The WriteLogEntry Activity writes a log message to the UBIK® logging mechanism.

[edit]

Description

Write Log Entry
Name WriteLogEntry
Purpose Write a log entry via the UBIK® logging mechanism
Category Logging
Returns True if successful
Version 2.3+

Arguments

Argument Type Direction Purpose
UBIKObject BaseClass In An UBIK® object
LogId Integer In A user defined id to use for this log entry
Text String In The message text to be written in the log entry
Title String In The title of the log entry
Result Boolean Out Returns True on success, false on error

Usage

This activity is typically used to write information into a log file to document certain events like failures together with object properties etc. during the execution of a workflow. The location for this logfile can be configured by the user by editing the Web Service Configuration in section loggingConfiguration. For configuring the logging in UBIK.Studio, the section loggingConfiguration also exists in the Application Config file.

IC Hint square.pngOnce your workflow runs smoothly, consider removing frequently appearing log entries you needed during the design phase. Please be aware that the intense use of log output needs system resources and can generate confusing amounts of information!

Example

Output the number of MetaClasses that derive (direct and indirect) from the MetaClass of a given object:

Argument Value
UBIKObject Connect this argument with a variable
Text
UBIKObject.MetaClass.AllDerivates.Count.ToString()
