WSO2 ESB comes with an embedded WSO2 Governance Registry which is used by the ESB to store configurations and other deployment artifacts. The embedded registry instance makes use of the embedded ESB database. This is an H2 database and the data files are by default stored in the directory named ESB_HOME/repository/database. If you are running the ESB in the embedded registry mode, you should be careful not to manually alter any files stored in this directory as that might lead to database corruption or data loss.

The embedded registry instance is configured by the registry.xml file which can be found in the ESB_HOME/repository/conf directory. In this configuration you could point the embedded registry to a database other than the default embedded H2 database. To change the database used by the registry or change the location of the database files, edit the following section of the registry.xml.

<dbconfig name="wso2registry">
	<url>jdbc:h2:database/WSO2CARBON_DB</url>
	<username>wso2carbon</username>
	<password>wso2carbon</password>
	<driverName>org.h2.Driver</driverName>
	<maxActive>50</maxActive>
	<maxWait>60000</maxWait>
	<minIdle>5</minIdle>
</dbconfig>

WSO2 Governance Registry can be run in two operational modes, namely the ReadWrite mode and the ReadOnly mode. By default, it operates in the ReadWrite mode. This mode is set by the following element in the registry.xml file.

<readOnly>false</readOnly>

When the registry ReadOnly mode is set to true the ESB will not be able to store resources or write values to the registry. It will be capable of reading the existing resources only. If you want to make sure that the ESB or any of the ESB administrators do not alter the resources already stored in the registry, this value should be set to true. Also in a clustered deployment it is recommended that the only one ESB instance accesses the registry in the ReadWrite mode. All other ESB nodes should be accessing the registry in the ReadOnly mode to prevent different ESB servers from modifying the same resources at the same time. Any configuration updates should be done via the ESB instance in ReadWrite mode.

In addition to configuring the database instance you can configure media type handlers for various media types and setup various registry related system parameters by modifying the registry.xml file. The default configuration defines the following parameters.

<staticConfiguration>
	<versioningProperties>true</versioningProperties>
	<versioningComments>true</versioningComments>
	<versioningTags>true</versioningTags>
	<versioningRatings>true</versioningRatings>
</staticConfiguration>

Please, refer WSO2 Governance Registry documentation for further information on setting up media type handlers and other global parameters.
