D.1.5 The You Name It option

In most cases, each WSAdmin Automation Platform function’s option is related to

one config object attribute. For instance, the option -classpath in

createJDBCProvider command is related to the JDBCProvider's classpath

attribute. The

You Name It option is used when you cannot find a predefined

option that corresponds to a config object attribute. Suppose you want to create a

JDBCProvider. The create JDBCProvider function does not provide the option

-description, and description is a JDBCProvider attribute. To set a

JDBCProvider description you use the You Name It capability by typing

-description <description value>. WSAdmin Automation Platform will try to

match the option with a config object attribute. If the attribute is not found an error

is returned.

To list all attributes of a specific config object, type listAttr <ConifgObject>. For

instance, listAttr JDBCProvider returns the output in Example D-16.
