The document tracking feature is configured as part of FES to track SBW events into the database running within the Enterprise Server.
Configuring SBW Database
By default, the tracked documents are set to be stored in the H2 database that runs inside the Enterprise Server. The section below illustrates how to configure an external database for Document Tracking before starting to track.
Configuring the SBW Manager properties in eStudio
To view or configure the database, perform the following actions on the Profile Management perspective:
Load the profile and navigate to FES > Fiorano > Esb > Sbw > SBWManager. The Properties of SBWManager dialog box on the right displays all the database properties along with their default values.
Select the required database from the Database Name property drop-down and modify values of other properties too accordingly.
Click the Save button or press CTRL+S to save the profile changes and restart the server.
Configuring SWB Database in Fiorano Dashboard
In the Fiorano Dashboard, go to Analytics > Document Tracking > Configuration > SBW Database, provide the database-specific values, click the Save button and restart the server.
Configuring SWB Database in Fiorano Classic Dashboard
In the left navigation panel, go to Document Tracking > SBW DB Configuration, provide the database-specific values, click the Save Configurations button and restart the server.

Points to Note
After configuring a profile to use some database, other than the default database, jdbc driver for that database needs to be added under <java.classpath> tag in server startup configuration file (either $FIORANO_HOME/esb/server/bin/server.conf or $FIORANO_HOME/esb/fes/bin/fes.conf, whichever is applicable) before starting Enterprise server.
Example- Use the same settings to connect to the DB when using a third-party tool. All the database queries used for retrieving workflow-related data are kept in the sbwdml.sql file.
- When using MS SQL for document tracking, mssql_jdbc.cfg may need to be configured according to the database driver being used. MSSql 2000 driver follows SQL 99 conventions which quote the SQLState string for table not found exception as 42S02. On the other hand, MSSQL 2005 driver follows XOPEN SQLState conventions which quote the same SQLState string as S0002. By default, all fes profiles are configured according to the standards followed by MSSql 2000 driver. If someone uses MSSql 2005 database or uses MSSql 2005 driver for MSSql 2000 (2005 driver is backward compatible with 2000 driver, hence it can be used), then the file has to be reconfigured accordingly.
For file-based databases like apache and HSQL, the default location is in the ESB_USER_DIR (which is set in fiorano_vars script). Provide the complete path with these variables resolved when using the JDBC URL in a third-party tool.
If the server is not connected, an error message saying "SBW DB has not been created" appears in the server console while restarting.
