Prerequisites
Following are the prerequisites required to configure the Windchill Digital Product Traceability (DPT) extension in ThingWorx:
Enable ThingWorx to Allow Import of Windchill Extension
ThingWorx must be enabled to allow import of Windchill extension.
By default, the import of extension is disabled in ThingWorx for all users. To enable import, configure the platform-settings.json file. For more information, see platform-settings.json Configuration Details in the ThingWorx Platform Help Center.
1. Open the platform-settings.json file. By default, the file is located in the ThingworxPlatform folder.
2. In the platform-settings.json file, ensure that the following ExtensionPackageImportPolicy parameters are added, and their value is set to true. This setting allows import of extensions.
"ExtensionPackageImportPolicy": {
"importEnabled": true,
"allowJarResources": true,
"allowJavascriptResources": true,
"allowCSSResources": true,
"allowJSONResources": true,
"allowWebAppResources": true,
"allowEntities": true,
"allowExtensibleEntities": true
},
"importEnabled": true,
"allowJarResources": true,
"allowJavascriptResources": true,
"allowCSSResources": true,
"allowJSONResources": true,
"allowWebAppResources": true,
"allowEntities": true,
"allowExtensibleEntities": true
},
 |
By default, all ExtensionPackageImportPolicy parameters are set to false. It is recommended that after a successful import, change the parameter values from true to false.
For more information on platform settings and importing extensions, see platform-settings.json and Importing Extensions in the ThingWorx Platform Help Center respectively.
|
3. Save and close the platform-settings.json file.
Allow Windchill in ThingWorx
Windchill must be added to the allow list in ThingWorx. For more information, see Allowing Embedded Mashups in iFrames.

Add Windchill as a secured domains in OSLC servers configured with Windchill RV&S, Windchill Modeler, Codebeamer, and IBM Rational Doors NG to enable access to the delegated interface from Windchill. For more information about how to add domains as secured, see the Windchill RV&S OSLC Server guide (12.3.0.0 onwards) on Reference Documents, OSLC integration with Integrity Modeler and OSLC integration with IBM Rational DOORS Next Generation in the Windchill Modeler Help Center.
