Using BladeSmith to generate the AddInts DataBlade module and open the project file in Visual C++
To generate the AddInts DataBlade module:
- Choose .
- With the DataBlade node at the top of the file tree selected, click Generate DataBlade.
- After BladeSmith finishes generating code, click MSDev to start Microsoft Visual C++ and open the AddInts.dsw workspace file.
BladeSmith generates the following files for your DataBlade module:
| Files | Description |
|---|---|
| Makefiles | The AddInts.dsw file is the makefile for Windows and the AddIntsU.mak file is the makefile for UNIX. These files are generated in the AddInts\src directory. See the IBM® Informix DataBlade Developers Kit User's Guide for instructions on compiling on UNIX. |
| Source code files | On Windows, you access these source code files through the AddInts.dsw file. Source code files are generated in the AddInts\src\c directory. |
| Unit test files | These files contain SQL statements to test your DataBlade module routines during debugging on Windows. Unit test files are generated in the AddInts\src\tests directory. |
| SQL scripts | These files are saved in the AddInts\scripts directory. |
| Functional test files | These files contain SQL statements to test your DataBlade module routines on UNIX after you finish debugging. Functional test files are generated in the AddInts\functest directory. |
| Installation files | These files are used by BladePack when you package your DataBlade module. Installation files are generated in the AddInts\install directory. |
For more information about the Generate DataBlade command, see the IBM Informix DataBlade Developers Kit User's Guide.
The BladeSmith portion of this exercise is complete; you can exit BladeSmith.
