To install a DataBlade module for testing and debugging, create a project directory and copy over the necessary files. Create the project directory under $INFORMIXDIR/extend. The name of the project directory is what BladeManager uses as the DataBlade module name. A good project naming strategy is to combine the project name and version numbers you entered in the New Project wizard in BladeSmith. For example, the Circle project, Version 1.0, can be in $INFORMIXDIR/extend/Circle.1.0. Informix DataBlade modules also include a string indicating the build platform and minor release: for example, 1.0.UC1.TC2, where UC1 is the first UNIX major release, and TC2 is the second Windows NT minor release. To copy the necessary files to the project directory, use one of these methods:
Registering a DataBlade Module You need to register your DataBlade module the first time you install it, and if you change the definition of any of your DataBlade module objects in BladeSmith and generate new SQL files. You do not have to reregister your DataBlade module when you just replace its shared object file. See the DataBlade Module Installation and Registration Guide for more information on registering DataBlade modules.
