IT45411: PCOMM: FILE TRANSFER FAILS WITH ERROR_SHARING_VIOLATION ERROR

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When user transfers a file to a Network drive, the transfer
  starts and they can see that it was able to transfer some data
  (but not completely). And after a second or so, the transfer
  stops and they are getting this SCREEN ERASURE message:
  
  IKT00405I SCREEN ERASURE CAUSED BY ERROR RECOVERY PROCEDURE
  
  They tried the same transfer to a different Network drive
  location, but it did not complete as well, and they are getting
  again the same error message.
  
  On the other hand, when they transfer to a Local C: drive, it
  works and they get the complete file.
