3. You can create a database and the login role from a GUI using the PGAdminIII tool: http://www.pgadmin.org/download.

4. To connect PGAdminIII to a PostgreSQL database server, locate the server from the object browser, right-click the client, and click "Connect." This will show you the databases, tablespaces, and login roles. For example,

Setup Configuration Files

1. Edit the default database configuration defined in the  master-datasources.xml  file located at  $CARBON_HOME/repository/conf/datasources  directory as follows. Both the database configurations in  registry.xml  and  user-mgt.xml  refer this data source. 

<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:postgresql://localhost:5432/gregdb</url>
                <username>regadmin</userame>
                <password>regadmin</password>
                <driverClassName>org.postgresql.Driver</driverClassName>
                <maxActive>80</maxActive>
                <maxWait>60000</maxWait>
                <minIdle>5</minIdle>
                <testOnBorrow>true</testOnBorrow>
                <validationQuery>SELECT 1</validationQuery>
                <validationInterval>30000</validationInterval>
           </configuration>
       </definition>
</datasource>

The database configuration options

• url - The URL of the database.
• username - The name of the database user.
• password - The password of the database user.
• driverClassName - The class name of the database driver.
• maxActive - The maximum number of active connections that can be allocated from this pool at the same time or negative for no limit.
• maxWait - The 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 or <= 0 to wait indefinitely.
• minIdle - The minimum number of active connections that can remain idle in the pool, without extra ones being created, or 0 to create none.

Setup Drivers

1. Download the PostgreSQL JDBC4 driver from http://jdbc.postgresql.org/download.html.

2. Place the driver in the PRODUCT_HOME/repository/components/lib directory. Here, $CARBON_HOME refers to the directory where you are running the product instance.

Create Database

1. The first time you start the Carbon server, run it with the -Dsetup option. It will create all the tables in the given PostgreSQL database.

• For Linux:

  Code Block
  wso2server.sh -Dsetup

• For Windows:

  Code Block
  wso2server.bat -Dsetup

2. The product is now configured to run with PostgreSQL database.
