Installing the DataSource in an OSGi container

Last updated: 8/28/2026

About this task

Once the corresponding JDBC driver installed in the Talend Runtime Container, type in the following command on the console:

feature:install tesb-datasource-<Database>

The corresponding DataSource will be installed into the container and a configuration file named org.talend.esb.datasource.<Database>.cfg will be created in the <Talend.runtime.dir>/container/etc folder.

For example, to install the Derby DataSource:

Procedure

Execute the following command:
```
feature:install tesb-datasource-derby
```
On the Talend Runtime Container console, execute the list command, you will find the installed bundles and configuration of Derby driver:
```
[225] [Active] [       ] [ ] [60] Apache Derby 10.8 (10.8.1000002.1095077)
[226] [Active] [Created] [ ] [60] Service Activity Monitoring :: Datasource-derby ()
```
The org.talend.esb.datasource.derby.cfg configuration file has been created into the <Talend.runtime.dir>/container/etc folder. In this configuration file, the Database settings can be configured dynamically. For example, the default properties of org.talend.esb.datasource.derby.cfg are:
```
datasource.server=localhost
datasource.port=1527
datasource.database=db
datasource.createdatabase=create
datasource.user=test
datasource.password=test
```
