I am running a shell command (from a database) and am getting a return/exit code of 255. What does 255 signify?

Thanks...
 
Hi,

The error 255 in Database(Oracle) means that your archive log is full.
You may want to delete some of these files in the archive log directory.
As for me, I would usually keep the archive logs for the last 7 days.

If you are unsure on the location of the archive log, you can search for the file &quot;config<sid>.ora&quot;. This file is a database configuration which include the location of the archive log.


Good Luck
