Carbon Data Sources

First, we need to create a data source using the instructions given in section Datasources . Once a data source is created, follow the instructions below to create a data service using the created data source.

Make sure that the JDBC driver is copied to:

• <PRODUCT_HOME>/repository/components/lib directory
• <PRODUCT_HOME>/repository/components/dropins

For example, cp mysql-connector-java-5.XX-bin.jar /home/user/wso2ds/wso2-dataservices-XX/repository/components/lib.

1. Log on to the product's management console and select   "Data Service -> Create" under the "Main" menu.

6. You will be navigated to the "Deployed Services" page .

From here, you can manage your data service. For instructions, refer to section Managing Data Services.
