=== Description

The `create-jdbc-resource` subcommand creates a new JDBC resource.

This subcommand is supported in remote mode only.

[[sthref330]]

=== Options

asadmin-options::
  Options for the `asadmin` utility. For information about these
  options, see the link:asadmin.html#asadmin-1m[`asadmin`(1M)] help page.
`--help`::
`-?`::
  Displays the help text for the subcommand.
`--connectionpoolid`::
  The name of the JDBC connection pool. If two or more JDBC resource
  elements point to the same connection pool element, they use the same
  pool connection at runtime.
`--enabled`::
  Determines whether the JDBC resource is enabled at runtime. The
  default value is true.
`--description`::
  Text providing descriptive details about the JDBC resource.
`--property`::
  Optional attribute name/value pairs for configuring the resource.
`--target`::
  This option helps specify the target to which you are deploying. Valid
  values are:

  `server`;;
    Deploys the component to the default server instance. This is the
    default value.
  `domain`;;
    Deploys the component to the domain.
  cluster_name;;
    Deploys the component to every server instance in the cluster.
  instance_name;;
    Deploys the component to a particular server instance.

[NOTE]
====
The resource is always created for the domain as a whole, but the
`resource-ref` for the resource is only created for the specified
`--target`. This means that although the resource is defined at the
domain level, it is only available at the specified target level. Use
the `create-resource-ref` subcommand to refer to the resource in
multiple targets if needed.
