Why / When do I need to compile customizing? ?
The complete UBIK® data model built up by Metaclasses, Metaproperties, etc. as well as customizing code needs to be compiled into invokable .NET assemblies. This is done by the UBIK Compiler, which therefore has to be called whenever you modify the used data model with respect to behavior of objects. See the Compiler article for more information.
You probably haven't compiled your customizing yet or you are using a customizing that was compiled against a different version of UBIK®.
What is the difference between Compile and test local and Compile and release?
Compile and test local compiles the customizing code without deploying them to the shared deployment path, hence use this option to test your customizing locally. Compile and release compiles the customizing code, deploys the assemblies to the shared deployment path and marks the current version as released for everyone. See the Compiler article for more information.
When do I need to rebuild database structures?
The complete UBIK® data model built up by Metaclasses and Metaproperties needs to be transformed into SQL structures (tables, views). Although this is usually performed by the UBIK® Kernel, try to rebuild the database structures whenever you modify the structural information of objects and the results do not seem to be sufficient. See the Compiler article for more information.
What is the difference between Object Code and UI Code?
See the Compiler article for more information.
Interfaces
Why is my workflow not executed correctly and/or completely?
Check if the configuration files UBIK.Studio.exe.config and UBIK.EnterpriseService.exe.config exists and logging is configured (ensure that directories are set). A missing or invalid configuratoin of the logging might cause a stop/break within the workflow.
Why is the imported / exported data not encoded correctly?
See the list of supported character encodings and how to use it in workflow activites like CreateCSVScope.
When / Why should I use workflows instead of coding?
See the Workflow article for some recommendations.
My workflow can not be executed via the Interface Manager. What could be wrong?
If you have defined custom parameters, make sure the workflow has according arguments. See also the parameters section of the Interface Manager page.
