COMMAND NAMES

Each command_name begins with a prefix representing one of the four

groups to which it belongs (and the command short name begins with

the corresponding letter), as shown in Table 108.

Table 108. CLIX Command Groups

NOTE ►► CLIX with no command displays a general help message;

a command prefix/letter with no arguments displays help on that group.

ARGUMENTS

Except for help commands, the first argument is always an

MDMHostSpec, comprised of the machine hostname or IP address on

which the MDM Server runs, optionally followed by a colon and a

password (e.g. myMDMHostName:MDMPassword)

Several commands also take a DBMSHostSpec, comprised of a DBMS

instance name, type, username and password, all separated by colons

or semi-colons, where type is either ‘S’ (SQL Server), ‘O’ (Oracle), ‘M’

(MaxDB), ‘D’ (DB2), ‘I’ (DB2 on i5/OS), or ‘Z’ (DB2 on z/OS) as in the

following examples:

OraSvr1:o:ellisonsys:larry

[left off empty password]

Several commands also require a RepositorySpec, comprised of the

repository name followed by a colon and the DBMSHostSpec, as in the

following examples:

Tools0704:OraSvr1:o:ellisonsystem:larry

"Consumer Appliances:BILLYGATESBOX:s:sa"

TIP ►► If the MDM repository name has spaces, place the entire

RepositorySpec in quotes.
