  • Branch versioning is not supported.
  • Feature binning is not supported.

Cloud support

See Requirements for using ArcGIS with databases in the cloud for information on support for database services and databases deployed in the cloud.

Software required to connect to a DBMS

Any client machines (such as ArcGIS Server or ArcMap) that connect to Informix must have the Informix database client installed.
