Importing Interfaces from Another DataBlade Module

 A DataBlade module can access data types and routines provided by another DataBlade module if you import an interface from that DataBlade module.

When you use BladeManager to register or unregister DataBlade modules in databases, BladeManager checks dependencies between modules to ensure that all required interfaces are available.

To import an interface, you must have the project file (project.ibs, where project is the name of the DataBlade module) of the DataBlade module from which you wish to import an interface.

To import an interface

    1. Open the project files for both DataBlade modules in BladeSmith: the one to import into and the one to import from.

    1. Click the object to import in the source project view.

    1. Choose Edit Copy.

    1. Click the destination project window.

    1. Choose Edit Import From Clipboard.

The object is added in the proper subfolder in the Imported Objects folder.
