Installing and configuring a database for Edge Flow Manager
Learn how to install a database and configure it with your Edge Flow Manager to manage, control, and monitor dataflows.
By default, Edge Flow Manager is preconfigured with an embedded H2 database. But when setting up Edge Flow Management, you have the option to install and configure an external MySQL or PostgreSQL database to use with Edge Flow Manager.
The H2 database that is preconfigured in the default efm.properties file. The contents of the embedded H2 database are stored in a file on your local file system. The H2 database location is specified by he JDBC URL property: Cloudera Edge Management JDBC URL (efm.db.url) – jdbc:h2:./database/efm
If you plan to use the embedded H2 database, you can skip the steps for installing and configuring an external database. Alternatively, you can install an external MySQL or PostgreSQL database. To proceed with external database installation, review the following steps.
