I am migrating the EAR application from JBoss AS 6 to Wildfly AS 8.2.0. While doing, I am facing a concern on implementing EJB timer service in Wildfly AS for the datasource TestSybaseDB defined in standalone-full-ha.xml.
FYI that below are the files related to JBoss AS 6 related to EJB3 timer service implementation for the datasource TestSybaseDB. In below files of JBoss 6 AS, datasource name is defined and I believe these changes are enough for implementation of EJB timer service in JBoss 6 AS for a database.
persistence.xml
path: ${JBOSS_HOME}\common\deploy\jboss-ejb3-timerservice-mk2.jar\META-INF\persistence.xml
<jta-data-source>java:/TestSybaseDB</jta-data-source>
ejb2-timer-service.xml
path: ${JBOSS_HOME}\server\default\deploy\ejb2-timer-service.xml
<depends>jboss.jdbc:datasource=TestSybaseDB,service=metadata</depends>
<depends optional-attribute-name="DataSource">jboss.jca:service=DataSourceBinding,name=TestSybaseDB</depends>
But to implement in Wildfly AS, I had converted the content of timer-sql.properties according to Sybase DB.
timer-sql.properties
path: ${JBOSS_HOME}\modules\system\layers\base\org\jboss\as\ejb3\main\timers\timer-sql.properties
create-table=CREATE TABLE JBOSS_EJB_TIMER (ID VARCHAR PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL, TIMED_OBJECT_ID VARCHAR NOT NULL, INITIAL_DATE DATETIME, REPEAT_INTERVAL BIGINT, NEXT_DATE DATETIME, PREVIOUS_RUN DATETIME, PRIMARY_KEY VARCHAR, INFO VARCHAR, TIMER_STATE VARCHAR, SCHEDULE_EXPR_SECOND VARCHAR, SCHEDULE_EXPR_MINUTE VARCHAR, SCHEDULE_EXPR_HOUR VARCHAR,SCHEDULE_EXPR_DAY_OF_WEEK VARCHAR, SCHEDULE_EXPR_DAY_OF_MONTH VARCHAR, SCHEDULE_EXPR_MONTH VARCHAR, SCHEDULE_EXPR_YEAR VARCHAR, SCHEDULE_EXPR_START_DATE VARCHAR, SCHEDULE_EXPR_END_DATE VARCHAR, SCHEDULE_EXPR_TIMEZONE VARCHAR, AUTO_TIMER SMALLINT, TIMEOUT_METHOD_NAME VARCHAR, TIMEOUT_METHOD_DECLARING_CLASS VARCHAR, TIMEOUT_METHOD_DESCRIPTOR VARCHAR, CALENDAR_TIMER SMALLINT, PARTITION_COL VARCHAR NOT NULL);

I am getting the below error:
Error

From the above error, I thought create-table in timer-sql.properties is causing the problem and hence, I tried removing it but getting the below error.

Could anyone please help me in resolving the error and configure EJB timer service for the datasource defined in Wildfly AS.
I think you can delete the last line of timer-sql.properties file. If the statements are working fine in the Sybase, it should work.
I've used this article and it work great for me. I'm using Postgres instead of Sybase
