Informix write listener – Rest API setup issues
Posted: April 25, 2017 Filed under: Informix, Informix 12, Informix wire listener | Tags: Informix, Informix 12, Informix wire listener Leave a commentFor my talk at IIUG 2017 I was working with the wire listener on Informix.
When setting up a wire listener for the REST API I found some Informix packaging issues and issues with the DeveloperWorks article.
I was following the developerWorks article Informix and NoSQL: First Steps with the REST API
NOTE: This series of articles REALLY helped when getting my talk ready!
I was working with the latest Informix server version 12.10.FC8 on CentOS 7 and found:
a) When unpacking nosql_sdk.zip this unpacks to folder nosql-sdk-1.2.2 – there was no explict step with the command to add a link called nosql_sdk to make the examples work, I add this below.
cd $INFORMIXDIR
unzip bin/nosql_sdk.zip
ln -s nosql-sdk-1.2.2 nosql_sdk
b) The library ${INFORMIXDIR}/nosql_sdk/tomcat-embed-core.jar is missing!
Noticing that the other libaries were for version 8.0.38 I went to
and on the “Files” line clicked the download link.
I then copied tomcat-embed-core-8.0.38.jar into $INFORMIXDIR/nosql_sdk/lib
and added this to the classpath.
3. In order to get class com.ibm.nosql.server.ListenerCLI I also had to add ${INFORMIXDIR}/nosql_sdk/com.ibm.nosql.informix-1.2.2.jar to the classpath.
The final result was:
cat rest_listener_start.sh
#!/bin/sh
${INFORMIXDIR}/extend/krakatoa/jre/bin/java \
-cp ${INFORMIXDIR}/bin/jsonListener.jar:${INFORMIXDIR}/nosql_sdk/lib/tomcat-embed-core-8.0.38.jar:${INFORMIXDIR}/nosql_sdk/com.ibm.nosql.informix-1.2.2.jar \
com.ibm.nosql.server.ListenerCLI \
-config ${INFORMIXDIR}/etc/restListener.properties \
-logfile /work/martinfu/731/restListener.log \
-start &
exit
cat rest_listener_stop.sh
#!/bin/sh
${INFORMIXDIR}/extend/krakatoa/jre/bin/java \
-cp ${INFORMIXDIR}/bin/jsonListener.jar:${INFORMIXDIR}/nosql_sdk/lib/tomcat-embed-core-8.0.38.jar:${INFORMIXDIR}/nosql_sdk/com.ibm.nosql.informix-1.2.2.jar \
com.ibm.nosql.server.ListenerCLI \
-config ${INFORMIXDIR}/etc/restListener.properties \
-stop
exit
I hope this helps and am talking to IBM about the issues I found.

– Larger maximum tape size for backups TAPEDEV/LTAPEDEV 9 ZB
– Informix JDBC Driver now supports the Estonian and Lithuanian locale, et_ee
– Correlated aggregate expressions
– Control repreparation IFX_AUTO_REPREPARE new values
– Manipulate JSON and BSON data with SQL statements
– High availability for MongoDB and REST clients
– Wire listener configuration enhancements
– Wire listener query support, Join/Array queries on JSON data
– Enhanced account management through the wire listener,JSON lockAccount and unlockAccounts commands
– Load pure JSON documents into time series, TSL_PutJson
– Faster loading of time series data files
TSL_Put function can now contain JSON or BSON documents as values
for columns other than the primary key and time stamp columns
– Improved logging for the time series loader
You can choose to retrieve loader messages from a queue instead of logging the
messages in a message log file. Retrieving messages from a queue results in less
locking contention than logging messages in a file.
TSL_GetFmtMessage/TSL_GetLogMessage/TSL_MessageSet
– Create new time series while loading data,TSL_SetNewTS/TSCreateVirtualTab
– Display time series storage space usage,TSInfo
– View active time series loader sessions,TSL_ActiveHandles
– Analyze time series data for matches to patterns,TSPatternMatch/TSCreatePatternIndex
– Clip selected columns of time series data,ProjectedClip
– Track moving objects
The spatiotemporal search extension depends on the TimeSeries and spatial extensions.
You store the spatiotemporal data in a TimeSeries data type with columns for longitude and latitude.
You index and query the spatiotemporal data with the new spatiotemporal search functions.
You can also query spatiotemporal data with time series and spatial routines.
