ThingWorx Package Creation as extension takes very long even for small projects

Hi everyone,

I have a question regarding the Publish Solution process as extension in ThingWorx.

Even for very small projects — for example, a project containing only 3 entities — the publishing process (as Extension) takes quite a long time before the download starts. I have also tested it by calling the “Publish Solution” REST API directly, but the result is the same — it takes noticeably long to generate the package.

We are currently using ThingWorx 9.3, and I was wondering:

Is this expected behavior for this version?
Has the performance improved in newer ThingWorx releases?
Or is there maybe any configuration or optimization that could speed this up?

This is just for my understanding — but any technical explanation about what happens during the publish process would be great.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @MA8731174,

Are you talking about Package and Publish Your Solution to Solution Central?

I think this is a support case issue that requires case-by-case investigation. Please consider opening a support case for this issue.

Best,
