Licensing options for this format begin with FME Professional Edition.
The IBM Informix Non-Spatial (JDBC) reader and writer modules provide FME with access to attribute data held in IBM Informix database tables.
Overview
FME provides read and write access via IBM's Informix JDBC driver. IBM’s Informix JDBC driver is not bundled with FME, but can be downloaded from:
https://www-01.ibm.com/marketing/iwm/tnd/search.jsp?go=y&rs=ifxjdbc
Please note that the IBM Informix Non-Spatial (JDBC) format requires Informix JDBC driver version 4.10.JC4DE or newer.
Installing the JDBC Driver
To view instructions for installing the JDBC driver, please see Getting Started with JDBC.
Usage Notes
The performance of this format is dependent on the amount of memory allocated to the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). The following environment variables allow you to specify memory available to Java Plugins:
- FME_JVM_MIN_HEAP_SIZE: Initial heap size for initializing the JVM.
-
FME32_JVM_MIN_HEAP_SIZE: Same as FME_JVM_MIN_HEAP_SIZE, but applies to 32-bit FME Desktop on Windows, and takes precedence over FME_JVM_MIN_HEAP_SIZE.
- FME_JVM_MAX_HEAP_SIZE: Maximum heap size for initializing the JVM.
-
FME32_JVM_MAX_HEAP_SIZE: Same as FME_JVM_MAX_HEAP_SIZE, but applies to 32-bit FME Desktop on Windows, and takes precedence over FME_JVM_MAX_HEAP_SIZE.
These variables must be set for FME to honor them, and must be multiples of 1024K (for example, 4M and 64M, or 4096K and 32768K).
Note: To pass additional parameters used by FME to the Java Virtual Machine, use the JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS environment variable.
