Informix HPL message 23218: Cannot open database '%s' - SQL error %d, ISAM error %d

Oninit® Troubleshooting Guidance

What it means

onpload could not open the target database. %s is the database name; the SQL and ISAM error numbers say why.

Common causes

• The database does not exist, or the name in the job or the -D override is wrong.
• The user has no connect permission, or the server is not reachable or not online.

What to do

• Look up the SQL and ISAM errors with finderr and fix the underlying cause (permissions, server state, name).
• Check INFORMIXSERVER and the -S/-T overrides.
