How to Rename a Chunk in IDS 9.4

Regards

Saikat

Hi,

I have found that ontape -r -rename -f command do the move of chunk file. Accordingly I am giving the command

ontape -r -rename -f dat1dbs -p /usr -o -n /ifmxdata/db1 -o

where dat1dbs is the name of the chunk file, /usr is the path of the dat1dbs and /ifmxdata/db1 is the new path where the dat1dbs to be stored. I have been logged on as both su as well dbsa.

But the command is giving following error

Error at line 1 in input file dat1dbs

Please provide me any solutions

There is no supported way to simply rename a chunk.
You can only rename dbspace, blobspace.... by onspaces.
The only spported way of doing this would be to empty the chunk and then drop it and
create a new chunk. That of course means unloading and
reloading the data stored there.
Unofficially you can do this by binary editing data on the disk, but its dangerous and can lead to some corrupted chunk information.

ps: ontape can rename chunks only during cold restore.

Can you please provide me the codes how to do it.
