To return expected results, you can:

  • Reduce the number of search terms. Each term you use focuses the search further.
  • Check your spelling. A single misspelled or incorrectly typed term can change your result.
  • Try substituting synonyms for your original terms. For example, instead of searching for "java classes", try "java training"
  • Did you search for an IBM acquired or sold product ? If so, follow the appropriate link below to find the content you need.
  • Symptom

    Informix may create temporary files in the profiles directory of the Application Server environment having format IfxTmpFile_ xxxx or Ifxb_ xxxx , where xxxx is a numerical value. In the event Informix cannot find or open these temporary files, the following exception will appear in the WebSphere Application Server logs:

    java.sql.SQLException: Blob not found

    The nested exception (For example; the exception indicated after "Caused by:") can vary based on JDK version, whether the directory containing the temporary files exists, or whether Java 2 Security is enabled, for example:

    Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: System or internal error java.lang.SecurityException: Unable to create temporary file
    Caused by: java.security.PrivilegedActionException: java.io.IOException: No such file or directory
    Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: System or internal error java.security.PrivilegedActionException: java.io.IOException: Permission denied

    Cause

    Informix creates IfxTmpFile_ xxxxx and Ifxb_ xxxx files as temporary storage for CLOB and BLOB data types. These files, by default, are placed in the <InstallRoot> /profiles directory by Informix. Informix may fail with the exceptions above when accessing these temporary files in the default directory due to restrictive Java 2 Security file access permission or changes to either the Informix temporary files or the <InstallRoot> /profiles directory (where <InstallRoot> is the directory where you installed WebSphere Application Server).

    Resolving The Problem

    Specify a specific directory for Informix's temporary files by opening the data source on the WebSphere Administrative Console; then open the link for the data source custom properties; create a new custom property called ifxJDBCTEMP for your Informix data source. The value for the ifxJDBCTEMP property must be set to an absolute path name (For example; c:\temp or \opt\temp).
    For more information on how to configure or change a data source, see the WebSphere Information Center section, WebSphere Application Server data source properties .
    For more information on custom properties, see the WebSphere Information Center section Custom property collection
