I’m using the bar chart widget with 3 data series. Is it possible to configure a navigation mashup popup so that it appears only on one particular data series (instead of the whole chart)?

Hi everyone, I am currently working on a use case where we have multiple repositories, and each path contains around 25 images, each with a file size of approximately 400 KB.The customer would like to retrieve (“auslesen”) these images via an API from ThingWorx. Before I implement the solution, I would like to get some best-practice recommendations from the community: My Questions What is the best way to prepare and serve many images via API in ThingWorx?Should we use: LoadBinary for each image, LoadImage, SaveImage / Base64 output, or another recommended approach? Is it more efficient and possible to: Return image streams directly, Convert them to Base64, Or provide download URLs (e.g., via Content Caching)? Are there performance concerns when retrieving 25×400 KB = ~10 MB per request from a ThingWorx server?Any recommended throttling, batching, or pagination strategies? Goal We want to provide the customer with a clean, fast, and scalable API that allows the

Hello ThingWorx Community, I am currently working on ThingWorx version 9.6.2-b447 and would like to take a complete backup of the entire ThingWorx application. I am looking for guidance on: How to take a full backup of ThingWorx (Things, Thing Templates, DataShapes, Mashups, Services, Extensions, etc.) Best practices for backing up: ThingWorx platform entities Database (PostgreSQL / SQL Server) File repositories Extensions and custom code Whether export/import, Source Control, or Platform backup tools are recommended for a full application backup Any version-specific considerations for ThingWorx 9.6.x The goal is to have a reliable backup that can be restored in case of system failure or used for migration to another environment. If anyone has step-by-step guidance, official documentation links, or real-world best practices, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi all, On version 10.0.0 and this is an issue I am just noticing as of recent (maybe just after updating our dev to 10.0.0). There is this dependency with an entity called 'open-tabs' but I don't see it used anywhere in the mashup and don't even know what the entity is (based on name seems like a default thingworx entity). Any ideas on what this is or how to resolve this dependency? 

Hi Folks, I have a requirement to download the files of Windchill objects into Thingworx repository. I am getting the Link of files inside Thingworx using Odata Connectors.

Based on my experience in the majority of large companies there is a huge need to connect different tools from different vendors. The discussion I would like to launch in this context is: can ThingWorx be used as the tool "integrator" between PTC and 3rd parties tools? Example of a use case: collector \ integrator between Windchill and a 3rd party tools (ALM -requirements management system > keep the link across  artifacts from different tools platforms and keep traceability (changes impacts \ alerts)

Hi everyone, I am running ThingWorx Flow 9.3.10 and I’m hitting a wall trying to fix an expired self-signed certificate. The Issue: My self-signed certificate for Flow expired, so I needed to regenerate it. I followed the official guide here: CreateSelfSignedCertificate.htmlI generated the new files, placed them in the SSL directory, and restarted the services. However, Flow is now failing to connect. Symptoms:Redirect Loop: When I try to open the ThingWorx Flow app, it automatically redirects me back to the ThingWorx Composer.Validation Error: When I run ValidateFlowSetup in the WorkflowSubsystem, I get:[FLOW-API-01] - Failed to connect to Flow: Internal Server ErrorLog Error: The flow-exchange module logs show this error, which suggests a trust issue:{"module":"flow-exchange","timestamp":"...","level":"error","message":"unauthorized access"}It seems like the internal services aren't accepting the new certificate I generated.

Hello I have followed all the steps as mentioned in the article, I have installed the new tomcat 9.0.110 but my thingworx is still redirected to older tomcat version if I stop that thingworx page is not loading Two questions 1) do we need to use older(9.0.88) web.xml and server.xml and copy into new tomcat webapps 2) I was not able to understand point 6 in the article https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS272588 as it says directly copy the older ones and paste into new tomcat folder VS Point 19 and 20 says that we need to edit web.xml and server.xml https://support.ptc.com/help/thingworx/platform/r9/en/index.html#page/ThingWorx/Help/Installation/Installation/install_java_and_apache_tomcat.html#wwID0E4KGM do we need to remove the older tomcat folder from C:\Program Files (x86)\ThingWorxFoundation\tomcat

I observed something strange when working with Run Time Instance permissions on a Thing Shape and wanted to ask if this is expected behavior or a potential bug.  To demonstrate I'll propose a scenario.  I am using ThingWorx 10.0.Created entities:TestUSR - User for testing access.TestTS1 - Contains property "TS1Prop" and service "TS1Service"TestTS2 - Contains property "TS2Prop" and service "TS2Service"TestTT - Template inheriting GenericThing template. Contains property "TTProp" and service "TTService"TestThing1 - Thing inheriting TestTT template. Contains property "ThingProp" and service "ThingService"Now I configure permissions on TestTS1 only.  The rest of the entities will not have any permissions configured.Grant 'Property Read' and 'Service Execute' run time instance permissions to TestUSR.  See below.Now I run Access Report for TestThing1 for user TestUSR.  This initially looks fine, but when I dig into the Specific Permissions by clicking

For Thingworx 10.0.0 in the line chart widget... I am trying to limit the number of x axis labels. I see this is possible if the x axis type is numeric or date type.
