Informix Error -9488: Invalid jar removal. All dependent UDRs not dropped.

Cause and resolution

Invalid jar removal. All dependent UDRs not dropped.

You cannot drop a jar if dependent UDRs still reference any of the classes within the jar. Drop all user-defined functions and/or user-defined procedures that reference a class in the jar within their external names.

Oninit® Troubleshooting Guidance

Reasons / Common Causes

-9488 fires when remove_jar() targets a jar that still has UDRs referencing classes within it — per the official guidance.

One or more UDFs/UDPs still referencing a class in the jar via their external names, per the official guidance — the direct, only cause; a jar can't be dropped while dependent UDRs still reference any of its classes.

Solutions / Resolution

Drop all user-defined functions and/or procedures that reference a class in the jar within their external names, per the official guidance, before removing the jar.

Examples

N/A

No specific triggering statement is documented beyond removing a jar with dependent UDRs.

Diagnostic Checks

Check the system catalog for UDFs/UDPs whose external name references a class in the jar, and drop them before removing the jar.
