Informix Error -43027: The new chunk path <chunk-path> does not exist. User chose to discontinue </chunk-path> the rename chunk operation when prompted for input.

Reasons / Common Causes

-43027 fires during a chunk-rename operation when the new chunk path doesn't exist and the user, when prompted, chose to stop the rename — per the official guidance.

1. The new chunk path not existing, and the user choosing to discontinue when prompted, per the official guidance — the direct, only cause.

Solutions / Resolution

1. Create the new chunk path, then rerun the rename, per the official guidance's implication.

Examples

N/A

No specific triggering statement is documented beyond the user discontinuing the operation at the prompt.

Diagnostic Checks

1. Create the missing chunk path, and rerun the rename operation.

• -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 instead of stopping.

The new chunk path didn't exist and the user chose to stop the rename — create the path and retry.
