Unable to copy mail journal files from iSeries Domino

Subject: Unable to copy mail journal files from iSeries Domino

Feedback Type: Problem

Product Area: Domino Server

Technical Area: Error Message

Platform: System i (iSeries/i5OS)

Release: 8.5.1

Reproducible: Always

We recently upgraded our mail server running on iSeries to Domino 8.5.1 FP2. We were previously on 7.0.2 FP2.

I have a batch file I run from my computer that connects to the Domino server and copies the mail journals over to my PC so I can save them offsite. The batch file worked fine with 7, but with 8.5.1 I get an error message on some of the mail journals:

"The process cannot access the file because another process has locked a portion of the file."

I get a similar message if I try to copy and paste the file from iSeries Navigator:

"<filename> is currently in use. The operation did not complete."

Some of the files WILL copy. If I look at the file attributes through Client Access, the difference I see is with an attribute called "Allow write during save". On the journals files that cannot be copied, that is set to Yes. On the ones that can be copied, it is set to No.

Also, at the same time we upgrade this server to 8.5.1 FP2, we set up a cluster server on another iSeries on Domino 8.5.1 FP2. The mail journals from that server copy fine.

Any ideas?
