Resource Providers and Asset Configuration
Resource Providers
You can use resource providers to find Things in ThingWorx Software Content Management.
You can associate resource providers with Things by using a resource Thing Shape that is configured on the resource provider and adding it to either a Thing or a Thing Template.
 |
A Thing should be assigned to only one resource provider to avoid duplication in the search results.
|
If you are only using Things, to provide a resource, assign PTC.Resource.Asset.SCMResourceProvider for ThingWorx Software Content Management. You can configure PTC.Resource.Asset.SCMResourceProvider with the PTC.Resource.Asset.SCMResourceThingShape resource Thing Shape. It consists of both the Role:Ownables and Role:Operatable tags.
If you plan to use the out-of-the-box resource providers, consider the following before you configure your Things:
• Select the appropriate resource Thing Shape: If you plan to use ThingWorx Software Content Management, assign the PTC.Resource.Asset.SCMResourceThingShape resource.
• To which resource provider you assign Things:
The cost of moving Things from one resource provider to another could be significant depending on the number of associated Things.
If you are sure that you will not have to reassign Things, add the resource Thing Shape to your Things.
If you may have to reassign Things , add the resource Thing Shape to your Thing Templates.
Assets
A non-administrator user can deploy packages to only those Things for which they have visibility permissions in ThingWorx Platform.
