Error: Entity <name> does not exist or is not yet associated with a Thing
When a file is uploaded to an Azure Storage Container, the Azure IoT Hub Connector fires a FileTransfer event on the ThingWorx Platform. This event is fired on the cx-server.protocol.file-upload-events.repository-thing-name Thing specified in the configuration file of the Connector. If there is not a AzureStorageContainerFileRepository Thing with a name that matches the repository-thing-name, an error similar to the following error is logged in the ThingWorx Platform Error Log:

The Connector loads and caches all configuration settings during startup. Any changes that you make to the configuration when troubleshooting are ignored until the Connector is restarted. If you make a change to the configuration, you MUST restart the Connector so that the change takes effect.
