Is there any way to obtain list of all SystemObjects that exists in Thingworx?

I would like to set specific permissions on all SystemObjects and I definetlly don't want to do it manually

Hi Jacek,

Maybe better you go with this service ( which should be faster than previous one 😞

var result = Resources["SearchFunctions"].SpotlightSearch({
  maxItems: 1000000 ,
  types: { items: ["Thing",
                     "ThingShape",
                     "ThingTemplate",
                     "DataShape",
                     "Network",
                     "ModelTagVocabulary",
                     "Mashup",
                     "Menu",
                     "MediaEntity",
                     "StyleDefinition",
                     "StateDefinition",
                     "DataTagVocabulary",
                     "Group",
                     "User",
                     "ApplicationKey",
                     "Resource",
                     "Organization",
                     "Dashboard"
                    ]},
  aspects: { isSystemObject: true },
  maxSearchItems: 1000000
});
for each (row in result.rows) {
    // -- Do Whatever the the row.name entity
}

Pai Chung​ Can you update this article https://support.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=CS241962 with the above code, I think it's better.

Best Regards,

Each Entity carries isSystemObject

You might be able to leverage one of the SearchFunctions and use that Property in conjunction.

    This snippet might help:

    var types = Resources["Tagger"].GetEntityTypes();

    for (var x = 0; x < types.rows.length; x++) {

        var row = types.rows;

        var entities = Resources["EntityServices"].GetEntityList({type: row.name});

        for (var y = 0; y < entities.rows.length; y++) {   

            var entity = entities.rows;

            if (entity.isSystemObject) {

                logger.info("System object : " + entity.name);

                          // Do whatever here

            } else {

                logger.info("Not a system object : " + entity.name);

            }

        }

    }

      Hello Sajid,

      Unfortunatelly I do not have resource "Tagger" in my TWX 7.1. Is this something from older version or customization?
