titleBefore you begin

You need to set up the embedded Derby before following the steps to configure your product with Embedded Derby. For more information, see Setting up Embedded Derby. 

Setting up datasource configurations

...

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

Edit the default

...

datasource configuration in the <PRODUCT_HOME>/repository/conf/datasources/

...

master-datasources.xml file as shown below.

Code Block
languagehtml/xml
<datasource>
     <name>WSO2_CARBON_DB</name>
     <description>The datasource used for registry and user manager</description>
     <jndiConfig>
         <name>jdbc/WSO2CarbonDB</name>
     </jndiConfig>
     <definition type="RDBMS">
         <configuration>
               <url>jdbc:derby://localhost:1527/db;create=true</url>
               <username>regadmin</username>
               <password>regadmin</password>
               <driverClassName>org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver</driverClassName>
               <maxActive>80</maxActive>
               <maxWait>60000</maxWait>
               <minIdle>5</minIdle>
               <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:

ElementDescription
urlThe URL of the database. The default port for a DB2 instance is 50000.
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 should elapse (when there are no available connections in the pool) before the system throws 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. 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 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.

The following elements are available only as a WUM update and is effective from 14th September 2018 (2018-09-14).  For more information, see Updating WSO2 Products.
This WUM update is only applicable to Carbon 4.4.11 and will be shipped out-out-the-box with Carbon versions newer than Carbon 4.4.35. For more information on Carbon compatibility, see Release Matrix.

ElementDescription
commitOnReturnIf defaultAutoCommit=false, then you can set commitOnReturn=true, so that the pool can complete the transaction by calling the commit on the connection as it is returned to the pool. However, If rollbackOnReturn=true then this attribute is ignored. The default value is false.
rollbackOnReturnIf defaultAutoCommit=false, then you can set rollbackOnReturn=true so that the pool can terminate the transaction by calling rollback on the connection as it is returned to the pool. The default value is false.

connectionpool Configuring the connection pool behavior on return
When a database connection is returned to the pool, by default  the product rolls back the pending transactions if defaultAutoCommit=true . However, if required you can disable the latter mentioned default behavior by disabling the ConnectionRollbackOnReturnInterceptor, which is a JDBC-Pool JDBC interceptor, and setting the connection pool behavior on return via the datasource configurations by using the following options.

Disabling the ConnectionRollbackOnReturnInterceptor is only possible with the WUM update and is effective from 14th September 2018 (2018-09-14). For more information on updating WSO2 API Manager, see Updating WSO2 Products. This WUM update is only applicable to Carbon 4.4.11.

  • Configure the connection pool to commit pending transactions on connection return
    1. Navigate to either one of the following locations based on your OS.
      • On Linux/Mac OS:  <PRODUCT_HOME>/bin/wso2server.sh/
      • On Windows:  <PRODUCT_HOME>\bin\wso2server.bat 
    2. Add the following JVM option:

    3. Navigate to the <PRODUCT_HOME>/repository/conf/datasources/master-datasources.xml file.
    4. Disable the defaultAutoCommit by defining it as false.
    5. Add the commitOnReturn property and set it to true for all the datasources, including the custom datasources.

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


Multiexcerpt
MultiExcerptNameDsetup-dep
Deprecation of -DSetup

When proper Database Administrative (DBA) practices are followed, the systems (except analytics products) are not granted DDL (Data Definition) rights on the schema. Therefore, maintaining the -DSetup option is redundant and typically unusable. As a result, from January 2018 onwards WSO2 has deprecated the  -DSetup option. Note that the proper practice is for the DBA to run the DDL statements manually so that the DBA can examine and optimize any DDL statement (if necessary) based on the DBA best practices that are in place within the organization.

Info

The product is configured to run using an embedded Apache Derby database.

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.

Info

In contrast to setting up with remote Derby, when setting up with the embedded mode, set the database driver name (the driverClassName element) to org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver and the database URL (the url element) to the database directory location relative to the installation. In the above sample configuration, it is inside the <DERBY_HOME>/WSO2_CARBON_DB/ directory.
