Hello All, I am trying to set up Thingworx Navigate with a Composite Resource Provider. I want to show additional non-windchill attributes in the 'View Part Structure App' along with windchill attributes. I followed the steps mentioned in 'Navigate Install and Config Guide'. However I am stuck at the last step. The guide mentions that we have to make the 'Use Composite Provider' radio button visible on the 'PartStructureTailoringContainedMashup' in order to view additional data. But I am not able to edit the mashup. Have I missed some step? or is there any other way to achieve this? I would really appreciate any help and guidance. Thanks. Regards, Madhumita

I configured HTTPS with a self-signed certificateHowever, ThingWorx has an SSL error.Access to Windchill works fine (https: // <hostID> / Windchill)However, ThingWorx Navigate allows you to log in but an error occurs when importing 3D data.To find out if this is a problem with self-signed certificates, we are looking for a guide to getting SSL certificates for free.I received a Let's Encrypt recommendation from a previous question.But I'm having difficulty with the way I use it on Windows.I found that I had to leave ports 80 and 443 blank, but this is already in use by Windchill. Thank you.Help
We got Navigate and SSL working, but when we turn on SSO tool Siteminder, we get the following error: Wrapped javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target Cause: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target Just wondering if anyone else is using Siteminder with Navigate. Many thanks in advance!
Hello All, is there somebody who is able to explain hwo to actived an advanced search for the view part properties or also part structure app in Navigate? I search for something like the advanced search in windchill where the user is able to use several windchill and also non standard windchill attributes to perfom a search to get the correct object result. The standard is a bit less (number / name) Thanks for your answers.

Hello , I am new to Navigate ,and would like to know some information for the same .

Hello everyone, I have to build a Custom App in PTC Navigate 1.5.2 that can download Windchill representable files (ex pvz, pvs). I already have a Java class that query Windchill and extract representation download URL; now I wondering if it is possible use some service already defined in Navigate or I must write a my own extension. Another question is how i can develop a Thingworx extension that can use the Windchill API. Thank you Giorgio

Hello, I am trying to use PTC Navigate 1.1 for Windchill 10.1 M040. I have successfully installed Thingworx 6.5 which is compatible for Windchill 10.1 M040. Further, I have configured the Thingworx Composer as suggested in Install and Configuration guide of PTC Navigate 1.1. Through the PTC Navigate GUI (PTC.AccessApp.Master mashup), when I try to search on for any option given, the results comes "No results found for entered information." When searched on PTC, found an article regarding installation of Patch for Windchill 10.1 M040, but I have it installed. I cannot browse any Windchill data on Navigate. I have mentioned the URL of Windchill in ptc-windchill-demo-thing on Configuration tab. My Windchill url is http://localhost:90/Windchill. I am searching in Navigate by Administrator account and wcadmin is also added in the Administrator group of Thingworx. Does anyone have knowledge of this or similar experience to understand the efficacy and issues. Regards, Amar
I am using Thingworx 8.1.1 war file and acquired licenses for navigate and Twx (attached image of the licenses acquired in Licenses.jpeg). I have two apps imported in Twx and which are viewable in Twx 8.0.1, but in Twx 8.1.1 on LandingPageAccessAppMashup I am not able to see any app tiles. I have added 'Administrator' to two navigate user groups available but still I am not able to view those apps. In help document I found some information written regarding licensing as, "ThingWorx 8.1 and later requires that a instance-specific license activation ID is added to the platform-settings.json file that is located in the ThingworxPlatform folder. Multiple IDs must be separated by a comma. Activation IDs are provided in the entitlement letter or via the Manage Licenses section of the PTC Support Portal" I have attached licenses I am able to see in Licensing Sub-system in attached image 'LicensingSubSystem.jpg'. Anyone has any idea about what value we ne
Hello, In the Navigate 1.5 doc there's mentioned NavigateOrganization organization which should help with setting the visibility. But as far as I can see, this organization is no longer in the PTC Navigate 1.5. Could anyone please confirm?
Hi all, I'm working on a POC where I'm using PTC Navigate(1.5.1). Similar to 'View Document' ootb app in the Landing Page, I'm developing an app 'View Issue Document' app where the user can see only the Issue Documents(a sub-type of wtDocument). I am able to get only the Issue docs to be displayed but I can't download its primary content. Can the ootb app (View Document) configured to see only the subtype of wtDocument? If not, then which services should I use in my custom app to achieve the download functionality? Thanks in Advance. Regards, Saran
Hi Has anyone successfully installed Navigate 1.5 without PingFederate SSO? All documentation I found includes the steps to configure PingFederate configuration for SSO. As I am trying this on Dev server, I am trying to skip the SSO. When I test the services on ptc-windchill-demo thing, I get the results. But when I access the apps that use the same service, no results are showing up. I also tried the REST URL generated in Runtime Integration window when we use the app. That gives the results when accessed in stand alone browser. Does Navigate 1.5 without SSO? Thanks Mahesh

Hi I'm Seon Ho. After applying the Navigate extension, I can see Windchill's information through Thingworx by adding the Windchill Administrator account to the Thingworx Administrators group. This is a question about how to make a more detailed configuration. There is no single organization or product in windchill. First, do I need to distribute it to each organization or group of organizations? If you add a group called sales to Thingworx and then log in to Windchill's account, it will be automatically added to the group called sales. Can it be mapped by organization, team, role, or group? If you can, let me know how. When you log in to Thingworx with a Windchill account, an account is created automatically. Can you automatically map the language of the account that is created to match the language you set in Windchill? If you can, let me know how. Reference. [I set the preference language to Korean or English to cr

Hi I'm SeonHo I have a question about Thingworx Navigate. First, how do you navigate through mobile? Second, Mashup's Creo View through the part structure view is not displayed. PTC Creo View Control is in use in the Manage Add-ons section of Internet Options. View & Measure 3D is displayed. However, you can not see the Creo View on the left side of the Part Structure view. my Thingworx 7.3 and navigate 1.4 Tomcat 8.0.46 IE11 Windchill 11.0 M020 and that installed VMware Thank you for your help.
Hi i'm SeonHo I installed the Navigate. However, an error occurs when accessing Thingworx. The DNS address of the server is not found. It can be used by registering server DNS in hosts file. I added address = "0.0.0.0" to tomcat's server.xml to access Thingworx from outside and added the port on which tomcat is running to the inbound rule. Thingworx can be accessed in the same way as above, but is not accessible after Navigate installation. What should I do? Do I have to configure the reverse proxy to allow external access to Windchill to view Navigate from outside? Should Thingworx Navigate be installed on another Windchill server with a reverse proxy configured? thank
