ThingWorx Software Content Management Configuration
The following configuration is required for 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 Role:Operatables and the things (or thing templates) must implement the PTC.Resource.Asset.SCMResourceThingShape thing shape.
• In order for an asset to be supported, the asset or one of its parent thing templates must derive from the RemoteThingWithFileTransfer or RemoteThingWithTunnelsAndFileTransfer thing templates.
• In order for the asset to function completely, the parent thing template of the asset thing must implement the PTC.Asset.ThingShape.Asset and PTC.Resource.Asset.SCMResourceThingShape thing shapes.
Additionally, the parent thing template of assets that receive file-based packages must implement the TW.RSM.SFW.ThingShape.Updateable thing shape, and the parent thing template of assets that receive instruction-based packages must implement the TW.RSM.SFW.ThingShape.UpdateableWithInstructions thing shapes.
• The automatic retry functionality for deployments is controlled by the configuration properties of the Software Manager. See Configuration Parameters for Auto-Retry for details.
