DataBlade Developers Kit User's Guide Creating DataBlade Objects Using BladeSmith

Client files you include in your BladeSmith project are downloaded to client workstations after a DataBlade module is installed on a database server. Client files include:

• graphical user interfaces.
• documentation and help files.
• shared object files, dynamic link libraries, or header files containing DataBlade module routines executed in the client address space.

Client files are installed on the database server in platform-specific directories in the DataBlade module installation directory. Clients use BladeManager to download the files to their workstations.

To add a client file to your DataBlade module, choose Edit Insert Client Files. Type the full path and filename in the local path field or click the browse button (...) and select a file from the Open dialog box. This file must be accessible to both BladeSmith and BladePack. Select the appropriate client operating system, version, and architecture for your file. This information is used by BladeManager to install the specific client files on the correct client computer.

For Dynamic Server Version 9.2, the maximum length of a client filename is 64 characters.

For Dynamic Server Version 9.14, the maximum length of a client filename is 18 characters.
