> Column Display Related Tasks Related Topics

> This page lists foreign JNDI providers that have been created in this domain partition.

> For foreign JNDI providers that are scoped to a resource group template, you cannot edit them at the partition or resource group level. The properties of these resources apply to the entire domain. To edit these resources, expand the Services node in the Domain Structure pane, then select the resource you want to edit. Changes to any properties apply to the entire domain.

> NOTE: WebLogic Server Multitenant domain partitions, resource groups, resource group templates, and virtual targets are deprecated in WebLogic Server 12.2.1.4.0. The related Console and help pages will be removed in the next release.

> Note that you cannot create Foreign JNDI providers from this page. When creating them in the normal way, set the scope to the resource group and partition to which you want the provider to be available. The provider will then be listed on this page.
