Hi everyone,  This topic has been discussed before, but we still haven't seen a good solution. When we remove the Users (group) from the composerUsers group, all the Users other than our administrator users no longer have rights within our application. When we follow the case CS341872 then we must assign the rights separately for each Mashup,  Can this be done in an easier way? or through a global solution? Other question:  will there be a secure by design solution in a next release, so that this is no longer necessary. Best regards,Emiel

We have a scenario where we have multiple drop-downs. All the drop-downs are connected with each other in a multi-level hierarchy. All the drop downs are associated with the same Datatable with different fields. For example: we have a Datatable  named DT with 4 fields FD1,FD2,FD3, and FD4. The dropdowns viz DD1, DD2,DD3, and DD4 are binded to the corresponding fields of DT; DD1 binded to FD1, DD2 binded to FD2, and so on..So when we select a value in DD1 from the list of selections, it should filter the values in DD2 based on Selection of value in DD1. Then data on DD3 should be filtered based on selection in DD2, then data on DD4 should be filtered based on selection made in DD3. is there any way to achieve this in a mashup.

Hi all, we are facing an issue when adding a service on a Thing Template.We created a Thing Template which is based on the ODataConnector Thing. A new Thing should use the template by calling its services. So the inherited chain looks like this:Thing Test-TestTemplate-ODataConnector But when trying to add a new service to the TestTemplate and by adding a route, the following errors pops up:We did a lot of research and found some similiar issues, which were all related to missing access rights.So we assigned all groups that were suggested but still no luck:TestTemplate uses ODataConnector  TestTemplate Permissions Visibility  TestTemplate Permissions Visibility Instance TestTemplate Permissions Runtime  TestTemplate Permissions Runtime Instance  TestTemplate Permissions Designtime  TestTemplate Permissions Designtime Instance Does anyone have an idea, how to fix that error? Thanks,Jürgen

guys, has anyone ever experienced this phenomenon:how can i fixed this?

I have a few applications which have heavy queries to read and write the stream data also complex services/mashups as well. Now, We have DB and TWX foundation both in the same EC2 instance.  To reduce the load I would like to move my entire DB to AWS RDS PSQL.  It is good to proceed with this approach or should I create a separate EC2 instance to host my Postgres?Also, We have manufacturing apps in the instance it has custom tables in the main DB.  Changing the stream data to another DB is not helping I tried to use an external DB as ThingworxPersistenceProvider, it is reducing the load but still, due to a load of services and application model postgres service consumes high cpu utilization. 

I tring to study "content crawler" by referring to the following help documents.Content Crawler (ptc.com)When I follow the tutorial step by step,But after I execute the method GetExternalContent(Crawl) , there is no return value. In fact, the Datatable I'm fetching has values. The CrawlerThing and Datatable I created have been uploaded to the attachment,Can you help me figure out what's wrong. Thanks.

Developed a custom extension which is using JCIFS library. While trying to import into Thingworx getting following error,    1. *** Unable to create resource instance in Resource:SMBUtilities 2. Unable To Create Resource Instance From Class: SMBUtilities 3. Unable to process import: jcifs/smb/SmbFileInputStream 4. Unable to delete SMBFileReader:1.0.0. This is likely due to other errors: ExtensionPackage SMBFileReader Does Not Exist   SMBFileReader is a Extention name (Eclipse project) SMBUtilities is Resource name created in Extension Application log attached.   Need help on this issue? How to address this issue?

Hi All, I am trying to design an mashup which will fetch data from MS-SQL database to info table, and further info table is mapped to mashup. Things are working fine when data is static i.e. in all iteration if data set is same. But my requirement is the data fetched from Database will be dynamic, each time it depends on user input.  I would like to know how to handle dynamic data with info table mapped to mashup

Hi community, I am trying to display duration (difference between 2 dates). I converted it from decimal hours to hours.The problem I am now facing is the minutes are not displaying. The duration only changes after an hour.  Below is the code that I have written. Does someone know How I can solve this problem.  var decimalTime = parseFloat(duration);decimalTime = decimalTime * 60 * 60;var hours = Math.floor((decimalTime / (60 * 60)));decimalTime = decimalTime - (hours * 60 * 60);var minutes = Math.floor((decimalTime / 60));decimalTime = decimalTime - (minutes * 60);var seconds = Math.round(decimalTime);if(hours < 10){hours = "0" + hours;}if(minutes < 10){minutes = "0" + minutes;}let result = ("" + hours + ":" + minutes); The desired output should be e.g., 16:00. Then after two minutes I should see 16:02. However currently I am only seeing a change after an hour (i.e. 17:00 after sixty minutes). Many thanks
