"Object label is ambiguous." error when using the wspmvdata command

I'm trying to use the Data Moving Service to send a file from my TMR server ('tmr' in this example), to some machines 'pc1' and 'pc2') using the following command:

wspmvdata -s tmr -t pc1,pc2 /tmp/Test.txt

However, I get the following error message:

FRWAE0134E Object label tmr. Matching objects are:
<list of matching objects>

You need to specify the types of objects in the command. Using the above as an example, the following command will work:

wspmvdata -s @ManagedNode:tmr -t @Endpoint:pc1,@Endpoint:pc2 /tmp/Test.txt

Make sure there are no spaces between the Endpoints when specifying multiple Endpoints.
 

"The specified profile manager was not found" message when creating the Data Moving Object

I'm trying to create the Data Moving Object in a Profile Manager named 'SWDist' by using the following command:

wspmvdata -p SWDist -A

but I get the following error:

DIS:SENG:0062
The specified profile manager 'SWDist' was not found

I've checked that 'SWDist' is a valid Profile Manager but the 'DataMovingRequests.1' object isn't created.

This error doesn't necessarily mean that the DataMovingRequests.1 object hasn't been created in your Profile Manager. Open the Profile Manager in question and from the 'View' menu select 'Refresh' - the DataMovingRequests.1 object may appear.

When using the wspmvdata command, you can use the '-A' switch on it's own (in which case the DataMovingRequests.1 object will be created in any valid Profile Manager), but you have to use the '-A' switch when using the '-p' switch to specify the Profile Manager the DataMovingRequests.1 object should be created in.
