When i'm importing the entities file into my Thingworx composer, it asks for a login credentials again. After that it shows import successful but I can't see any of the things, thing templates or mashups. Why is this happening?

I am a newbie. thingwox composer 5. Asks for login credentials again while importing xml and json files even though i'm logged on as the administrator. After logging in it shows Import Successful yet no content is added.

Not sure what version you are using, but that is not how it should behave, I would contact support at support.ptc.com

Can you try restarting Tomcat and retry the import? Are the imported entities from a ThingWorx version more recent than your installed version?

After trying what Aanjan suggested and you are still having issues, check the Application Log by clicking Monitoring then Application inside ThingWorx. It will bring up a new browsing tab that you can use to look through the logs. Check to see if there are any errors about importing.

Looks like you are missing some extensions? Did you import the necessary extensions before importing the Entities?

Hi, so.. since i tried importing entities separately. Did not work for the most part. But then i started to import through the data shapes.. then thing shapes, then templates.. so on and so forth. so finally i was able to import it but you know, step by step. Not as a whole.

There has been major changes to ThingWorx in 6.6 around importing. Glad you got it figured out though!

What version of ThingWorx are you using and what happens when you try to refresh/search for the entities?
