=== Description
The `create-lifecycle-module` subcommand creates a lifecycle module. A
lifecycle module provides a means of running a short or long duration
Java-based task at a specific stage in the server life cycle. This
subcommand is supported in remote mode only.
[[sthref382]]
=== 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.
`--classname`::
This is the fully qualified name of the startup class.
`--target`::
Indicates the location where the lifecycle module is to be created.
Valid values are
* `server`- Specifies the default server instance as the target for
creating the lifecycle module. `server` is the name of the default
server instance and is the default value for this option.
* cluster_name- Specifies a particular cluster as the target for
creating the lifecycle module.
* instance_name- Specifies a particular stand-alone server instance as
the target for creating the lifecycle module.
`--classpath`::
This option indicates where the lifecycle module is located. It is a
classpath with the standard format: either colon-separated (Unix) or
semicolon-separated (Windows) JAR files and directories. The
referenced JAR files and directories are not uploaded to the server
instance.
`--loadorder`::
This option represents an integer value that can be used to force the
order in which deployed lifecycle modules are loaded at server
startup. Smaller numbered modules are loaded sooner. Order is
unspecified if two or more lifecycle modules have the same load-order
value. The default is `Integer.MAX_VALUE`, which means the lifecycle
module is loaded last.
`--failurefatal`::
This option tells the system what to do if the lifecycle module does
not load correctly. When this option is set to true, the system aborts
the server startup if this module does not load properly. The default
value is false.
`--enabled`::
This option determines whether the lifecycle module is enabled at
runtime. The default value is true.
`--description`::
This is the text description of the lifecycle module.
`--property`::
This is an optional attribute containing name/value pairs used to
configure the lifecycle module.
[[sthref383]]
=== Operands
module_name::
This operand is a unique identifier for the deployed server lifecycle
event listener module.

==== Example 1   Creating a Lifecycle Module

asadmin> create-lifecycle-module --classname "com.acme.CustomSetup"
--classpath "/export/customSetup" --loadorder 1 --failurefatal=true
--description "this is a sample customSetup"
--property rmi="Server\=acme1\:7070":timeout=30 customSetup
Command create-lifecycle-module executed successfully
----
The escape character `\` is used in the property option to specify that
the equal sign (=) and colon (:) are part of the `rmi` property value.
