Changing to IBM DB2

This site contains the documentation that is relevant to older WSO2 product versions and offerings.

Changing to IBM DB2

The following sections describe how to replace the default H2 database with IBM DB2: 

Before you begin

 You need to set up IBM DB2 before following the steps to configure your product with it. For more information, see  Setting up IBM DB2 .  

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 DB2 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.

    <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:db2://SERVER_NAME:PORT/<DB_NAME>:currentSchema=<SCHEMA_NAME>;</url> <username>regadmin</username> <password>regadmin</password> <driverClassName>com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver</driverClassName> <maxActive>80</maxActive> <maxWait>360000</maxWait> <minIdle>5</minIdle> <testOnBorrow>true</testOnBorrow> <validationQuery>SELECT 1 FROM sysibm.sysdummy1</validationQuery> <validationInterval>30000</validationInterval> <defaultAutoCommit>false</defaultAutoCommit> </configuration> </definition> </datasource>

    The elements in the above configuration are described below:

Configuring new  datasources to manage registry or user management data

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

  1. Add a new datasourcewithsimilar 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.

    <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.

    <Configuration> <Property name="dataSource">jdbc/MY_DATASOURCE_NAME</Property> </Configuration>

Creating database tables

To create the database tables, connect to the database that you created earlier and run the following scripts in the DB2 Express-C command editor.

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

    <PRODUCT_HOME>/dbscripts/db2.sql
  2. Restart the server.

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
