Prerequisite for DPT Configuration
The following prerequisites are 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 the 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. Ensure that the following ExtensionPackageImportPolicy parameters are added in the platform-settings.json file, and their values are 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,

• By default, all ExtensionPackageImportPolicy parameters are set to false. It is recommended to change the parameter values from true to false after a successful import.
• For more information on platform settings and importing extensions, see platform-settings.json Configuration Details and Importing Extensions in the ThingWorx Platform Help Center.
