# Apache Fineract CN data-jpa [![Build Status](https://api.travis-ci.com/apache/fineract-cn-data-jpa.svg?branch=develop)](https://travis-ci.com/apache/fineract-cn-data-jpa)

Data JPA provides easy access to tenant databases.

## Abstract
Apache Fineract CN is an application framework for digital financial services, a system to support nationwide and cross-national financial transactions and help to level and speed the creation of an inclusive, interconnected digital economy for every nation in the world.

## Prerequisites
### Runtime
Install Java 8 as described at https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/install/install_overview.html.

### Installation
#### PostgreSQL
Install PostgreSQL as described at https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-use-postgresql-on-ubuntu-16-04

After installation you need to connect to the default postgres database:

    sudo -i -u postgres psql
    
## Multi-tenancy
Multi-tenancy is reached by providing separate data storage on a per tenant basis.

For every tenant a new database instance is created internally. A tenant aware component provides transparent access to these resources.
