Dataconnect analytics 8.1

Dataconnect analytics 8.1

Hi guys,

today I'm working on a small analytics example with ThingWorx 8.1.1 and Analytics 8.1.

I would work with the new AnalyticsServer_xxxThing's (e.g. AnalyticsServer_DataThing). With the AnalyticsServer_DataThing I can only create new datasets with json and csv-files. At Thingworx version 8.0 I have to use Dataconnect to create csv-files from thing properties. For the version 8.1 there is no Dataconnect download available. Do I use the old Dataconnect? Can I avoid the Dataconnect?

Hi David Richter

We do not have Data Connect available for version 8.1 and Data connect 8.0 is not going to work with TWX 8.1 due to compatibility issues.

Hi Mohit Goel​,

and now I must build the csv and the json file manuelly (or better by own implemented services)? O.o

Is the Data Analytics Definition stuff now useless?

Hi David,

I have been facing the same problem but yes unfortunaltely, DataConnect is no longer available in ThingWorx 8.1 (Is DataConnect not available in ThingWorx 8.1?).

I am also looking to get a work around to just get the JSON and CSV files generated. I will update here if I am able to find a workaround and please do let me know if you find it before me

Also how are you able to generate JSON and CSV files with the AnalyticsServer Thing?

Best regards,

Tushar

I'm working on a workaround. I generate a json and a csv file with some services. To send the json and the csv file via AnalyticsServer_DataThing I need the absolute path to the generated json and csv file. How can I get the path to a repository? (the link to the files via Repository.GetFileListingWithLinks() will not work). I think I need the absolute path in filesystem.

Ok I resolved.

You don't need use the absolute path. You can use

path = "thingworx://" + FILEREPOSITORYNAME + "/" + FOLDER + "/" + FILE (json/csv)
