The {{UBIK}} EnterpriseService is a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_service Windows service] that is meant to automate {{UBIK}} interface components or interface workflows.

== Concept ==
The EnterpriseService typically runs on a server and watches an arbitrary amount of folders in the file system for changes, like new or modified files. Once such a change occurs, it parses the file and checks if its extension matches teh signature of a {{UBIK}} command file. If true, it will be processed.

== Command file ==
A command file for the {{UBIK}} EnterpriseService is a plain text file and has the extension ''.command''. When the EnterpriseService starts processing such a file, it will be parsed as an XML document, every non-XML information in the file will be ignored. A sample command file for starting an interface component looks like this:

<source lang="xml">
<InterfaceManager>
<Commands>
<Interface FullName="UBIK.TEST, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null" File="F:\Test\UBIK.TEST.dll" Class="UBIK.TestInterface" Direction="E">
</Interface>
</Commands>
</InterfaceManager>
</source>

This command file would attempt to instantiate the class UBIK.TestInterface from the assembly F:\Test\UBIK.TEST.dll. If connection succeeds, it will then invoke the the methods of the export interface.
