Comment: removed configuration property db.name

...

Many of the database configurations are software-dependent. That is, it will be based on the choice of database software being used. Currently, DSpace properly supports PostgreSQL and Oracle.

Property:

Property:

db.name

Example Value:

db.name = postgres

Informational Note:

Both postgres or oracle are accepted parameters.

db.url

Example Value:

db.url = jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/dspace_-services

Informational Note:

The above value is the default value when configuring with PostgreSQL. When using Oracle, use this value: jbdc.oracle.thin:@//host:port/dspace

Property:

db.username

Example Value:

db.username = dspace

Informational Note:

In the installation directions, the administrator is instructed to create the user "dspace" who will own the database "dspace".

Property:

db.password

Example Value:

db.password = dspace5

Informational Note:

This is the password that was prompted during the installation process (cf. 3.2.3. Installation)

Property:

db.schema

Example Value:

db.schema = vra

Informational Note:

If your database contains multiple schemas, you can avoid problems with retrieving the definitions of duplicate objects by specifying the schema name here that is used for DSpace by uncommenting the entry. This property is optional.

Property:

db.maxconnections

Example Value:

db.maxconnections = 30

Informational Note:

Maximum number of Database connections in the connection pool

Property:

db.maxwait

Example Value:

db.maxwait = 5000

Informational Note:

Maximum time to wait before giving up if all connections in pool are busy (in milliseconds).

Property:

db.maxidle

Example Value:

db.maxidle = -1

Informational Note:

Maximum number of idle connections in pool. (-1 = unlimited)

Property:

db.statementpool

Example Value:

db.statementpool = true

Informational Note:

Determines if prepared statement should be cached. (Default is set to true)

Property:

db.poolname

Example Value:

db.poolname = dspacepool

Informational Note:

Specify a name for the connection pool. This is useful if you have multiple applications sharing Tomcat's database connection pool. If nothing is specified, it will default to 'dspacepool'

Property:db.jndi
Example Value:db.jndi = jdbc/dspace
Informational Note:Specify the name of a configured connection pool to be fetched from a directory using JNDI.  If this property is not configured or no such pool can be retrieved, then DSpace will fall back to creating its own pool using the other db.* properties.  db.name must still be specified.

DSpace Email Settings

The configuration of email is simple and provides a mechanism to alert the person(s) responsible for different features of the DSpace software.
