Create interfaces
If you expect other DataBlade® modules to use the functionality provided by your DataBlade module, create an interface.
DataBlade developers can include the interface in a DataBlade module to ensure that BladeManager registers the DataBlade module with the interface before registering the DataBlade module dependent on the interface.
The interface you define encompasses all of your DataBlade module.
The following table lists the properties you specify when you create
an interface.
| Property | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Interface name | INewInterface | The name of the interface. Must be unique. Change the name to Iproject, where project is the name of your DataBlade module. |
| Interface description | None | Optional. A description of the interface and its intended purpose. |
For HCL OneDB™ Version 9.2 and later, the maximum length of an interface name is 64 characters.
For HCL OneDB Version 9.14, the maximum length of an interface name is 18 characters.
