General
Which component do I need for what use case?
See Set up UBIK® for details about use case dependent installations.
Where can I find some logging information and configure its destination?
Read the article about configure logging to get to know the destinations of log files and how to modify them.
Can I connect to my own web service from within UBIK®?
Yes, of course. You have to configure the according bindings and endpoints as desribed in Configuring Services Using Configuration Files.
Licensing
Where is the license file stored?
C:\Users\{Your Name}\AppData\LocalUBIKLicense.xml
Can I transfer the licensing file to a new computer?
No. It contains information about your hard- and software and will therefore not work on any other computer than the one it was originally activated
Can I modify the information in the licensing file?
No. If you modify something in the file it will become invalid
What if license activation fails with HTTP status 417: Expectation Failed.?
If the activation of UBIK® fails with an error The request failed with HTTP status 417: Expectation Failed. make sure that the system.net section in your local UBIK.Studio.config.xml contains a servicePointManager entry similar as
<settings>
<servicePointManager expect100Continue="false" />
</settings>
</system.net>
Infrastructure
Can I use UBIK® via an Application-Delivery-Solution, e.g. Citrix Reveiver?
No, that is not possible as such applications are mostly clients accessing a server based application pool. UBIK® is a stand-alone mobile application, which does not communicate via such virtualization client.
Which ports are used by default?
- Communication between the Server and Client uses 443 (https) or 80 (http). The authentication always requires https!
- Microsoft SQL Server uses 1433 by default
- → See Configure the Windows Firewall to Allow SQL Server Access and SQL Server TCP and UDP Ports for more details on ports.
- → See Choosing a Network Protocol for help choosing the right port.
Can I use http and https simultaneously?
No, that is not possible as the bindings of the web service needs to be configured either for http or https.
Database
Does UBIK® support other databases than MS SQL?
No, since UBIK® integrates quite deep into the database in order to be scalable.
What SQL Server should I use? What are the differences of the editions?
Please have a look at Microsoft SQL Server Library to check for limitations.
Can I use SQL Server Express?
Basically yes, but be aware of the limitations listed here.
