DBQuery resource adaptor entities
The Sentinel installer creates a DBQuery resource adaptor entity called dbquery-0. The dbquery-0 resource adaptor entity is configured to connect to a local relational database.
|
See the DBQuery RA documentation for more about the DBQuery RA. |
DBQuery database type
Before installing Sentinel, you can configure the DBQuery RA database type by adding the db.type property to sdk.properties or sdk.local.properties.
Valid options for this property are postgres, oracle, and timesten. The Sentinel installation process compiles the DBQuery RA with the appropriate JDBC driver for that db.type.
Many features provided with Sentinel, and new features developed with the Sentinel SDK, may use the DBQuery resource adaptor.
Features that may use the DBQuery resource adaptor
The following features provided with Sentinel may be configured to use the DBQuery resource adaptor:
-
Scripted Promotions Feature — may be configured to use a database to store the promotions buckets
