Thingworx新建Thing的数据库表变化

为了在Thingworx的基础上建立统一的可视化平台，并且对软件产品具有自主控制权，不依赖于Thingworx软件（防止因Thingworx的升级、Bug导致的自主扩展功能受制），所以最近在研究Thingworx软件操作数据库的过程。这个过程将对自主开发的可视化平台的设计决策树产生一定影响，目前无法预料最终的用途，暂时预计将同步具有OUTPUT的Service，作为可视化图表的数据来源。

方法：

方法很简单，首先pgdump把数据库导出成sql，加入到git或者svn版本控制中。然后在Thingworx中对各类对象进行操作，操作后再次导出sql并覆盖上一次导出文件，通过git或svn观察文件的变化。

1、新建Thing

我新建了一个Database的Thing，并建立了一个Service。

有三张表发生了变化，分别是model_index，thing_model，user_model_properties。

model_index记录的是Thing的名称类别等基本信息，从名字也可以看出，是在Things列表和查询中作为索引记录使用的。

thing_model中是Thing中所有的信息，包括其配置信息（比如Database需要配置jdbc连接信息）和服务信息，所有的数据以JSON格式展现，存在一行数据中。

user_model_properties中存的是Thing的自然信息，即Information页的内容，但是建了两个Thing，数据却在一行，暂时不明白其规则。

 

 

再来分析一下具体内容

Thing名字是ThingName，所以model_index有了一条新数据

entity_name:ThingName

entity_type:2401 （还不知道这个值从哪来）

last_modified_time:2018-03-08 09:09:08.955 类别是时间戳

entity_id：ThingName#Thing

还有几个值我没有填，所以数据库中没有显示，但是很容易理解，由于暂时不涉及接下来做的事，所以暂时不做研究。

注意description这个字段并不是Documentation中填的内容。

 

今天还发现system_ownership也发生了变化，会记录每一次IP发生变化时的登录信息，和要做的事暂时没有关系。

 

thing_model记录了Thing的所有信息

className：指向了实际操作了类，应该是ThingTemplate的实现类（ThingTemplate相当于类或接口，实际上是一个类）。DataBase类别的Thing指向了com.thingworx.things.database.DatabaseSystem

configurationChanges：是记录变化的json数据，不知道这部分数据是不是仅用作于审计，是否有系统业务意义有待考证。

documentationContent：在info页面的备注存在该字段下

designTimePermissions：看字段和时间和授权同时有关联，"{"Read":[],"Delete":[],"Create":[],"Metadata":[],"Update":[]}"，不知道具体的数组数据里是怎么影响系统功能的。

ThingShape：包括了Service定义等内容
