ThingWorx Utilities Configuration

The following table describes configurations required for ThingWorx Utilities.

Utility	Requirement
ThingWorx Workflow Builder	In order for an Alert or Event to initiate a workflow, its parent thing or thing template must implement the PTC.BPE.BusinessProcessManageable thing shape.
ThingWorx Asset Manager	In order for an asset to appear in the asset search, the following must be completed: The resource provider that provides the asset must be tagged with Role:Ownables. The things (or thing templates) must implement the ResourceThingShape for the resource provider. The out-of-the-box thing shapes in ThingWorx Utilities are PTC.Resource.Asset.ThingworxAsset (non-SCM assets) and PTC.Resource.Asset.SCMResourceThingShape. In order for the asset to function completely, the asset thing or thing template must implement the PTC.Asset.ManagedAsset thing shape. Note TW.RSM.ManagedAsset is still available with the ThingWorx Remote Access and Control extension and used for some of its OOTB entities, but it is recommended that you use the PTC.Asset.ManagedAsset thing shape. If File Transfer and Remote Connection functionality is desired, the things or thing templates should derive from the RemoteThingWithTunnelsAndFileTransfer thing template. Note For more information on configuring the ThingWorx Asset Manager, see Configuring ThingWorx Asset Manager.
ThingWorx Software Content Management	In order for an asset to appear in the asset search, the resource provider that provides the asset must be tagged with SCM:Updateable and the things (or thing templates) must implement the PTC.Resource.Asset.SCMResourceThingShape thing shape. In order for the asset to function completely, the asset thing or thing template must implement the TW.RSM.SFW.ThingShape.Updateable thing shape.
