Informix Error -43026: The new chunk path <chunk-path> does not exist. User interaction failed </chunk-path> while prompting user for input to continue further.

Reasons / Common Causes

-43026 fires during a chunk-rename operation when the new chunk path doesn't exist and ON-Bar's attempt to prompt the user for input fails — per the official guidance.

1. The new chunk path not existing, combined with a failed interactive prompt (e.g. no attached terminal), per the official guidance — the direct, only cause.

Solutions / Resolution

1. Create the new chunk path before rerunning the rename, per the official guidance's implication.
2. Run the rename interactively (with a terminal attached) so the prompt can be answered, per the official guidance's implication.

Examples

N/A

No specific triggering statement is documented beyond a missing chunk path and a failed interactive prompt.

Diagnostic Checks

1. Check that the new chunk path exists, and confirm the command is running with an interactive terminal available.

• -43027 — "The new chunk path does not exist. User chose to discontinue the rename chunk operation when prompted for input." The same missing-path condition, where the user was successfully prompted and chose to stop.
• -43028 — "The new chunk path does not exist. User chose to continue the rename chunk operation without creating the chunk path when prompted for input." The same missing-path condition, where the user chose to continue anyway.

The new chunk path doesn't exist and the interactive prompt to resolve it failed — create the path first, or rerun interactively.
