UBIK Plugin Design

Revision as of 15:08, 14 October 2025 by NWE (Talk | contribs) (Supported capabilities)

The UBIK® Plugin Design feature allows users to create a UBIK® Plugin C# solution, including system definitions purely from customizing in UBIK® Studio.

Usage

Creation of a new Plugin Design Configuration

Creating a plugin design configuration instance

The feature is accessible through the "System.PluginDesign.PLUGIN_DESIGN_CONFIGURATION" metaclass in UBIK Studio. A new Plugin Design Configuration instance can be created in the Bulk Editor to define a custom plugin context.

Adding MetaClasses to the configuration

Adding a MetaClass to the configuration

Custom metaclasses can be added to the plugin configuration using the "SYSREL_PLUGINDESIGNCONFIG_METACLASS" relation in the Relation Editor.

Exporting a C# solution for the plugin

Trigger the C# solution generation

A C# solution can be generated for the plugin via context menu action in the Class Browser (content view style): Right-click the Plugin Configuration instance, 'Start Action → "" → Create a C# solution for a custom UBIK plugin'. This will increase the plugin version (revision), generate the C# solution and prompt the user with a save dialog for a respective .zip archive.

Resulting C# solution in Visual Studio
