Informix Error -9484: Invalid jar name.

Cause and resolution

Invalid jar name.

If the jar name specifies the database and/or username, make sure that these names match the database and user in the environment in which the jar is being installed.

Oninit® Troubleshooting Guidance

Reasons / Common Causes

-9484 fires when a jar name is invalid for the environment it's being installed into — per the official guidance.

  1. A jar name specifying a database and/or username that doesn't match the environment the jar is being installed in, per the official guidance — the direct, only cause.
Solutions / Resolution
  1. Make sure any database/username named in the jar name matches the database and user in the installation environment, per the official guidance.
Examples
A jar name with a mismatched database
EXECUTE PROCEDURE install_jar('file:/path/to/myjar.jar', 'otherdb:MyJar', 0);
-- -9484 if the current database isn't otherdb
Corrected
EXECUTE PROCEDURE install_jar('file:/path/to/myjar.jar', 'MyJar', 0);
Diagnostic Checks
  1. Check the jar name for an embedded database/username, and match it to the current installation environment, or remove it.
