7.3. Editing the JBoss ON Server's Database Configuration
The JBoss ON server is always connected to a backend database to store most of its data, such as agents and resources in its inventory and plug-in configuration. The parameters for connecting with the database are defined in
rhq-server.properties.
Example 7. Default Configuration for a PostgreSQL Database
# Database rhq.server.database.connection-url=jdbc:postgresql://127.0.0.1:5432/rhq rhq.server.database.driver-class=org.postgresql.Driver rhq.server.database.xa-datasource-class=org.postgresql.xa.PGXADataSource rhq.server.database.user-name=rhqadmin rhq.server.database.password=1eeb2f255e832171df8592078de921bc rhq.server.database.type-mapping=PostgreSQL rhq.server.database.server-name=127.0.0.1 rhq.server.database.port=5432 rhq.server.database.db-name=rhq hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| rhq.server.database.type-mapping | Gives the type or vendor of the database that is used by the JBoss ON server. This is either PostgreSQL or Oracle. |
| rhq.server.database.connection-url | The JDBC URL that the JBoss ON server uses when connecting to the database, such as jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/rhq or jdbc:oracle:oci:@localhost:1521:orcl. |
| rhq.server.database.driver-class | The fully qualified class name of the JDBC driver that the JBoss ON server uses to communicate with the database, such as oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver. |
| rhq.server.database.xa-datasource-class | The fully qualified class name of the JDBC driver that the JBoss ON server uses to communicate with the database, such as org.postgresql.xa.PGXADataSource or oracle.jdbc.xa.client.OracleXADatasource. |
| rhq.server.database.user-name | The name of the user that the JBoss ON server uses when logging into the database. |
| rhq.server.database.password | The password of the database user that is used by the JBoss ON server when logging into the database. This password is stored in a hash in the rhq-server.properties file. When the password is changed in the database, then the password must be manually hashed and copied into the rhq-server.properties file. This is described in Section 7.2, “Changing Database Passwords”. |
| rhq.server.database.server-name | The server name where the database is found. This must match the server in the connection URL. This is currently only used when connecting to PostgreSQL. |
| rhq.server.database.port | The port on which the database is listening. This must match the port in the connection URL. This is currently only used when connecting to PostgreSQL. |
| rhq.server.database.db-name | The name of the database. This must match the name found in the connection URL. This is currently only used when connecting to PostgreSQL. |
| rhq.server.quartz.driverDelegateClass | The Quartz driver used for connections between the server and the database. The value of this is set by the installer and depends on the type of database used to store the JBoss ON information. For PostgreSQL, this is org.quartz.impl.jdbcjobstore.PostgreSQLDelegate, and for Oracle, this is org.quartz.impl.jdbcjobstore.oracle.OracleDelegate. |
