# JDBC Data Source Assistant --> Target the data source

Tasks Related Topics

## Overview

On this page, you select the servers and clusters on which you want to create and deploy the new data source. You should deploy the data source to the same servers and clusters on which the underlying connection pool is deployed. By default, the JDBC Data Source Assistant selects the deployment targets on which the underlying connection pool is deployed. In almost all cases, you should accept the default selections.

If only there is only one server in your configuration, the JDBC Data Source Assistant automatically selects it, and does not display a list of potential deployment targets.

After you select the servers and clusters on which you to create the connection pool, click the Create button. WebLogic Server adds the data source to the configuration (`config.xml`) and creates the data source on each server and cluster that you select.

If an error message is displayed, the data source configuration is saved even though the data source may not actually be created on all targets. You should check the server window (standard out) and the JDBC log for information to help you trouble-shoot problems. You can deploy the data source again from the data source property pages. See Deploying a JDBC Data Source to a Server or Cluster.
