Generating Exit Values
An exit value of 0 indicates that the executable exited normally.
Any other exit value indicates that there was an error, which will prevent the Active Upgrade
process from continuing with the current upgrade request. If this happens, you must correct the
problem and click
Retry in the Active Upgrade Console to retry the current upgrade request (which
also runs the custom action again). The Active Upgrade process will not continue until the
executable for your custom action runs successfully.

Viewing Standard Output and Error Stream
After your program executes, you can view standard output and error output from the program in
the Active Upgrade Console, as follows:
1. In the activity log, expand an Execute custom actions node.
(There can be more than one Execute custom actions node, depending on the types of custom
actions you have created. Find the node for the upgrade stage in which your custom action was
set to run.)
2. Double-click a specific custom action to display more information about it.
3. In the detail window, view the output for your program under Status. If necessary, scroll down
in the
Status box to see the full output. Or move your cursor over the Status box to view the
output as ToolTip help.
If you save the activity log to a file, you can also view the output in that file. See “Saving the
Activity Log to a File” on page 5-164 for more information.
