This connector is available in Self-Hosted deployments only.

​
Prerequisites

Before you add your connector, you need to download the JDBC driver and set up Informix to use the application’s change data capture (CDC) capability.

​
Download the Native JDBC Driver

Download the JDBC driver and copy it into InstallationDirectory/lib.
Because the JAR file is located in InstallationDirectory, you need to put this file on every machine that you use for a cluster environment.

​
Set Up Informix for CDC

Perform the following steps to enable the Change Data Capture API in :
  1. Run the following script as the Informix user from the $INFORMIXDIR/etc directory: syscdcv1.sql
  2. Verify that the syscdcv1 database exists by creating a connection to it as the user Informix.
  3. Set the DB_LOCALE environment variable (on your machine) to match the locale of the database from which you are capturing data.
The INTERVAL type is not supported by Change Stream client in the CDC API.
For details about the CDC Engine, see Using the CDC Engine.
