Registering with the BladeManager graphical user interface

To use a DataBlade module in a database, you must first register the DataBlade module in the database. Registration is the process of executing the SQL statements that create the DataBlade module database objects and identify the DataBlade module shared object file or dynamic link library to the database server. You use BladeManager to register DataBlade modules.

Before you can use BladeManager, you must complete the tasks listed in the section Preparing to use the BladeManager graphical user interface.

These topics describe how to register DataBlade modules using the BladeManager graphical user interface main application window on Windows computers. You can also use the SYSBldPrepare( ) function or the command-line interface of BladeManager to register DataBlade modules. For details of DataBlade module registration on UNIX or Windows using calls to SYSBldPrepare( ), see Registering with the SYSBldPrepare( ) function. For details of DataBlade module registration on UNIX or Windows using the command-line interface of BladeManager, see Registering with the BladeManager command-line interface.

The graphical user interface to the BladeManager application provides four tabbed pages on which you can perform tasks.
