ThingWorx SCM Edge Extension for the ThingWorx Edge .NET SDK

The ThingWorx Software Content Management (SCM) capability has been extended to the ThingWorx Edge .NET SDK. The ThingWorx SCM Edge Extension for the ThingWorx Edge .NET SDK enables developers to quickly set up and run applications that will use SCM. To use SCM with the ThingWorx Platform, you also need to import the separately available package for the ThingWorx SCM Extension for ThingWorx Platform. This extension is available in the ThingWorx Platform software download pages on the PTC Support site, under the version of ThingWorx Platform.

The SCM Edge Extension for .NET is a separately released product. Much like the .NET SDK itself, this extension is a .NET assembly, called thingworx-dotnet-scmext.dll. It contains the scmext.dll. This .NET assembly expects to load the scmext.dll from the directory designated by either the environment variable TWXLIB or from the new Windows registry entry for the extension, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Thingworx\scmext\extPath.

Make sure that you run the installation program for the .NET SDK first and then the installation program for the SCM Edge Extension.

The SCM for .NET package includes examples, scm_client and scm_service.For information about running these examples, refer to .SCM Edge Extension for .NET: Examples.
