Create registration scripts for dependent DataBlade modules

After you create one or more user-defined data types, an operator class, and other objects, use the Informix® DataBlade Developers Kit (DBDK) to package all the objects into an installable module.

All R-tree error messages are contained in the R-tree secondary access method extension.

The R-tree secondary access method extension is automatically registered when needed unless you chose not to install database extensions when you installed the Informix database server software.

When you develop a DataBlade module that uses the R-tree secondary access method, you can create a dependency on the R-tree secondary access method extension so that BladeManager automatically registers both the extension and the DataBlade module in the correct order. BladeManager is the HCL Informix product you use to register DataBlade modules in a database. You can use the DBDK to create a registration script that signals this dependency.

The dependency is signaled by importing an interface object provided by the R-tree secondary access method extension. During registration of the dependent DataBlade module, BladeManager checks interface dependencies and warns the user registering the DataBlade module if the R-tree secondary access method extension is not already registered in the database.
