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

Before you begin using BladeSmith, complete these tasks:

• Design your DataBlade module.

Write a functional specification to provide an overview of the features of your DataBlade module and a design specification to describe in detail how you plan to implement those features. Use your design specification as a reference when you supply input for BladeSmith.

See Designing Your DataBlade Module for more information.

• If you plan to register your DataBlade module with Informix, obtain project information from Informix:
• DataBlade module project name
• Three-character new object prefix
• Error codes

See Contacting the Informix Registry for more information.
