Summary
In Bamboo 7.2 HikariCP replaces C3p0 as database connection pool manager and the C3p0 properties in bamboo.cfg.xml are no longer used.
The old configuration will not be removed after the upgrade for historical reference.
Example of bamboo.cfg.xml after upgrade:
<application-configuration>
<setupStep>complete</setupStep>
<setupType>custom</setupType>
<buildNumber>80110</buildNumber>
<properties>
....
<property name="hibernate.c3p0.acquire_increment">3</property>
<property name="hibernate.c3p0.idle_test_period">30</property>
<property name="hibernate.c3p0.max_size">300</property>
<property name="hibernate.c3p0.max_statements">0</property>
<property name="hibernate.c3p0.min_size">30</property>
<property name="hibernate.c3p0.timeout">120</property>
......
<property name="hibernate.hikari.idleTimeout">120000</property>
<property name="hibernate.hikari.maximumPoolSize">300</property>
<property name="hibernate.hikari.minimumIdle">30</property>
<property name="hibernate.hikari.registerMbeans">true</property>
<property name="hibernate.setup">true</property>
......
</properties>
</application-configuration>
Environment
Bamboo upgraded from a version below 7.2 to 7.2 or above.
Solution
It's safe to remove all properties starting with hibernate.c3p0 after successful upgrade to 7.2 or higher.
