Common Runtime and Configuration Artifacts¶
The following are the artifacts used commonly in a WSO2 API Manager deployment.
Info
Persistent runtime artifacts could be updated at the runtime, and are expected to be available across instance restarts, VM re-creation or container re-spawning. Persistent file storage systems should be used to ensure this.
Example: In a Kubernetes based container environment, its possible to use Persistent Volumes to persist these artifacts.
Persistent Runtime Artifacts¶
These are directories in API Manager that includes deployable files, which are valid from a specified date and time at runtime.
-
<API-M_HOME>/repository/deployment/server- Contains webapps that are related to customizing WSO2 API Manager during deployment. Required for deploying a super tenant. Also contains Synapse configurations and custom sequences, throttling execution plans. -
<API-M_HOME>/repository/tenants- This is only used when the deployment involves multi-tenancy. For more information, see Configuring Multiple Tenants. -
<API-M_HOME>/repository/database- H2 database (For solr indexing).
Info
Shared Artifacts
The following artifacts can be shared among API Manager nodes.
<API-M_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/userstores(Optional)<API-M_HOME>/repository/tenants
Persistent Configuration Artifacts¶
These are directories in API Manager where the configuration files are stored.
-
<API-M_HOME>/repository/resources- This folder/artifact contains keystores, templates, scripts, etc. -
<API-M_HOME>/repository/conf- This folder contains the configuration files related to servers, datasources, registry, user management, etc. -
<API-M_HOME>/bin- Contains files for JVM changes, profile changes, etc.
