Autoregistration of a standard DataBlade module in a database

Procedure

There is no longer a need to register any of the standard DataBlade® modules on Informix®.

The Autoregister process will detect when a datatype or access method is being used in an SQL statement, and register the blade automatically. This will take a few seconds to complete, but is a one-time operation for each database that uses the DataBlade.

For example, creating a table with a column that is declared as a timeseries type, or inserting a row into the calendar table, will automatically register the Timeseries datablade. You will see the following information in the message log.

09:30:05  INFO (autoregexe 1) (EXECUTE FUNCTION sysbldprepare ('TimeSeries.*', 'create'))
09:30:05  Loading Module <$INFORMIXDIR/extend/ifxmngr/ifxmngr.bld>
09:30:05  The C Language Module </opt/IBM/informix/extend/ifxmngr/ifxmngr.bld> loaded

Results

Note: The admin task scheduler must be running for this to happen automatically. This mechanism is only available for the DataBlades that are installed with the server. User defined datablades will need to use the manual SYSBldPrepare process.
