You need to set up IBM Informix before following the steps to configure your product with it. For more information, see  Setting up IBM Informix .

Setting up datasource configurations

A datasource is used to establish the connection to a database. By default, WSO2_CARBON_DB datasource is used to connect to the default  H2 database, which stores registry and user management data. After setting up the IBM Informix database to replace the default H2 database, either change the default configurations of the WSO2_CARBON_DB datasource, or configure a new datasource to point it to the new database as explained below.

Changing the default WSO2_CARBON_DB datasource

Follow the steps below to change the type of the default WSO2_CARBON_DB datasource.

  1. Edit the default datasourceconfigurationin the <PRODUCT_HOME>/repository/conf/datasources/m aster-datasources.xml file as shown below.

    Code Block
    languagexml
    <datasource>
                <name>WSO2AM_DB</name>
                <description>The datasource used for API Manager database</description>
                <jndiConfig>
                    <name>jdbc/WSO2AM_DB</name>
                </jndiConfig>
                <definition type="RDBMS">
                    <configuration>
                        <!-- IP ADDRESS AND PORT OF DB SERVER -->
                        <url>jdbc:informix-sqli://localhost:1533/AM_DB;CLIENT_LOCALE=en_US.utf8;DB_LOCALE=en_us.utf8;IFX_USE_STRENC=true;</url>
                        <username>wso2carbon</username>
                        <password>wso2carbon</password>
                        <driverClassName>com.informix.jdbc.IfxDriver</driverClassName>
                        <maxActive>50</maxActive>
                        <maxWait>60000</maxWait>
                        <testOnBorrow>true</testOnBorrow>
                        <validationQuery>SELECT 1</validationQuery>
                        <validationInterval>30000</validationInterval>
    					<defaultAutoCommit>false</defaultAutoCommit>
                    </configuration>
                </definition>
            </datasource>

    The elements in the above configuration are described below:

     is
    ElementDescription
    url

    The URL of the database. The default port for a DB2 instance is 50000.

    You need to add the following configuration when specifying the connection URL as shown in the example above:

    Tip

    Add the following configuration to the connection URL when specifying it as shown in the example above: CLIENT_LOCALE=en_US.utf8;DB_LOCALE=en_us.utf8;IFX_USE_STRENC=true;

    username and passwordThe name and password of the database user
    driverClassNameThe class name of the database driver
    maxActiveThe maximum number of active connections that can be allocated  at the same time from this pool. Enter any negative value to denote an unlimited number of active connections.
    maxWaitThe maximum number of milliseconds that the pool will wait (when there are no available connections) for a connection to be returned before throwing an exception. You can enter zero or a negative value to wait indefinitely.
    minIdleThe minimum number of active connections that can remain idle in the pool without extra ones being created, or enter zero to create none.

    testOnBorrow  

    The indication of whether objects will be validated before being borrowed from the pool. If the object fails to validate, it will be dropped from the pool, and another attempt will be made to borrow another.
    validationQueryThe SQL query that will be used to validate connections from this pool before returning them to the caller.
    validationIntervalThe indication to avoid excess validation, and only run validation at the most, at this frequency (time in milliseconds). If a connection is due for validation but has been validated previously within this interval, it will not be validated again.
    defaultAutoCommit

    This property is not applicable to the Carbon database in WSO2 products because auto committing is usually handled at the code level, i.e., the default auto commit configuration specified for the RDBMS driver will be effective instead of this property element. Typically, auto committing is enabled for RDBMS drivers by default.

    When auto committing

    When auto committing is enabled, each SQL statement will be committed to the database as an individual transaction, as opposed to committing multiple statements as a single transaction.

    Info

    For more information on other parameters that can be defined in the <PRODUCT_HOME>/repository/conf/datasources/master-datasources.xml file, see Tomcat JDBC Connection Pool.

Configuring new  datasources new  datasources to manage registry or user management data

Follow the steps below to configure new datasources to point to the new  databases the new databases you create to manage registry and/or user management data separately.

  1. Add a new datasource with similar configurations as the WSO2_CARBON_DB datasource above to the <PRODUCT_HOME>/repository/conf/datasources/ master-datasources.xml file. Change its elements with your custom values. For instructions, see Setting up datasource configurations.
  2. If you are setting up a separate database to store registry-related data, update the following configurations in the <PRODUCT_HOME>/repository/conf/ registry.xml file.

    Code Block
    languagexml
    <dbConfig name="wso2registry">
    	<dataSource>jdbc/MY_DATASOURCE_NAME</dataSource>
    </dbConfig>
  3. If you are setting up a separate database to store user management data, update the following configurations in the <PRODUCT_HOME>/repository/conf/ user-mgt.xml file.

    Code Block
    languagexml
    <Configuration>
    	<Property name="dataSource">jdbc/MY_DATASOURCE_NAME</Property>
    </Configuration>

...

  1. To create tables in the registry and user manager database (WSO2CARBON_DB ), use the below script:

    Code Block
    <PRODUCT_HOME>/dbscripts/informix.sql
  2. Restart the server.

    Info

    You can create database tables automatically when starting the product for the first time by using the -Dsetup parameter as follows:

    • For Windows: <PRODUCT_HOME>/bin/wso2server.bat -Dsetup

    • For Linux: <PRODUCT_HOME>/bin/wso2server.sh -Dsetup

Note to writers: Add this content at the end of the page if any of the additional databases is relevant to your product.

Changing the identity/storage/product-specific databases

The topics above show how to change the WSO2_CARBON_DB, which is used to store registry and user manager information. If you changed the product-specific database that come by default or set up a separate database for identity or storage related data, the instructions are the same. In summary:

  1. Add a new datasource configuration to the following files for each of the separate databases that you need to create.

    For the identity databaseAdd it to the <PRODUCT_HOME>/repository/conf/datasources/<check the correct path and add file name (something like master-datasources.xml)>
    For the storage databaseAdd it to the <PRODUCT_HOME>/repository/conf/datasources/<check the correct path and add file name (something like master-datasources.xml)
    For the product-specific databaseAdd it to the <PRODUCT_HOME>/repository/conf/><check the correct path and add file name (something like api-manager.xml)
  2. Create the database tables using the following scripts:

    For the identity databaseUse <PRODUCT_HOME>/dbscripts/identity/<check the correct path and add file name (something like mysql.sql)>
    For the storage databaseUse <PRODUCT_HOME>/dbscripts/storage/<check the correct path and add file name (something like /mysql/resoucre.sql)>
    For the product-specific databaseUse  <PRODUCT_HOME>/dbscripts/<check the correct path and add file name (something like /apimgt/mysql.sql)> 
  3. Update the following configurations, with the defined datasource name of the corresponding database configuration you added to the <PRODUCT_HOME>/repository/conf/datasources/master-datasources.xml file.

    • If you are setting up a separate database to store identity related data, update the following configurations in the <PRODUCT_HOME>/repository/conf/identity.xml file.

      Code Block
      languagexml
      <JDBCPersistenceManager>
      	<DataSource>
      		<!-- Include a data source name (jndiConfigName) from the set of datasources defined in master-datasources.xml -->
      		<Name>jdbc/WSO2CarbonDB</Name>
      	</DataSource>
      </JDBCPersistenceManager>

      Note to writers: For step 3, add content on the XML files which include references on any of the additional databases and require edits that are relevant to your product similar to the given example.
