tInformixOutput

Executes the action defined on the table and/or on the data contained in the
table, based on the flow incoming from the preceding component in the Job.

tInformixOutput writes, updates, makes changes or suppresses entries in a
database.

tInformixOutput Standard properties

These properties are used to configure tInformixOutput running in the Standard Job framework.

The Standard
tInformixOutput component belongs to the Databases family.

The component in this framework is generally available.

Basic settings

Property type	Either Built-in or Repository .
	Built-in: No property data stored centrally.
	Repository: Select the repository file in which the properties are stored. The fields that follow are completed automatically using the data retrieved.
	Click this icon to open a database connection wizard and store the database connection parameters you set in the component Basic settings view. For more information about setting up and storing database connection parameters, see Talend Studio User Guide.
Use an existing connection	Select this check box and in the Component List click the relevant connection component to reuse the connection details you already defined. Note: When a Job contains the parent Job and the child Job, if you need to share an existing connection between the two levels, for example, to share the connection created by the parent Job with the child Job, you have to: In the parent level, register the database connection to be shared in the Basic settings view of the connection component which creates that very database connection. In the child level, use a dedicated connection component to read that registered database connection. For an example about how to share a database connection across Job levels, see Talend Studio User Guide.
Host	Database server IP address
Port	Listening port number of DB server.
Database	Name of the database
DB server	Name of the database server
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.
Table	Name of the table to be written. Note that only one table can be written at a time
Action on table	On the table defined, you can perform one of the following operations: None: No operation is carried out. Drop and create a table: The table is removed and created again. Create a table: The table does not exist and gets created. Create a table if not exists: The table is created if it does not exist. Drop a table if exists and create: The table is removed if it already exists and created again. Clear a table: The table content is deleted. Truncate table: Truncate the table. Warning: A commit operation will be carried out after the table is truncated.
Action on data	On the data of the table defined, you can perform: Insert: Add new entries to the table. If duplicates are found, Job stops. Update: Make changes to existing entries Insert or update: Insert a new record. If the record with the given reference already exists, an update would be made. Update or insert: Update the record with the given reference. If the record does not exist, a new record would be inserted. Delete: Remove entries corresponding to the input flow. Warning: It is necessary to specify at least one column as a primary key on which the Update and Delete operations are based. You can do that by clicking Edit Schema and selecting the check box(es) next to the column(s) you want to set as primary key(s). For an advanced use, click the Advanced settings view where you can simultaneously define primary keys for the Update and Delete operations. To do that: Select the Use field options check box and then in the Key in update column, select the check boxes next to the column names you want to use as a base for the Update operation. Do the same in the Key in delete column for the Delete operation. Note: The dynamic schema feature can be used in the following modes: Insert; Update; Insert or update; Update or insert; Delete.
Schema and Edit schema	A schema is a row description. It defines the number of fields (columns) to be processed and passed on to the next component. The schema is either Built-In or stored remotely in the Repository. This component offers the advantage of the dynamic schema feature. This allows you to retrieve unknown columns from source files or to copy batches of columns from a source without mapping each column individually. For further information about dynamic schemas, see Talend Studio User Guide. This dynamic schema feature is designed for the purpose of retrieving unknown columns of a table and is recommended to be used for this purpose only; it is not recommended for the use of creating tables.
	Built-In: You create and store the schema locally for this component only. Related topic: see Talend Studio User Guide.
	Repository: You have already created the schema and stored it in the Repository. You can reuse it in various projects and Job designs. Related topic: see Talend Studio User Guide. When the schema to be reused has default values that are integers or functions, ensure that these default values are not enclosed within quotation marks. If they are, you must remove the quotation marks manually. You can find more details about how to verify default values in retrieved schema in Talend Help Center (https://help.talend.com).
	Click Edit schema to make changes to the schema. If the current schema is of the Repository type, three options are available: View schema: choose this option to view the schema only. Change to built-in property: choose this option to change the schema to Built-in for local changes. Update repository connection: choose this option to change the schema stored in the repository and decide whether to propagate the changes to all the Jobs upon completion. If you just want to propagate the changes to the current Job, you can select No upon completion and choose this schema metadata again in the [Repository Content] window.
Die on error	This check box is selected by default. Clear the check box to skip the row on error and complete the process for error-free rows. If needed, you can retrieve the rows on error via a Row > Rejects link.

Advanced settings

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. Note: You can press Ctrl+Space to access a list of predefined global variables.
Commit every	Number of rows to be completed before committing batches of rows together into the DB. This option ensures transaction quality (but not rollback) and, above all, better performance at executions.
Additional Columns	This option is not offered if you create (with or without drop) the DB table. This option allows you to call SQL functions to perform actions on columns, which are not insert, nor update or delete actions, or action that require particular preprocessing.
	Name: Type in the name of the schema column to be altered or inserted as new column
	SQL expression: Type in the SQL statement to be executed in order to alter or insert the relevant column data.
	Position: Select Before, Replace or After following the action to be performed on the reference column.
	Reference column: Type in a column of reference that the tDBOutput can use to place or replace the new or altered column.
Use field options	Select this check box to customize a request, especially when there is double action on data.
Enable debug mode	Select this check box to display each step during processing entries in a database.
Use Batch	Select this check box to activate the batch mode for data processing.
Batch Size	Specify the number of records to be processed in each batch.. This field appears only when the Use batch mode check box is selected.
Optimize the batch insertion	Ensure the check box is selected, to optimize the insertion of batches of data.
tStatCatcher Statistics	Select this check box to collect log data at the component level.
Enable parallel execution	Select this check box to perform high-speed data processing, by treating multiple data flows simultaneously. Note that this feature depends on the database or the application ability to handle multiple inserts in parallel as well as the number of CPU affected. In the Number of parallel executions field, either: Enter the number of parallel executions desired. Press Ctrl + Space and select the appropriate context variable from the list. For further information, see Talend Studio User Guide. Note that when parallel execution is enabled, it is not possible to use global variables to retrieve return values in a subjob. Warning: The Action on table field is not available with the parallelization function. Therefore, you must use a tCreateTable component if you want to create a table. When parallel execution is enabled, it is not possible to use global variables to retrieve return values in a subjob.

Global Variables

Global Variables	NB_LINE: the number of rows processed. This is an After variable and it returns an integer. NB_LINE_UPDATED: the number of rows updated. This is an After variable and it returns an integer. NB_LINE_INSERTED: the number of rows inserted. This is an After variable and it returns an integer. NB_LINE_DELETED: the number of rows deleted. This is an After variable and it returns an integer. NB_LINE_REJECTED: the number of rows rejected. This is an After variable and it returns an integer. QUERY: the query statement processed. This is an After variable and it returns a string. ERROR_MESSAGE: the error message generated by the component when an error occurs. This is an After variable and it returns a string. This variable functions only if the Die on error check box is cleared, if the component has this check box. A Flow variable functions during the execution of a component while an After variable functions after the execution of the component. To fill up a field or expression with a variable, press Ctrl + Space to access the variable list and choose the variable to use from it. For further information about variables, see Talend Studio User Guide.

Usage

Usage rule	This component offers the flexibility benefit of the DB query and covers all of the SQL queries possible. This component must be used as an output component. It allows you to carry out actions on a table or on the data of a table in a Informix database. It also allows you to create a reject flow using a Row > Rejects link to filter data in error. For an example of tMySqlOutput in use, see Scenario: Retrieving data in error with a Reject link.
Dynamic settings	Click the [+] button to add a row in the table and fill the Code field with a context variable to choose your database connection dynamically from multiple connections planned in your Job. This feature is useful when you need to access database tables having the same data structure but in different databases, especially when you are working in an environment where you cannot change your Job settings, for example, when your Job has to be deployed and executed independent of Talend Studio . The Dynamic settings table is available only when the Use an existing connection check box is selected in the Basic settings view. Once a dynamic parameter is defined, the Component List box in the Basic settings view becomes unusable. For examples on using dynamic parameters, see Scenario: Reading data from databases through context-based dynamic connections and Scenario: Reading data from different MySQL databases using dynamically loaded connection parameters. For more information on Dynamic settings and context variables, see Talend Studio User Guide.
Limitation	This component requires installation of its related jar files.
