Ways to communicate to Windchill in Thingworx RESTful End Point Infoengine / SOAP based Webservices
Accessing Out of the box Restful Services via Swagger Enable Site Preference -> Client Customization set to yes.
Example of Out of the Box Restful Web Service Access and Test it via Swagger UI. ( Enable Customization in the Site -> Preferences) Create a service in ptc-Windchill-Demo-Thing which will be calling Rest Endpoint in Windchill. Once service is tested. We create Mashup to visualize the content.
Windchill Data Visualization in Thingworx 2 1 Create a service in PTC- Windchill-DemoThing to access RESTEndPoint Test RESTful Service in Swagger 3 Visualize the data in the Mashup Windchill Thingworx
In Thingworx Composer Write a test service in PTC-Windchill-Demo Thing
