Redeploy Your Custom Tasks
If you have custom tasks, reimport those custom tasks you backed up earlier. To do so, complete the following steps:
1. Configure custom tasks for the new Windchill Connector:
ThingWorx Navigate 1.8 uses ptc-windchill-integration-connector. You must do one of the following to make sure your custom tasks work with the connector:
◦ If your task uses Info*Engine tasks, reconfigure ptc-windchill-demo-thing.
◦ If your task uses REST services, update your task to use the ptc-windchill-integration-connector thing. To do this, you must recreate the services on the connector. Only REST services are supported on the connector.
2. Restart Apache Tomcat and ThingWorx Integration Runtime.
