When started, the interface manager searches for valid UBIK interface components. This search is performed in the sub-directory Interfaces.
Identifying Interface Components
- UBIK scans for assemblies (*.dll) which start with the name UBIK.Interface.
- it looks for types (classes) in those assemblies which derive from UBIK.Interface.UBIKInterfaceBase
- it checks if those types implement either UBIK.Interface.IUBIKImport or UBIK.Interface.IUBIKExport or both
All components that fulfill those criteria will be listed in the boxes Import Interfaces and/or Export Interfaces. Checking a component will mark it generally for execution with the UBIK EnterpriseService, if a respective valid .command file lands in one of the folders that can be added to Command Directories.
Additional Functions
The Parameters table allows the creation of named parameters that are passed via the .command file, to enable conditional execution.
A valid .command file for a component can be created with the button Create command file at any time, it will also be stored in the Interfaces sub-folder and named accordingly. Use this generated file to call your interface via the EnterpriseService later.
