FileMaker server command line errors
Submitted by steveWinter on Mon, 10/31/2011 - 14:22
FileMaker Server comes with a great command line tool which can be scripted in your favourite language to manage a FileMaker server.
It's not one of those things which one uses all that often, well, I don't anyway, so when an error occurs, there's always that hunt for it's meaning. I always start at http://localhost:16000 because that's where all the other FMS documentation can be found, but for some reason it's not there. The answer lurks in the FMS Help documentation, which strangely I've never been able to locate in the FMS install on my machine.
The document can be downloaded from the FileMaker site: FileMaker Server 11 Help however I know that I'll forget all about that by next time I need to know what error 20402 means, so mostly for my own sake, I've posted the complete set of FileMaker server command line errors below. Maybe they'll help someone else out too.
