I have a project I want to package and publish to solution central, when I click the package and publish button, I get some error messages:

There are dependencies with some entities, whenever I click on any of them a message appears

How to search for those entities that seem to be removed but their dependency is still alive?

This LaunchPointConfiguration Thing is a part of ThingWorx manufacturing apps. Did you install manufacturing apps and then uninstalled/deleted them? If yes, then there could be a chance of having ghost entities. If you are on ThingWorx 9+ you can check this here - https://support.ptc.com/help/thingworx/platform/r9/en/#page/ThingWorx%2FHelp%2FBest_Practices_for_Developing_Applications%2FExampleGhostEntities.html%23wwID0ENYAZ
If you are on  8.5 or older version of ThingWorx, then I think you need to import a ghost entity extension to check this.

I am using ThingWorx 8.5.3-b123 

 

One more question, if this is not the only extension that was deleted, Do I need to reinstall all to be able to export the project to solution central?

 

Is there a way to bypass reinstalling no needed extensions?

 

Thanks

I mean something similar to DeleteGhostEntities ThingWorx 8.5.3-b123 ...
