Add client files
Client files you include in your BladeSmith project are downloaded to client workstations after a DataBlade® module is installed on a database server.
- Graphical user interfaces
- Documentation and help files
- Shared object files, dynamic link libraries, or header files containing DataBlade module routines executed in the client address space
Client files are installed on the database server in platform-specific directories in the DataBlade module installation directory. Clients use BladeManager to download the files to their workstations.
To add a client file to your DataBlade module, choose . Type the full path and file name in the local path field or click the browse button (...) and select a file from the Open dialog box. This file must be accessible to both BladeSmith and BladePack. Select the appropriate client operating system, version, and architecture for your file. This information is used by BladeManager to install the specific client files on the correct client computer.
For HCL OneDB™ Version 9.2 and later, the maximum length of a client file name is 64 characters.
For HCL OneDB Version 9.14, the maximum length of a client file name is 18 characters.
