Importing the ifxrltree interface object
In the BladeSmith tool, which is part of the Informix® DataBlade Developers Kit (DBDK), an interface object represents a set of functionality provided by the DataBlade module that defines the interface. Each interface object has a unique name. The interface for the R-tree access method is named ifxrltree1. The functionality that it represents is the set of error objects defined for the method.
To complete the BladeSmith project for a DataBlade module dependent on the R-Tree access method, you must import the ifxrltree1 interface object into the dependent DataBlade module's BladeSmith project file.
The ifxrltree1 interface object is located in the R-tree access method BladeSmith project file, ifxrltree.ibs. This BladeSmith project file is located in the $INFORMIXDIR/extend/ifxrltree.version directory
To import the ifxrltree1 interface object:
- If necessary, copy the ifxrltree.ibs BladeSmith project file from its location under the $INFORMIXDIR/extend/ifxrltree.version directory to a directory accessible from the Windows environment in which you run BladeSmith.
- In BladeSmith, open ifxrltree.ibs in addition to opening the project of the dependent DataBlade module.
- In the ifxrltree project, select the ifxrltree1 interface object and copy it to the clipboard.
- In the project of the dependent DataBlade module, choose to import the ifxrltree1 interface.
