Troubleshooting
Problem
The wsadmin command line scripting tool does not return a non-zero return code when the specified profile name (using the -profileName parameter) does not refer to an existing profile.
Symptom
The console output of running such command:
C:\WebSphere7\AppServer>cd bin
C:\WebSphere7\AppServer\bin>wsadmin -profileName abc
WCMD0003E: The specified profile "abc" cannot be found. If a default profile exists and you wish to use it, the -profileName parameter is not required.
C:\WebSphere7\AppServer\bin>echo %ERRORLEVEL%
0
Note: It should return a error code "1" instead of "0" . This problem does not occur in UNIX platforms.
