Working with PSADMIN Exit Codes

The following table lists most PSADMIN command line options for the application server and Process Scheduler server and their return codes. This can provide insight into the return codes displayed when using PSADMIN from the command line or in scripts. In general, PSADMIN returns 0 for success and non-zero when an error occurs.

Note:

N/A indicates the command is not applicable to that server.
