Exit codes used in the command line

Last modified: September 6, 2024

An exit code is a status code that a command-line script returns. It indicates whether the execution was successful or if an error occurred. When a user runs the /findinvalidobjects or /formatsql command, the script may return the following exit codes:

Exit code	Description	Additional information
0	Success	The operation has been completed without errors.
1	Unhandled exception	Unhandled exception. See the log for more details.
10	Command line usage error	The command line was used incorrectly. For example, an incorrect flag or incorrect syntax may have been used.
11	Illegal argument duplication	Some arguments may not appear in a command line more than once. For example, /arg2 depends on /arg1 but you have specified /arg2 without specifying /arg1, or /arg2 cannot be used with /arg1, but you have used them both.
20	Trial expired	Software trial period has expired, or the product has not been activated.
40	Server connection fail	Server connection failed.
104	High-level parser error	High-level errors were encountered while parsing a scripts folder.
105	Resource unavailable	The file is missing.
