The Manager module WCS Manager is a subsystem that serves three purposes:
- Interaction with the web server of a developer
- Managing the server via the command line interface
- Store application settings
WCS Manager uses the built-in H2 database as a storage.
Aside from the built-in database, you can use an arbitrary database that has a JDBC driver, for example MySQL.
