To document certain events (errors, warnings, etc.) that occur in the {{UBIK}} system, a logging mechanism is provided to support the designer or programmer in finding issues in the design process or to identify the reason for problems at runtime. Logging in {{UBIK}} can be configured for the Web Service as well as for the {{UBIKSTUDIO}}. The general configuration for logging is described [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms733830%28v=vs.110%29.aspx here].

{{UBIK}} has different types of categories configured for the logging mechanism. The following categories can be configured in the configuration files. Categories with the remark '''internal''' are available via customizing code, but are used to log internal events. As it is not recommended to mix logging of internal events together with others, the two additional categories '''CUSTOMIZING''' and '''WORKFLOW''' have been created.

Configure Logging for Version 3.5 or earlier

By default, logging is switched on using default setttings, for example for the destination path of the logging files. See Logging.config for an example of a configuration file for logging.

Switch off logging

Turning off logging can be done by setting the switchValue in the Category Source to Off in the corresponding config files:

  • UBIK.Studio.exe.config for UBIK® Studio
  • Web.config for the webservice
<loggingConfiguration name="" tracingEnabled="true" defaultCategory="ASSERTION">
...
   <categorySources>
     ...
     <add switchValue="Off" name="ASSERTION">
        <listeners>
           <add name="log.assertion"/>
        </listeners>
     </add>
   ...
   </categorySources>
...
</loggingConfiguration>

Instead of editing the config files, it is also possible to use the graphical configuration tool from the Enterprise Library. After installing the package open the config file with the tool and switch on or off logging for each category as shown.
