Tip

You can configure data sources using either of the methods or both. For instance, use a data source profile while testing or for low-use scenarios, then switch to a server - based data source for long-term use.

...

The data source is referenced using the dataSource (data source name) parameter. The exact configuration of a data source is specific to a database and application server. A Confluence administrator must set up the configuration, and the Confluence application server must be restarted for changes to take effect. The configuration must be done very carefully as any errors in doing so, will render the data source unusable. Each database that is accessed in Confluence requires a data source configuration.
