Configuring Data Sources

In the Streaming Integrator, there are datasources specific to both the Streaming Integrator server and Streaming Integrator Tooling. The data sources of each runtime are defined in the <SI_HOME>|<SI_TOOLING_HOME>/conf/server/deployment.yaml file.

e.g., To configure a data source in the server runtime, the relevant configurations need to be added in the <SI_Home>/conf/server/deployment.yaml file.

To view a sample data source configuration for each database type supported, expand the following sections:

Info

If the database driver is not an OSGI bundle, then it should be converted to OSGI (using jartobundle.sh) before placing it in the <SI_HOME>|<SI_TOOLING_HOME>/lib directory. For detailed instructions,see Adding Third Party Non OSGi Libraries.

e.g., sh WSO2_SI_HOME/bin/jartobundle.sh ojdbc6.jar WSO2_SI_HOME/lib/

The database should be tuned to handle the total maxPoolSize (The maximum number of threads that should be reserved at any given time to handle events) that is defined in the deployment.yaml file.

** Parameter descriptions*

Parameter Description
name A unique name for the data source.
description A description of the data source.
type The database type to which the data source connects.
jdbcUrl The string used by the database driver to connect to the database.
username the username with which WSO2 Streaming Integrator accesses the database.
password The password with which WSO2 Streaming Integrator accesses the database.
driverClassName The name of the driver class that establishes the connection to the database.
minIdle The minimum number of active connections that can remain idle in the pool at a given time without extra connections being created. e.g., If you specify 2 as the value for this parameter, the system creates a new connection to the database only if the connection pool currently has only two or less active and idle connections.
maxPoolSize The maximum number of total connections that are allowed to exist in the connection pool at a given time.
idleTimeout The maximum duration of time (in milliseconds) for which the system allows a connection to the database to be idle before closing it.
connectionTestQuery The test query executed on the database to check the validity of the connection.
validationTimeout The maximum duration of time (in milliseconds) that is allowed between validation tests carried out for the database connection.
isAutoCommit If this parameter is set to true, each database query you perform during a single session is treated as a separate database transaction. As a result, the result of any query is visible to other database sessions soon after it is executed. If this parameter is set to true, the system considers the whole database session as a single transaction. Therefore, the reults of all the queries you execute within a single session are visible only after the session is over.

Oracle

There are two ways to configure this database type. If you have a System Identifier (SID), use this (older) format:

jdbc:oracle:thin:@[HOST][:PORT]:SID

wso2.datasources:
 dataSources:
     description: The datasource used for test database
     jndiConfig:
     definition:
       type: RDBMS
       configuration:
         jdbcUrl: jdbc:oracle:thin:@hostname:port:SID
         username: testdb
         password: root
         driverClassName: oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
         minIdle: 5
         maxPoolSize: 50
         idleTimeout: 60000
         connectionTestQuery: SELECT 1
         validationTimeout: 30000
         isAutoCommit: false

If you have an Oracle service name, use this (newer) format:

jdbc:oracle:thin:@//[HOST][:PORT]/SERVICE

wso2.datasources:
 dataSources:
     description: The datasource used for test database
     jndiConfig:
     definition:
       type: RDBMS
       configuration:
         jdbcUrl: jdbc:oracle:thin:@hostname:port/SERVICE
         username: testdb
         password: root
         driverClassName: oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
         minIdle: 5
         maxPoolSize: 50
         idleTimeout: 60000
         connectionTestQuery: SELECT 1
         validationTimeout: 30000
         isAutoCommit: false

The Oracle driver need to be converted to OSGi (using jartobundle.sh) before put into SI_HOME/lib directory. For detailed instructions, see Adding Third Party Non OSGi Libraries.

If you are using persisted aggregations, you can include the connectionInitSql parameter instead of connectionTestQuery as shown in the following sample configuration.

Sample datasource configuration -

 - name: TEST_DB
   description: The datasource used for test database
   jndiConfig:
     name: jdbc/TEST_DB
   definition:
     type: RDBMS
     configuration:
       jdbcUrl: jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521/ORCLCDB.localdomain
       username: <username>
       password: <password>
       driverClassName: oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
       minIdle: 5
       maxPoolSize: 50
       idleTimeout: 60000
       connectionInitSql: ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT='RRRR/fmMM/fmDD'
       validationTimeout: 30000
       isAutoCommit: false  
Parameter Description
name A unique name for the data source.
description A description of the data source.
type The database type to which the data source connects.
jdbcUrl The string used by the database driver to connect to the database.
username the username with which WSO2 Streaming Integrator accesses the database.
password The password with which WSO2 Streaming Integrator accesses the database.
driverClassName The name of the driver class that establishes the connection to the database.
minIdle The minimum number of active connections that can remain idle in the pool at a given time without extra connections being created. e.g., If you specify 2 as the value for this parameter, the system creates a new connection to the database only if the connection pool currently has only two or less active and idle connections.
maxPoolSize The maximum number of total connections that are allowed to exist in the connection pool at a given time.
idleTimeout The maximum duration of time (in milliseconds) for which the system allows a connection to the database to be idle before closing it.
connectionInitSql The test query executed on the database to check the validity of the connection. You can use this parameter instead of the connectionTestQuery parameter when you are using persisted aggregations. This is because when you use persisted aggregation with an Oracle database, the database connection session time format needs to be changed to RRRR/fmMM/fmDD. This is addressed when you use the connectionInitSql parameter.
connectionTestQuery The test query executed on the database to check the validity of the connection.
validationTimeout The maximum duration of time (in milliseconds) that is allowed between validation tests carried out for the database connection.
isAutoCommit If this parameter is set to true, each database query you perform during a single session is treated as a separate database transaction. As a result, the result of any query is visible to other database sessions soon after it is executed. If this parameter is set to true, the system considers the whole database session as a single transaction. Therefore, the reults of all the queries you execute within a single session are visible only after the session is over.

The following tables explain the default data sources configured in the Streaming Integrator components for different purposes, and how to change them.

RDBMS data provider

Database Access Requirement
The RDBMS provider publishes records from RDBMS tables into generated widgets. It can also be configured to purge records in tables. In order to carry out these actions, this provider requires access to read and delete records in user defined tables of the database. For more information about the RDBMS data provider, see Generating Widgets.
Required/Optional This is required if you select a datasource when generating the widget or use existing widgets that connect to the RDBMS data provider when you run the dashboard server for the Streaming Integrator.
Default Datasource Name SAMPLE_DB
Default Database The default H2 database location is <DASHBOARD_HOME>/wso2/dashboard/database/SAMPLE_DB.
Tables The default database shipped with a sample table named TRANSACTION_TABLE .
Schemas and Queries

The schema for the sample table is TRANSACTIONS_TABLE (creditCardNo VARCHAR(50), country VARCHAR(50), transaction VARCHAR(50), amount INT)

You can also view default schemas and queries .

Tested Database Types H2, MySQL, Postgres, Mssql, Oracle 11g

Carbon coordination

Database Access Requirement Carbon coordination supports zookeeper and RDBMS based coordination. In RDBMS coordination, database access is required for updating the heartbeats of the nodes. In addition, database access is required to update the coordinator and the other members in the cluster. For more information, see Configuring Cluster Coordination.
Required/Optional This is required. However, you can also use Zookeeper coordination instead of RDBMS.
Default Datasource Name WSO2_CARBON_DB

Streaming Integrator core - persistence

Database Access Requirement This involves persisting the state of Siddhi Applications periodically in the database. State persistence is enabled by selecting the org.wso2.carbon.stream.processor.core.persistence.DBPersistenceStore class in the state.persistence section of the <SI_Home>/conf/<server>/deployment.yaml file. For more information, see Configuring Database and File System State Persistence.
Required/Optional This is optional. WSO2 is configured to persist the state of Siddhi applications by default.
Default Datasource Name N/A. If state persistence is required, you need to configure the datasource in the <SI_Home>/conf/<server>/deployment.yaml file under state.persistence >config > datasource .
Tables N/A. If state persistence is required, you need to specify the table name to be used when persisting the state in the <SI_Home>/conf/<server>/deployment.yaml file under state.persistence > config > table .
