Production Notification — Connecting Application and Custom Service
Configuring External System
1. Search for and open the PTC.FSU.CORE.Production.EndPoint_TG Thing.
2. Open the Configuration tab.
3. Complete the three inputs in the ProductionNotification configuration section.
◦ ThingName—ThingWorx entity where the custom service is located
◦ ServiceName—Name of the service
◦ BulkNotifications—This checkbox will control whether production notifications are always sent discretely, or if production notifications can be grouped together into a single message. Using this configuration as true will result in messages sent that potentially have more than one unique RequestID value.
| If BulkNotifications is false, parallel executions will still result in 1 or more objects being sent in a single message. However, all the RequestID values would be the same. |
Permissions
To allow the Production End Point to successfully call the custom service, the entity that holds the custom service must be made available through ThingWorx permissions.
• Visibility—This should be set to Everyone as this permission is only for the entity to be seen by a user.
• Run Time—This should be set to allow System to call the custom service. The custom service will be called from an Administrator account through the automated message processing.
• Design Time—There are no requirements for Design Time permissions.
