Connection Parameters
Host
This specifies the machine running the Redshift ORDBMS as either an IP address or host name. The database must have proper permissions and be set up to accept TCP/IP connections if connecting from a remote machine.
Port
When connecting remotely, this specifies the TCP/IP port on which to connect to the ORDBMS service. The default port is 5439.
Database
This specifies the name of the Redshift database. The database must exist in the ORDBMS.
Username and Password
Enter the username and password to access the database, user account, or wherever authentication is required.
Advanced
Starting Feature
The number at which the writer will start writing features into the database. The writer skips the number of features in this parameter, and then it begins writing the features that follow.
Usually, the value specified is 0 (this is the default) – a non-zero value is usually only specified when a data load operation is being resumed after failing partway through.
Features Per Transaction
The number of features that FME places in each transaction before a transaction is committed to the database.
