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 endpoins 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

<system.net>
   <settings>
      <servicePointManager expect100Continue="false" />
   </settings>
</system.net>

Network

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 for more details on ports.

→ See Choosing a Network Protocol for help choosing the right port.

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.
