SQL Data Compare - 9.0
Exit codes used in the command line
If a task you are performing with the SQL Data Compare command line interface fails, and you do not see an error message explaining the reason for the failure, you may see one of the exit codes detailed below:
3 - Illegal argument duplication
Some arguments cannot be used more than once in a command line.
8 - Unsatisfied argument dependency
There is an unsatisfied argument dependency or violated exclusion when the command line is run. For example:
- /arg2 depends on /arg1 but you have specified /arg2 without specifying /arg1
- /arg2 cannot be used with /arg1 but you have used both
32 - Value out of range
The numeric value supplied for an argument is outside the range of valid values for that argument.
33 - Value overflow
The value supplied for an argument is too large.
34 - Invalid value
The value supplied for an argument is invalid.
35 - Invalid license
Software license or trial period has expired.
62 - High level parser error
SQL Data Compare encountered high level errors when parsing a scripts folder.
Use /ignoreParserErrors to force SQL Data Compare to continue without exiting.
63 - Databases identical
The databases being compared are identical or no objects have been included.
65 - Data error
Data required by SQL Data Compare is invalid or corrupt.
This often indicates that a constraint violation occurred while running the synchronization script. Check your schema to ensure that when you are migrating data you do not violate any constraints in the schema. You should either modify the data you are migrating, or change the SQL Data Compare command line options to resolve the problem.
69 - Resource unavailable
A resource or service required to run SQL Data Compare is unavailable.
73 - Failed to create report
The report was not created.
74 - I/O error
For example, this is returned if SQL Data Compare attempts to write to a file that already exists, and the /force switch has not been set.
77 - Insufficient Permission
The action cannot be completed because the user does not have the necessary permission.
