Connections are closed and removed from the pool and the pool dies when it has no 
remaining connections. Only the “system” user or users granted “admin” permission 
by an ACL associated with a connection pool can destroy the pool. 
Syntax
java weblogic.Admin [Connection and User Credentials Arguments] 
DESTROY_POOL poolName [true|false]
Example
In the following example, a user with the name adminuser and the password 
gumby1234 runs the DESTROY_POOL command temporarily freeze the active pool 
connections:
java weblogic.Admin -url localhost:7001 -username adminuser
 -password gumby1234 DESTROY_POOL myPool false
Argument Definition
poolName
Required. Unique name of pool. 
false
(soft shutdown)
Soft shutdown waits for connections to be returned to the pool 
before closing them.

Hard shutdown kills all connections immediately. Clients using 
connections from the pool get exceptions if they attempt to use a 
connection after a hard shutdown.
