Hi Praveen,

AS you'd be aware the MDM software is typically controlled using the Windows-based MDM Console, which provides functional capabilities within an interactive point-and-click environment.

By contrast, CLIX makes most operational MDM Console commands accessible via a command line interface and from within batch files, making it useful for scheduling and automating routine maintenance.

In addition, CLIX provides an added measure of security and consistency, since automated batch operation eliminates the potentially unrestricted access and the types of errors that may be introduced through a manual GUI interface.

Hi Praveen,

Features of Clix are,

1. The MDM Console Command Line Interface to MDM (CLIX) can be used to manage MDM and its repositories.

2. Unlike the console, CLIX is independent of the operating system, and can therefore run just as well under Linux and Solaris.

3. CLIX provides special commands, which can be executed through the CLIX command line. These commands can also be scheduled using scripts. The available commands enable you to perform most administrative tasks remotely.

4.CLIX provides a special command syntax, which can be broken down into four groups. There are individual commands for the control of the MDM Server, for management, and for the copying of repositories, along with commands related to the underlying database management system.

6. The general command syntax has the following structure:

CLIX Command_Name Arguments Control Flags

7. A command to control the MDM Console might look like this:

CLIX mdsStatus MDMHostSpec -T Seconds -D

This command provides general information about the repositories

currently loaded in the MDM Server. Additional examples, summaries of commands, and an overview of the optional flags are listed in the SAP MDM Console Reference Guide in the SAP Service Marketplace.

8. CLIX may not provide the full functionality of the console, but CLIX also offers certain functionality, which goes beyond the console's scope. Functions can be used which the console doesn't provide, particularly regarding MDM server commands, for instance, to parameters in the MDM server configuration file mds.ini.

Hope it may help you.

Hi Praveen,

MDM Clix commands are teh command line arguments used when we are not using Windows server .They used to perform the same functionas we used to do in MDM console.

IT can also be used to automate the process of archiving,unarchiving,start and stop of MDM services through command lind arguments.This are used mainly for admin purpose and making the back up process of repository automatic.
