## create-resource-ref

creates a reference to a resource

Synopsis

    create-resource-ref [--help] [--target target]
    [--enabled={false|true}] reference_name

Description

The `create-resource-ref` subcommand creates a reference from a cluster or an unclustered server instance to a previously created resource, for example, a JDBC resource created by using the `create-jdbc-resource` subcommand. This effectively results in the resource being made available in the JNDI tree of the instance or cluster.

The target instance or instances making up the cluster need not be running or available for this subcommand to succeed. If one or more instances are not available, they will receive the new resource the next time they start.

Note:

A `resource-ref` can only be created for bindable resources, such as a `jdbc-resource`, `connector-resource`, `admin-object-resource`, `mail-resource`, `custom-resource`, or `jndi-resource`.

A `jdbc-connection-pool` or a `connector-connection-pool` are not referred to directly by applications. Instead, they are referred to through a `jdbc-resource` or `connector-resource`, respectively.

This subcommand is supported in remote mode only.

Options

`--help`
`-?`

  Displays the help text for the subcommand.

`--target`

  Specifies the target for which you are creating the resource reference. Valid targets are as follows:

  `server`

    Creates the resource reference for the default server instance. This is the default target.

  cluster_name

    Creates the resource reference for every server instance in the cluster.

  instance_name

    Creates the resource reference for the named unclustered server instance.

`--enabled`

  Indicates whether the resource should be enabled. This value will take effect only if the resource is enabled at the global level. The default is `true`.

Operands

reference_name

  The name or JNDI name of the resource.
