You can add these objects to your product in BladePack:

To add a file or directory
  1. Choose Edit > Insert > object, where object is File to Install, File to Delete, Directory to Install, or Directory to Delete.

    The object appears on the Files/Directories page.

  2. Specify the properties of the object on the Details and other pages in the item view.

The following sections describe the properties of the objects on the Files/Directories page.

Files and Directories to Be Installed or Deleted

The following table lists properties you define when you add files and directories to install or delete.

Property
Description
Local name
The local name of the file or directory to be installed or deleted. Choose Browse to select a file from the Open dialog box.

You can have multiple operating system-specific files to install. See Local Paths for Files for Multiple Operating Systems for more information.

Target directory
For files and directories to install only.

The directory in which the file or directory is installed.

See Specifying a Target Directory for more information.

Target operating system
The operating system on which to install the file or directory.
Component
The component, subcomponent, or shared component to which the file or directory is assigned.

See Assigning to Components for more information on assigning to components.

File copy options
For files and directories to install only.

Options for copying files, including whether the file is installed only if it has the same or later date or version than the existing file. The default is None.

Local Paths for Files for Multiple Operating Systems

If you have files that are operating-system-specific, put them in a directory structure that is the same except for one directory, which is named for the operating system. When you add the file to your BladePack project, replace the directory named for the operating system with %OS%.

For example, if you compile your C or C++ DataBlade module on Sun Solaris and Windows, you have two project.bld files, one in each of these directories:

Add the project/src/c/Solaris-sparc/project.bld file to the Files to Install folder and then replace Solaris-sparc with %OS%. When you build the BladePack project for Sun Solaris and Windows, BladePack adds the appropriate project.bld file to each project.

For a Java DataBlade module, you have only one version of the project.jar file, which is in the project/src/java directory.

Specifying a Target Directory

For UNIX, the only option in the list for the Directory on target machine field is __home. This is the directory the installer chooses during the installation process. By default this directory is $INFORMIXDIR.

For the DataBlade module files (project.bld or project.jar and the SQL scripts), you should specify the extend/project directory as the target directory under the $INFORMIXDIR directory.
