specify a database schema for activiti-5.12.1 tables - postgresql

Question

I am going to use activiti-5.12.1, in my project.
here is the activiti.cfg.xml file:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd">
<bean id="processEngineConfiguration" class="org.activiti.engine.impl.cfg.StandaloneProcessEngineConfiguration" >
<property name="databaseType" value="postgres" />
<property name="jdbcUrl" value="jdbc:postgresql://project:5432/MYPROJECT" />
<property name="jdbcDriver" value="org.postgresql.Driver" />
<property name="jdbcUsername" value="me" />
<property name="jdbcPassword" value="you" />
<property name="databaseSchemaUpdate" value="false" />
<property name="jobExecutorActivate" value="false" />
<property name="history" value="full" />
<property name="customPreVariableTypes">
<list>
<ref bean="activitiScriptNodeType" />
<ref bean="activitiScriptNodeListType" />
</list>
</property>
<property name="mailServerHost" value="mail.my-corp.com" />
<property name="mailServerPort" value="5025" />
</bean>
</beans>
I want to create activiti database on my own, by using the scripts which are available in activiti-engine-5.12.1.jar.
By default, the tables are created in public schema, but I want them to be in another schema like mySchema for example.
my questioin is how can I manage this, besides, how can I specify this in activiti.cfg.xml, to inform activiti engine api that activiti tables are in mySchema?

Answer 1

I am using MySQL database for activiti, so i have got some configuration like this to creat my own schema name :
<property name="databaseType" value="mysql" />
<property name="jdbcUrl" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/activiti" />
<property name="jdbcDriver" value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" />
<property name="jdbcUsername" value="root" />
<property name="jdbcPassword" value="root" />
So as you using postgresql, i am not quite sure about whether the following code will work for you or not :
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd">
<bean id="processEngineConfiguration" class="org.activiti.engine.impl.cfg.StandaloneProcessEngineConfiguration" >
<property name="databaseType" value="postgres" />
<property name="jdbcUrl" value="jdbc:postgresql://project:5432/MYPROJECT/activiti" />
<property name="jdbcDriver" value="org.postgresql.Driver" />
<property name="jdbcUsername" value="me" />
<property name="jdbcPassword" value="you" />
<property name="databaseSchemaUpdate" value="false" />
<property name="jobExecutorActivate" value="false" />
<property name="history" value="full" />
<property name="customPreVariableTypes">
<list>
<ref bean="activitiScriptNodeType" />
<ref bean="activitiScriptNodeListType" />
</list>
</property>
<property name="mailServerHost" value="mail.my-corp.com" />
<property name="mailServerPort" value="5025" />
</bean>
Before deploying `activiti with new changes, mke sure that your database has the schema created.

Answer 2

Try changing the database's type to your database's name or "postgresql".

Answer 3

If you are using spring the below property helps:
spring.activiti.databaseSchema=MY_SCHEMA
