Informix Error -43028: The new chunk path <chunk-path> does not exist. User chose to continue the </chunk-path> rename chunk operation without creating the chunk path when prompted for input.

Reasons / Common Causes

-43028 fires during a chunk-rename operation when the new chunk path doesn't exist and the user, when prompted, chose to continue anyway without creating it — per the official guidance.

1. The new chunk path not existing, and the user choosing to continue without creating it, per the official guidance — the direct, only cause; this is informational, not a failure.

Solutions / Resolution

1. No action is required if the missing path was intentional, per the official guidance — the rename proceeds as the user directed.
2. Otherwise, create the chunk path and rerun the rename, per the official guidance's implication.

Examples

N/A

No specific triggering statement is documented beyond the user choosing to continue at the prompt.

Diagnostic Checks

1. Confirm the missing chunk path was an intentional choice, and create it before rerunning if not.
