Info

 You can view, edit, and delete the datasources in your product instance by clicking Data Sources in the Configure menu of the product management console. However, you cannot edit or delete the default <WSO2_CARBON_DB> datasource.

WSO2 DAS default datasources

The default RDBMS type datasources, which are shipped with WSO2 DAS are defined in the <DAS_HOME>/repository/conf/datsources/ directory as follows.

Master datasources

The WSO2_CARBON_DB master datasource, which is defined in the <DAS_HOME>/repository/conf/master-datasources.xml file is used to store data of registry and user manager of WSO2 DAS in a RDBMS.

Info

By default, this points to the in-built H2 database of the DAS. Replace the  url username password  and  driverClassName settings with your custom values and also the other values accordingly in the master-datasources.xml file as shown in the below example, to change the underlying RDBMS to which this datasource connects. For information on changing the underlying database type, see Working with Databases.

The datasource configuration options are as follows. For more information on these configuration properties, see Apache TomEE Documentation. 

Parameter
Description
<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 enter a negative value 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. You can enter zero or a negative value to wait indefinitely.
<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. 
<validationQuery>The 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>
The default auto-commit state of new connections.

Analytics datasources

Following analytics datasources are defined in the <DAS_HOME>/repository/conf/datsources/analytics-datasources.xml file. For more information on the usage and configuration of these datasources, see DAS Data Access Layer.

Datasource NameDescription
