };


    var params = {
    name: 'TestDS7' /* STRING */,
    description: undefined /* STRING */,
    fields: fields /* INFOTABLE */,
    tags: undefined /* TAGS */
    };

    // no return
    Resources["EntityServices"].CreateDataShape(params);

     

     

     

    suggest a solution for me.
