ExmanCmd fails and gives error code 513

[emam-dev]

When we run ExmanCmd in a machine we are getting 'init failed, error code 513'

We checked the error code list, but could not find the 513 code in the list.

Could you please suggest how can we resolve this problem.

Thanks in advance.

-513 is listed in the error codes here:

-5xx (-500 to -513)

Failed to update the database

The extension or plugin is corrupted. Try installing it again.

Behind the scenes the exact error is this: 

EXMAN_FAILED_ELEVATE_WRITEDB = -513

Based on some recent cases of users having similar issues, there could be a number of things happening here... but based on the error, you could try running ExManCmd as `sudo` if you haven't already.

Here are some articles and a post about recent changes: 

• ExManCmd is slowly being phased out in favor of UPIA.
• ExManCmd for M1
  • I've included a "Troubleshooting at your own risk" section in that article which may be helpful.
• Installation locations have changed.

If you still can't get it to install, definitely follow the instructions for "still facing issues" and feel free to CC me (finnegan (at) adobe.com) when you email asupport@adobe.com.
