Hi, there I have converted my JSON object to string (by means of the .parse) so that I could split the values. Now I want to update my thing properties with the values from my JSON object.This JSON object and the thing properties are all on one thing. I only managed to update the value at [0] index. When I try index [1] or higher, it throws an error.Could you direct me if this issue has been solved already or any suggestions on how to achieve the updating of thing properties with the respective json values? Much appreciated.

After checking logs found the below warning at the connection server.[vert.x-acceptor-thread-0] WARN i.n.channel.DefaultChannelPipeline - An exceptionCaught() event was fired, and it reached at the tail of the pipeline. It usually means the last handler in the pipeline did not handle the exception.java.io.IOException: Too many open filesat sun.nio.ch.ServerSocketChannelImpl.accept0(Native Method)at sun.nio.ch.ServerSocketChannelImpl.accept(ServerSocketChannelImpl.java:422)at sun.nio.ch.ServerSocketChannelImpl.accept(ServerSocketChannelImpl.java:250)at io.netty.util.internal.SocketUtils$5.run(SocketUtils.java:110)at io.

On starting ThingWorx and InfluxDB instance simultaneously QueryNamedPropertyHistory service is giving below error:Execution error in service script [QueryNamedPropertyHistory] :: com.thingworx.common.exceptions.DataAccessException: [1,018] Data store unknown error: [Error occurred while accessing the data provider.] After running the ConnectDataSource service in the Persistence Provider configured to connect with InfluxDB the issue gets resolved. But with every instance start, the issue is reoccurring. Also if the InfluxDb instance is started ahead of ThingWorx this issue does not occur.Has anyone faced a similar issue?Any inputs would be very helpful.

Hi all,I have created a user and an appkey with the user reference name. I want to restrict the user from executing the service which is bound to the mashup from mashup. The user should be able to see only the mashup but when he tries to execute any service should give some kind of error.  In order to achieve so, I gave restrictions on service execute from the permissions for that thing, but I am getting errors in the mashup. Thank you!

I created a template with a button that drives the page to other pages (like a home page button) and I included this in a mashup template. However when I use that template to create new mashups, it makes the buttons invisible. I tried changing the style with no luck. Is there a fix to this? or do I have to make a new function and a new button for every single page I want to make?

My use case is to display how many persistence providers are connected to ThingWorx.In my Application, using PostgreSQL and Influx DB persistent providers. I tried using IsConnected and GetConnectivity services of persistent providers however it is returning true only. It would be really helpful if anyone suggest some other option to check persistent provider connectivity.

Hello, I want to monitor the application keys and their expiration date I tried two ways to list the application keys: using GetEntityList() from EntityService var result = Resources["EntityServices"].GetEntityList({  maxItems: 10000,  nameMask: undefined,  type: 'ApplicationKey',}); But this give me an infotable with the following fields:avatar, description, homeMashup, isSystemObject, name, tags Then I tried SpotLightSearch:const result = Resources["SearchFunctions"].SpotlightSearch({maxItems: 1000000,types: { items: ["ApplicationKey"]},aspects: { isSystemObject: false },maxSearchItems: 1000000});This give me an infotable wtih the following fields: delete, description, id, isEditable, isEditableExtensionObject, isEditableSystemObject, isExtension, isSystemObject, lastModifiedDate, name, parentName, parentType, read, type, update So my problem is that both returned infotable that are not matching the ApplicationKey DataShape.

Dear Sir/Madam,1.My client has asked me whether Thingworx app can detect a change in the SQL Server - Table. I've checked the existing Thingworx Database Connectivity(s). It does not support "SQL Notification". Correct?2.I've read about "Thingworx Edge .NET SDK" & "SQL Server - Notification". It seems complicated. See, below.https://support.ptc.com/help/thingworx/edge_sdk_dotnet/en/https://www.c-sharpcorner.com/uploadfile/87b416/working-with-sql-notification3.I'm new to Thingworx. Is there a better (easier) solution?Pls advise. Thanks
