MDM 7.1 CLIX error

Question

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

Answer 1

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
