What’s New in ThingWorx Utilities 8.3.0
New Features
ThingWorx Software Content Management
• This release of
ThingWorx Utilities lets you deploy packages to Axeda assets using the corresponding eMessage Connector. Axeda agents cannot parse Lua scripts that are added as a part of file-based packages. For Axeda agents, instructions are defined as a part of the package metadata. For information about creating instruction-based packages, see
Create an Instruction-based Package.
• The user interface to create packages has changed. To create a file-based package, on the Create Package page, click File-Based Package, and to create an instruction-based package, on the Create Package page, click Instruction-Based Package.
• You can modify visibility settings of the
File-Based Package tab and the
Instruction-Based Package tab, and also choose which tab you want to be auto-selected as default. For more information, see
Configuration: Package Types.
• With this release, by default, all deployment timeouts are enabled. You cannot disable deployment timeouts. After you upgrade to
ThingWorx Utilities 8.3.0, ensure that you review the timeout settings on the > page. For more information, see
Configuration: Deployment.
