Informix Error -23530: CM error: No such DBspace or DBslice.

Cause and resolution

CM error: No such DBspace or DBslice.

You have issued a command to the CM system to perform an operation on a dbspace or dbslice with the given name, but the system cannot find it. Make sure you have identified the dbspace or dbslice correctly, and that you are not using some other object name where a dbspace or dbslice name is required.

Oninit® Troubleshooting Guidance

Reasons / Common Causes

-23530 fires when a CM operation names a dbspace or dbslice the system can't find — per the official guidance.

  1. A dbspace/dbslice name the CM system can't find, per the official guidance — the direct, only cause.
Solutions / Resolution
  1. Confirm the dbspace/dbslice name is correct, per the official guidance, and confirm no other object's name was used in its place.
Examples
N/A

No specific triggering statement is documented beyond an unidentifiable dbspace/dbslice name.

Diagnostic Checks
  1. Check the given name against the actual configured dbspaces/dbslices, and confirm it's not another object type's name used by mistake.
