file in which the properties are stored. The fields that follow are
completed automatically using the data retrieved.

Select this check box and in the Component List click the relevant connection component to
reuse the connection details you already defined.

Host

Database server IP address.

Port

DB server listening port.

Database

Name of the database.

Schema

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.

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. When you create a Spark
Job, avoid the reserved word line when naming the
fields.

Built-In: You create and store the schema locally for this component
only.

Repository: You have already created the schema and stored it in the
Repository. You can reuse it in various projects and Job designs.

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.

Informix Directory

Informix installation directory, e.g. ”
C:Program FilesIBMIBM Informix Dynamic
Server11.50″.

Data file

Name of the file to be loaded.

Action on data

On the data of the table defined, you can perform the following
operations:

Insert: Add new data to the table.
If duplicates are found, the job stops.

Update: Update the existing table
data.

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: Delete the entry data which
corresponds to the input flow.

Additional JDBC parameters

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

Field terminated by

Character, string or regular expression which separates the
fields.

Set DBMONEY

Select this check box to define the decimal separator in the
Decimal separator field.

Set DBDATE

Select the date format that you want to apply.

Rows Before Commit

Enter the number of rows to be processed before the commit.

stop.

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.

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 rule

This component offers database query flexibility and covers all
possible DB2 queries which may be required.

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 Reading data from databases through context-based dynamic connections and 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.

The database server/client must be installed on the same machine
where the Studio is installed or where the Job using tInformixBulkExec is deployed, so that
the component functions properly.

This component requires installation of its related jar files.
