What is it?

Reference for UNIX SMAFT exit codes returned by the Unix Agent and Server during SMA file transfer operations.

File transfer errors received by STDOUT/STDERR may be viewed in the Enterprise Manager's Job Output Retrieval System (JORS). The messages in this section are output by the UNIX Agent and Server; messages output by a non-UNIX Agent or Server will be different, and you is referred to the documentation for the appropriate agent.

• A transfer fails with an encryption, compression, network, or file operation error and you need to confirm the corresponding exit code.
• You need to distinguish a successful transfer (exit code 0) from a specific failure category.
