MDM 7.1 CLIX error

Former Member

Hi all,

I am using a batch file with CLIX to automate repository unload/archive and to stop an MDM 7.1 server.

Here is an excerpt of the batch code:

Echo.Stopping MDM Server...
Echo ********Stop MDM Server ********
CLIX mdsStop %MDMSERVER% %DBLOGIN%:%DBPASS%

where %MDMSERVER% is the server address; %DBLOGIN% is the Administrator User Name of the MDM server, and %DBPASS% is the password for the Administrator account.

However, when I execute this batch, it gives this error:

Error: 0xffab4010, The command issued is no longer supported

when it comes to the CLIX mdsStop line.

I have already looked in the MDM 7.1 Console Reference Guide, which explicitly shows that the statement IS CLIX mdsStop.

I have used this CLIX command in the past when I created a batch for an MDM 5.5 server, and it worked just fine there.

Now I am lost as to why this same command is not working in 7.1

All help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Bryce

The unsupported command problem has been solved, thank you Simon. However, now when I try to use the command icHalt, I get another error.

Stop of MDD Failed with error: 2147549185

Stop of -N Failed with error: 2147549185

Error: 0x80010001, Not found

According to the CLIX 7.1 command help, the command should be :

CLIX icHalt MdsHost UserId Password instance1 [-T] [-N]

The error is saying that stopping the specified instance (MDD) failed. However, to be sure that the DBMS instance is MDD, I used the mdsStatus command, and this is what it returned:

RepositName DBMSInstance DBT Port# RepType          Status
----------- ------------ --- ----- -------      -----------------------
GDS         MDD           O        Unknown      Needs Login
_______________________________________________________________________________

So I am sure that the instance is correct. I've been searching SDN and google for possible causes for both error: 2147549185 AND Error: 0x80010001, Not found but haven't found anything. If anyone is familiar with either of these two errors, or could help solve my problem with DBMS instance, I would be very grateful.

Thanks again,

Bryce

Hi Bryce,

MDD is the DBMS instance where repository GDS is persisted. Clix only manages MDM servers: MDS, MDIS, MDLS and MDSS.

Clix mdsStatus display mounted repositories, not the instance name of MDS.

Your MDS instance will be something like MDS00. To find MDS instance name, you can look at the directory where it is installed: for C:\usr\sap\OWL\MDS00\exe, MDS00 is the instance and OWL is the NetWeaver system.

Hope this helps,

Hi Simon,

Thanks for the reply. We actually have three instances in that directory MDIS01, MDS00, and MDSS02. I tried all of them with the CLIX command and still no-go. I still receive the same error. I double checked the MDShost name to be sure I was using the correct one, still nothing. I am going to keep trying to figure out this problem. If I figure it out, I will, of course, share it on the forum just in case someone else gets the same problem.

Thanks again for the replies!

Hi!

I am using the following commands in 7.1 without any problems:

Archive Repository: cpyArchive

Unload Repository: repUnload

Shutdown Server: icShutdown

Server Start: icStart

Repository Load: repLoad

Hi Bryce,

I am afraid Console Guide is out of date on mdsStop. Both mdsStop and mdsStart are not supported in 7.1 because all MDM servers are started and stopped in a different way, through the SAPStartSrv application.

In 7.1, mdsStop is replaced with icHalt:

CLIX icHalt MdsHost UserId Pass instance1 [instance2 ...] [-T 999] [-N]

Attempt to stop every instance provided (mds, mdis, mdss, etc).

Timeout is in seconds. If not provided, defaults to 60.

In syntax above, UserId and Pass are user id and password you pass to the Console when shutting MDM servers down.

CLIX icShutdown performs a hard shutdown of specified MDM instances.

CLIX build-in help is up-to-date. You can run clix i to get help on new startup/shutdown command.

I will alert people working on Guides.

Best regards,

Simon

Simon,

Thanks so much for your answer. I'm going to try to implement the icHalt command later when all of our users are off the server, and will update this thread as to if the problem is solved.

Again, thanks a lot for your help!
