automatically using the data retrieved.

Host

Database server IP address.

Port

DB server listening port.

Database

Name of the database.

Schema

Name of the schema

Username and Password

DB user authentication data.

To enter the password, click the […] button next to the
password field, and then in the pop-up dialog box enter the password between double quotes
and click OK to save the settings.

Instance

Name of the Informix instance to be used. This information can
generally be found in the SQL hosts file.

Additional JDBC parameters

Specify additional connection properties for the DB connection
you are creating. This option is not available if you have selected the
Use an existing connection check box
in the Basic settings.

Use or register a shared DB Connection

Select this check box to share your
database connection or fetch a database connection shared by a parent or child Job,
and in the Shared DB Connection Name field displayed, enter the
name for the shared database connection. This allows you to share one single database
connection (except the database schema setting) among several database connection
components from different Job levels that can be either parent or child.

This option is
incompatible with the Use dynamic job and Use an
independent process to run subjob options of the
tRunJob component. Using a shared connection together with a
tRunJob component with either of these two options enabled
will cause your Job to fail.

Use Transaction

Clear this check box when the database is configured in NO_LOG.
mode. If the check box is selected, you can choose whether to
activate the Auto Commit option.

Auto Commit

Select this check box to commit any changes to the database automatically upon
the transaction.

With this check box selected, you cannot use the corresponding commit component
to commit changes to the database; likewise, when using the corresponding commit
component, this check box has to be cleared. By default, the auto commit function is
disabled and changes must be committed explicitly using the corresponding commit
component.

Note that the auto commit function commits each SQL statement as a single
transaction immediately after the statement is executed while the commit component does
not commit only until all of the statements are executed. For this reason, if you need
more room to manage your transactions in a Job, it is recommended to use the commit
component.

tStatCatcher Statistics

Select this check box to collect the log data at a component
level.

Usage rule

This component is generally used with other Informix components,
particularly tInformixCommit and
tInformixRollback.

Database Family

Databases/Informix

Limitation

This component requires installation of its related jar files.
