Issue/Introduction

When executing a SBT with an invalid XML format or connection to a database which does not exit, the exit code should be different from zero. It is not always so.

Environment

Release: CAIDMB99000-12.6-Identity Manager-B to B
Component:

Resolution

The quick workaround for such an isue is to run the SBT in a different form, for example: 
start test.sbt /w
or run the .sbt file from a batch file.
