Beta Version

Currently, UBIK® Server version 4.0.0 is in Beta testing stage.

Previously, in addition to the automatic tests, we've done a complete manual test of the Alpha version and have gone through a QA process fixing all defects blocking a release from R&D's point of view.

Now, we want to get feedback from our internal users to make sure we provide our products with the highest quality we can. Thus, the current version 4.0.0 is being distributed to engineers in our Service Department, who will test according to their needs and experience.

Depending on the resulting feedback, we will plan the further QA and release of UBIK.Server version 4.0.0.

Features

Revision A:

  • Managed System Definitions - No SQL scripts are required to update a database anymore. For installing a new UBIK® Environment, you only need an empty database and UBIK® Studio or SmartStudio.
  • Dynamic Live Mode (DLM) - All MetaClasses are always in Live Mode now. If you change a MetaClass, UBIK® adapts the database automatically.
  • Relational Polymorphism - Override MetaProperty assignments for MetaClasses and MetaProxyProperty assignments for MetaProxies.

Revision D:

  • A set of methods for hard-deleting objects from the database is now available in the IDataFactory interface:
bool HardDeleteRecords(MetaClass mc, DateTime? markedBefore = null);
bool HardDeleteRecords(MetaClass mc, List<Guid> idsToDelete);

E.g.:

environment.UBIKDataFactory().HardDeleteRecords(metaclass);

Enhancements

Revision B:

  • Better saving performance: The saving performance was improved, especially for individual instances via the network.
  • Better bulk saving performance: The saving performance was improved, especially for many instances via the network.

Revision C:

  • A base implementation for the ISystemDefinitionProvider interface was created, to make system definition version management easier for plugin developers.
  • Added default instances for View, Application and Context.
  • For system definitions, (read-only and customizable) property values are now accessible.
  • The Kernel system definitions version was raised to 4.0.0.2.

Revision D:

  • Enhanced system initialization performance for regular startups (without DB upgrade).
  • The Kernel system definitions version was raised to 4.0.0.3.
  • An internal performance benchmark tool for UBIK database operations was provided.

Bug Fixes

Revision C:

  • An issue where document related system definitions were incomplete was fixed.
  • The UIDs and ORDERs for the default languages were corrected, and Portuguese was added as a default language.

Revision D:

  • Added default units and unit items to the system definitions.

Revison E:

  • Fixed an issue where system selective lists yielded redundant items.
  • Fixed an issue where the DeleteConfiguration class broke the customizing build.
  • Removed UTS and CTS from custom code comment header for system meta classes.

Revision F:

  • Fixed an issue where system objects weren't listed as instances of their meta class.
  • Fixed an issue where numeric sequence objects couldn't be saved to the database.
  • Added a selective list to the ByteStreamType system MetaProperty.
  • Fixed several interfacing and proxy related issues.


Known Issues

  • System meta classes do not have icons and international descriptions at the moment. This does not affect instances or meta classes created by the user.
  • The automatic creation of database views for reporting and human readability requires further polishing.
