You can add new workflow activities to your UBIK^® system via the Injection Management interface.

Prerequisites

The new activity needs to be placed in a UBIK plugin.

Workflow

Further more your Plugin should implement the Ubik UBIK.WorkflowBase.IUBIKActivity (but there is no technical need to do it).

Therefor, you need a reference to UBIK.WorkflowBase.

Example:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Activities;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.ComponentModel.Composition;
using UBIK.Kernel;
using UBIK.WorkflowBase;

namespace UBIK.Interface.Module.PluginExamples
{
/// <summary>
/// Sends a message to UBIK.Compiler.Debugger
/// </summary>
[UBIK.WorkflowBase.Attributes.Category("UBIK Plugins")]
[Export(typeof(UBIK.Injection.IUbikPlugin))]
[ExportMetadata("ID", "C149402E-BC86-46D6-8D1B-63C86894EA77")]
[ExportMetadata("Type", typeof(TestActivity))]
[ExportMetadata("Name", "TestActivity" )]
[ExportMetadata("Description", "WF Activity: Sends a message to UBIK.Compiler.Debugger")]
[ExportMetadata("Version", 1)]
[ExportMetadata("Company", "Augmensys GmbH")]
[ExportMetadata("Copyright", "2015, Augmensys GmbH")]
public class TestActivity : NativeActivity<string>, UBIK.Injection.IUbikPlugin, UBIK.WorkflowBase.IUBIKActivity
{
public InArgument<BaseClass> UBIKObject { get; set; }
public InArgument<string> Text { get; set; }

protected override void Execute(NativeActivityContext context)
{
BaseClass bc = this.UBIKObject.Get<BaseClass>(context);

string txt = this.Text.Get<string>(context);

UBIK.Compiler.Debugger.Output(this, txt);

this.Result.Set(context, txt);
}
}
}

The injection of workflow activities is only supported if the plugin is placed within Injection under the UBIK installation directory. Make also sure this folder is configured as probing path in the config file.
