Hello,

In fact all of mentioned ways are proper, according to your needs. The easiest way is to create a service that will send a REST request to external systems (available OOTB and the fastest way). They can be browsed through the Snippet or ContentLoaderFunction Resource. It allows you to send most basic HTTP requests (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE).

There is also possibility to create a Thingworx Extension and do pretty much anything using Java code (or even Java libraries) to configure and connect. For more information please refer to the Thingworx Extension Guide.

Hope it helps, in case of any additional questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Regards,

J.

1. Not sure particularly about ERP. But yes, I have integrated with other WebServices through REST API for Data Transfer and storing.

2. Thingworx extension -> There is a question in my mind, if you are developing a new ERP Interface method/function, then whether it requires you to upload again Thingworx extension or upgrade it? Not sure about it.

We have SAP MII extension already build and available on Market Place .

The SAP composite application Manufacturing Integration and Intelligence (SAP MII) enables adaptive manufacturing processes by synchronizing manufacturing operations with back end business systems. With the ThingWorx SAP MII extension, interact with SAP MII queries and business logic transactions directly from ThingWorx.

Please see if suffice your need.
