The default databases that WSO2 products use to store registry, user manager and product-specific data are the following H2 databases stored in the <PRODUCT_Home>/repository/database directory:
WSO2CARBON_DB.h2.db: used to store registry and user manager data.- RSS_DATABASE.ht.db: used to store RSS specific data.
These embedded H2 databases are suitable for development, testing, and some production environments.
