Use the following steps to add a datasource:
In the product management console, click Data Sources on the Configure tab.
Click Add Data Source.

After adding datasources, they will appear on the Data Sources page. You can edit and delete them as needed by clicking Edit or Delete links.
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.
