Error number: MY-011338; Symbol: ER_XPLUGIN_FAILED_TO_EXECUTE_ADMIN_CMD; SQLSTATE: HY000
Message: Error executing admin command %s: %s
The MY-011338 error code (ER_XPLUGIN_FAILED_TO_EXECUTE_ADMIN_CMD) is a MySQL-specific error encountered when attempting to execute an administrative command for the X Plugin. This often happens when the plugin is not functioning properly, or if the rights are not available for executing the command. SQLSTATE HY000 informs that an unspecified error has occurred.
This issue usually occurs when a user attempts to execute an administrative command related to the X Plugin. It could also happened if the user has request privileges but the credentials provided lack sufficient permissions to connect and execute these specific commands.
The most common examples of triggers that can cause this error are trying to execute an X Plugin command when the plugin has failed to initialize properly (e.g., due to an expired license or an incorrect configuration setting), or attempting to authorize with credentials that don’t have sufficient permissions.
In order to troubleshoot the issue, there are a few possible solutions:
1. Verify that the plugin is configured properly. Pay attention to the size of the files, the folder where the plugin is located, and other similar configuration details.
2. Ensure that the credentials provided have the proper access rights to execute administrative commands.
3. Verify license information is valid. This is especially important if the plugin has an expiration date.
4. Attempt to execute the command using a different account, preferably one that has administrator privileges.
5. Update the plugin to the latest version if an older version or an outdated plugin is being used.
In some cases, the best solution is to simply uninstall the plugin and reinstall it to make sure that everything is configured and up-to-date properly.
