Create UBIK Workflow Activity Plugin

Revision as of 14:54, 16 February 2015 by KNO (Talk | contribs)

You can add new workflow activities to your UBIK® system via a plugin used by the Injection Management interface.

Prerequisites

The new activity needs to be placed in a UBIK plugin which should implement the interface UBIK.WorkflowBase.IUBIKActivity. Although there is no technical need for it we recommand that every activity should at least implement this interface.

The interface is located in the UBIK.WorkflowBase which has to be referenced therefor.

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);
        }
    }
}
IC Attention.pngThe 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.
