Exit Codes

EPM Automate returns an exit code and message to indicate the status of the operation. Exit codes are grouped under five code numbers; each code may indicate many error conditions. Review the accompanying message to identify the specific condition that caused the error.

Additionally, EPM Automate creates a log file (COMMANDNAME_TIMESTAMP.log, for example, uploadfile_16_11_2016_11_27_10.log) for each failed command execution. Log files are created on the computer from which you run EPM Automate.
