Enhancements

Platform
|
|
In ThingWorx 9.3.4 or later, PTC is introducing mandatory license data collection for customers that do not apply for an exemption. The ThingWorx platform automatically collects license data and sends it to PTC. License usage data does not include any personal information, such as user names, email addresses, or passwords. If you are currently running ThingWorx using disconnected licensing mode, automatic license reporting is disabled.
To disable license data reporting without running the platform in disconnected licensing mode, you must apply for an exemption request by creating a License Service - Exemption Request using the Case Logger on the PTC Support site.
You can disable automatic reporting of performance data using a configuration option within the Platform Subsystem. For more information, see Platform Subsystem.

Added New MetricServices APIs
• ConnectionPoolSaturationMetrics— Returns Pool Saturation in percent(%)
• GetPersistenceProviderMetrics— Returns performance related metrics of c3p0
• GetLatencyMetrics– Returns time taken in ms
|
|
Added supports for HTTP/HTTPS proxy for outbound requests. For more information, see Using the Proxy Server for the Outbound Request.
|
|
Mashup Builder
|
|
User Interface
• Added a new Validation panel that lists widget validation properties. The panel is displayed in the bottom dock by default.
|
|
Mashup Migration
The following widgets are moved to the legacy category and will be replaced when you migrate mashups:
Dynamic configurations that are applied to legacy Grid (Advanced) widgets are now migrated to the LegacyConfiguration text property. When binding services to a new grid, we recommend changing the output of your configuration service to JSON and using the Configuration property instead.
|
|
File Upload Widget
Added a new File Upload web-component widget that supports style themes, drag and drop, and validation. For more information, see File Upload Widget (Themable).
|
|
Date Time Picker Widget
• Added support for changing between AM and PM using letters when changing the time at run time.
• Added properties that enable you to customize the hint messages that are displayed when editing time.
|
|
Grid Widget
• Added properties that enable you to display the grid data using a hierarchal tree structure.
• Added properties that enable you to disable specific rows on the grid.
• Moved the configuration options for validation messages to the Validation panel.
• Added an event that triggers when the grid Reset button is clicked.
For more information, see Grid Widget.
|
|
Navigation Function
Added a check box that enables you to remove the 21 pixel height increase that was added to the pop-up window of the function. This option is only available for Navigations functions that were created in previous versions of ThingWorx.
|
|
Validation
Added validation properties to input widgets, such as Button, List, and Checkbox. You can use these properties to validate widget data, state, and selection. For more information, see Applying Validation to Widgets.
|
|
Style Themes
Added new options to the Styles editor that enable you to customize the following:
• Sizing and padding for Button, Textfield, Text Area, Link, Checkbox, Radion Button, List, and Dropdown widgets.
• Background color of grid rows that are in a selected and hover state.

Fixed Issues

|---|---|
|
Security
|
|

Tracking Number

If a developer creates a Thing Shape or Thing Template with a service that can be overridden and the developer then creates a Thing or Thing Template which inherits from that Template or Shape the developer can override the service. This is expected behavior.
If the developer then changes the service on the base Template or Shape so that it cannot be overridden, the override created on the inheriting Thing or Template will remain in force. That is the service created on the Thing or Template will continue to override the base service. The developer will no longer be able to edit the service on the inheriting entity nor would they be able to further override the service on another Thing that implements the Template. It is quite possible in this scenario to have two Things, each inheriting from the base Shape or Template and on implements a service override while the other does not.
Toggling the Allow Override flag back to TRUE on the base Shape or Template will allow the developer to again add, delete, or modify the overridden service on the implementing Thing or Template.
