Lotus Notes Error Writing To Process File Pid Nbf
may be inappropriately accessing this file)" Error; writing; process; file; pid.nbf; applications; may be inappropriately; accessing; this file Technote (troubleshooting) Problem Your Lotus Domino server will not start and the following error is seen on the console: Error writing to process file pid.nbf, (other applications may be inappropriately accessing this file) Symptom The pid.nbf file has been removed, but the error persists. The Domino server still will not start. A few lines are appended to the bottom of the notes.ini file. You can remove the entries, but they are added again when the server is started. For example: [Notes]FaultRecovery_Build=Release 8.0.2 Directory= '>/Ó¥_ '·/Ô/ Cause In this case, the problem was caused by a user modifying a line in the notes.ini, the line should read: [Notes] The user changed this to: [Notes.ini] Correcting that line back to [Notes] fixes the issue. In another case the notes.ini was pointing to an incorrect location for the program directory and the data directory. When this was corrected the server started normally. Environment Domino on IBM i Resolving the problem The first line in the notes.ini must always read [Notes]. Modify the notes.ini to correct this entry. This problem can also occur if there are multiple Directory= lines in the notes.ini. Be sure that any duplicate entries are removed and the directory information is correct.

Answer This issue has been fixed in Domino 6.5.6, 7.0.2 Fix Pack 1 (FP1) and 8.0. Excerpt from the Lotus Domino Release 6.5.6 MR http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21375428 and 7.0.2 FP1 fix lists (available at http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/lotus): SPR# TSAO6RM8FZ - NSD now makes a separate copy of pid.nbf and reads that; also only reads the file once instead of four times. This regression was introduced in 6.5.5. Refer to the Upgrade Central site for details on upgrading Notes/Domino. When the Domino server starts http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21246979 it launches an NSD -info command to gather some system configuration information. NSD reads pid.nbf, which can cause file contention with the Domino server. Obtaining this fix is the preferred method of resolving this issue. In the interim, there are two workarounds: Workaround #1 If you have NSD update Version 2382, you can add the following line to nsd.ini in the data directory: USEPIDNBF=1 This will cause NSD to use pid.nbf exclusively for initialization, reducing the time that the file is open. Workaround #2 Disable the launching of NSD -info at server startup. This is done by adding the following line to the notes.ini: DISABLE_SAVENSDCONFIG=1 Related information Document information More support for: Lotus End of Support Products Lotus Domino Server Software version: 6.5.5 Operating system(s): Windows Reference #: 1246979 Modified date: 17 July 2007 Site availability Site assistance Contact and feedback Need support?
