COMADMIN_E_CAT_INVALID_PARTITION_NAME

COMADMIN_E_CAT_INVALID_PARTITION_NAME is the failure HRESULT 0x80110458 (signed decimal -2146368424, unsigned decimal 2148598872). Its severity bit is 1, facility is 17 (FACILITY_ITF), and the facility-specific code field is 0x0458.

COM+ partition administration: exact meaning of COMADMIN_E_CAT_INVALID_PARTITION_NAME

The proposed COM+ partition name is invalid or contains no visible character. Partition property validation rejects the name before catalog creation or rename.

AllStat records this condition as “The specified partition name is invalid. Check that the name contains at least one visible character”.

Where COMADMIN_E_CAT_INVALID_PARTITION_NAME occurs

Partitions are logical containers with explicit IDs, names, user defaults, application contents, and platform enablement; operations must use the intended partition rather than assume a global namespace. In the specific case of COMADMIN_E_CAT_INVALID_PARTITION_NAME, log the exact Unicode value, trimming/normalization, control characters, and source template.

Evidence to collect before repair

  • Collect the exact Unicode code points of the proposed name when diagnosing COMADMIN_E_CAT_INVALID_PARTITION_NAME; without it the symbolic HRESULT is underdetermined.
  • The COMADMIN_E_CAT_INVALID_PARTITION_NAME investigation needs trimmed and normalized representations so the exact failing boundary remains reconstructable.
  • For COMADMIN_E_CAT_INVALID_PARTITION_NAME, preserve configuration variable expansion source; it anchors the failure to the real administration object.
  • Evidence for COMADMIN_E_CAT_INVALID_PARTITION_NAME should include the method/property receiving the name, captured before a repair changes state.

Diagnostic sequence for COMADMIN_E_CAT_INVALID_PARTITION_NAME

  • The next COMADMIN_E_CAT_INVALID_PARTITION_NAME diagnostic action is to reject empty and whitespace-only values before COMAdmin.
  • To isolate COMADMIN_E_CAT_INVALID_PARTITION_NAME, remove control characters while preserving intended visible text.
  • For COMADMIN_E_CAT_INVALID_PARTITION_NAME, separate partition ID, description, and name fields.
  • At the COMADMIN_E_CAT_INVALID_PARTITION_NAME boundary, submit a concise visible name.
  • The next COMADMIN_E_CAT_INVALID_PARTITION_NAME diagnostic action is to repopulate partitions and verify the stored name.

Practical administration scenario

A configuration variable expands to whitespace and is passed as the new partition name.

Retry and recovery

Provide a stable visible name and validate it before calling the catalog API.
