Debugging a DataBlade module

Debugging a DataBlade module is usually an iterative process, repeated several times until the code is debugged.

1. Compile the JAR file (if necessary).
2. Install the DataBlade module shared object and SQL scripts in the $INFORMIXDIR/extend/project directory. See Installing a DataBlade module for more information.
3. Start your database server while logged on as the informix user. See the HCL Informix Administrator's Guide for more information.
4. Register the DataBlade module by using BladeManager (if necessary). See the Register a DataBlade module for more information.
5. If you are replacing an existing JAR file, shut down and restart the database server. See Replace a DataBlade module JAR file for more information.
6. Execute a query that calls the method by using an SQL query tool such as DB-Access or SQL Editor. See the IBM Informix DB-Access User's Guide for more information.
7. Examine the Java™ log file for errors. See Logging and error handling for more information.
8. Edit the source code (if necessary).
9. Repeat the procedure, as necessary.
