## delete-resource-ref

removes a reference to a resource

Synopsis

    delete-resource-ref [--help] [--target target] reference_name

Description

The `delete-resource-ref` subcommand removes from a cluster or an unclustered server instance a reference to a resource (for example, a JDBC resource). This effectively results in the removal of the resource from the JNDI tree of the targeted 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 no longer load the resource in the JNDI tree the next time they start.

Removal of the reference does not result in removal of the resource from the domain. The resource is removed only by the `delete` subcommand for that resource (for example, `delete-jdbc-resource`).

This subcommand is supported in remote mode only.

Options

`--help`
`-?`

  Displays the help text for the subcommand.

`--target`

  Specifies the target from which you are removing the resource reference. Valid values are

  `server`

    Removes the resource reference from the default server instance `server` and is the default value.

  cluster_name

    Removes the resource reference from every server instance in the cluster.

  instance_name

    Removes the resource reference from the named unclustered server instance.

Operands

reference_name

  The name or JNDI name of the resource.
