Analytics Server

Integration with ThingWorx
|
The following components involve integration with ThingWorx:
|
|
ThingWorx Adapter for Analytics Server
|
This adapter generates the Analytics Things that can be accessed in ThingWorx Composer. It is selected by default if you have selected the Integration with ThingWorx parameter. If you plan to interact with ThingWorx Analytics via ThingWorx, this parameter is required.
|
|
Analytics Extension
|
Must be selected if you plan to use Analytics Builder or Analytics Manager. Analytics Extension can only be used if both the Async and the Sync Microservices are installed.
|
|
If the installer detected a previous version of the ThingWorx Analytics Server, and you want to upgrade, the old installation directory is preselected and you will not be able to change it. For more information, see Upgrade from an Earlier Version.
|
|
If you opt not to select the ThingWorx Adapter for installation, ThingWorx connection information will not be requested.
