Contents
Arguments
| Argument | Type | Direction | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| UBIKObject | BaseClass | In | A UBIK object |
| Text | String | In | The string to be written to the debugging service |
| Result | Boolean | Out | Returns True on success, false on error |
Usage
This activity is typically used to output debug information like variable values, object properties etc. during the execution of a workflow.
 | Once your workflow runs smoothly, consider removing the DebugActivities you used during design. They are lean but they still consume resources! |
Example
Output the number of MetaClasses that derive (direct and indirect) from the MetaClass of a given object:
| Argument | Value |
|---|---|
| UBIKObject | Connect this argument with a variable |
| Text | UBIKObject.MetaClass.AllDerivates.Count.ToString() |
