Importing the ifxrltree Interface Object

In the BladeSmith tool, which is part of the DBDK, an interface object represents a set of functionality provided by the DataBlade module that defines the interface. Each interface object has a unique name. The interface for the IBM Informix R-Tree Secondary Access Method DataBlade module is named ifxrltree1. The functionality that it represents is the set of error objects defined in the module.

To complete the BladeSmith project for a DataBlade module dependent on the R-Tree access method, you must import the ifxrltree1 interface object into the dependent DataBlade module's BladeSmith project file.

The ifxrltree1 interface object is located in the IBM Informix R-Tree Secondary Access Method DataBlade module BladeSmith project file, ifxrltree.ibs. This BladeSmith project file is located in the $INFORMIXDIR/extend/ifxrltree.version directory, where version refers to the version of the IBM Informix R-Tree Secondary Access Method DataBlade module installed on your computer.

To import the ifxrltree1 interface object

If necessary, copy the ifxrltree.ibs BladeSmith project file from its location under the $INFORMIXDIR/extend/ifxrltree.version directory to a directory accessible from the Windows environment in which you run BladeSmith.
In BladeSmith, open ifxrltree.ibs in addition to opening the project of the dependent DataBlade module.
In the ifxrltree project (the project name for the IBM Informix R-Tree Secondary Access Method DataBlade module), select the ifxrltree1 interface object and copy it to the clipboard.
In the project of the dependent DataBlade module, choose Edit > Import > From Clipboard to import the ifxrltree1 interface.
