## To use an external database with the Timer Service

The timer service by default uses an embedded database to store timers.

1. Set up a JDBC resource for the database, as described in To create a JDBC resource.

2. Enter the JNDI name of the resource in the Timer DataSource field.

3. Click Save.

4. Restart the Application Server.

   Sample timer database creation files are provided for PointBase and Oracle at install-dir`/lib/install/databases/`.
