Hi, When clicking "Report a Problem," a popup window displays "Something went wrong. The task you are trying to reach is not available at the moment. Please get in touch with your administrator." https://www.ptc.com/pt/support/article/cs351650 This Article is old, and Thingworx Flow is no longer used in Thingworx Navigate 9.6 Installation. Thanks,

Hi, On Thingworx Navigate, I want to Change the Landing Page's pointer to a custom-made Landing Page. Is there a way to do this, or do I need to duplicate all the Mashups and override the service?? Thingowrx & Navigate Version: 9.6.0 Thanks,
Hello, With ThingWorx Navigate 9.6.1, is it necessary to create a separate keystore and truststore, or can we use the ones already created for Tomcat? Thank you in advance!
Reading through this article: How to create an admin user in ThingWorx Navigate when there is no Administrator user in Windchill In my case, I already had configured to authenticate to Windchill and one of my accounts had an alternate uid of Administrator. Login was fine, no issues. I am switching to SSO on Windchill side so my assumption would be I need a matching id of Administrator which I am hesitant to do. I have added two additional accounts to the Administrators group in Thingworx so I can use those to get into Composer and administer the system. The question is, if I make Administrator in able to be used, will I lose anything or not be able to do functions in Composer? If I need to, I could reconfigure authentication back to get back in but I prefer not to use this account if I do not have to.

Hi, As of now, Thingworx Navigate is using ptc-windchill-OData-connector. I need to use an xyz-windchill-OData-connector by the Thingworx Navigate as the default; how can it be done? what changes need to be made to achieve this? Thanks,
In our ThingWorx Navigate platform, we have Windchill Auth configured (ptc-identity-provider-authenticator), which can create user automatically and add users to ThingWorx groups. We have a requirements for few apps where we can not give access to all the ThingWorx platform users to get access. Only subset of the ThingWorx Platform users can use these apps. I am looking for ideas how to automate user provisioning for these apps. Right now we are manually adding users into ThingWorx groups.
Hello, For the released part numbers in Windchill, for few part number I can see PDF is generated in Thingworx Navigate but for few files only DWF is generated. I really want to see and download PDF from Thingworx Navigate. Please provide a solution. Thanks,Baala
I have reconfigured out test Windchill instance to SSO and am getting some final errors with Navigate pulling data from Windchill. Authentication uses Windchill so I was able to see the redirect to Windchill, authenticate and I am properly authenticated. Testing view documents, I was able to search on a document, see proper returns and even a document thumbnail. This should mean I am getting a proper connection back to Windchill to retrieve data. When I get the document details, I get back a few errors and no details appear. Same is true for the other apps for CAD data and parts (BOMS do appear). The error is clearly shown in the webserver logs as a 401 password mismatch error: [Mon Sep 09 09:17:45.107851 2024] [auth_basic:error] [pid 232273:tid 140186213984000] [client 127.0.0.1:35360] AH01617: user <username>: authentication failure for "/Windchill/trustedAuth/servlet/odata/v5/DocMgmt/Documents('OR:wt.doc.WTDocument:1742513238')": Password Mismatch [Mon Sep 09 09:17:45.

Hello All, I am trying to read the count of object returned by WRS in ThingWorx/Navigate service. The count information is captured by "@odata.count" key in the WRS response. Windchill Response: From ThingWorx service, if I use dot (.) to read json key values. In case of @odata.count, ThingWorx composer is throwing syntax error. Any idea how to read JSON key values having @ in the key name? Thanks in advance! - Shirish

This is a request or system enhancement proposal for the ability to markup MS Office documents directly from Navigate. At present, when annotating and marking up CAD data, Navigate directly calls Creo View. However, for MS Office documents, this functionality is only available through the 'VIEW IN WINDCHILL' in Navigate capability before marking up the documents.

Instead of using 'ABC' Attribute in select query, I need a filter query to get json only if have WcControlledBOM attribute in every Part Json
