Cannot create sandbox: problem running daemon start


Arvind Kumar (1611) | asked Sep 12 '13, 6:16 p.m.
Trying to create a sandbox using Visual Studio and RTC4.0.1 (IBM Rational Team Concert Version: 4.0.1HF254368 Build: I4.0.1HF254368_20130306-1346). Getting the following error: reinstalling RTC for VS makes no difference.

09/12/2013 13:14:42 UiUtils: Load Repository: Can not create sandbox at given location., com.ibm.team.foundation.core.exception.CoreException: Can not create sandbox at given location. ---> com.ibm.team.filesystem.common.FSDaemonConnectionException: Starting the SCM daemon (C:\Program Files\IBM\Rational Team Concert Client for Microsoft Visual Studio IDE\3rd Party\scmtools\eclipse\scm.exe) on c:\Sandboxes\8.0Sandbox returned error: Sandbox(es) locked by an unknown process.
Problem running 'daemon start':
Failed to lock all sandboxes. Could not lock "Status ERROR: com.ibm.team.filesystem.client code=0 Cannot create sandbox at C:/Sandboxes/8.0Sandbox because one already exists at C:/Sandboxes null".

Hi Arvind,


Do you have any other clients or processes running that are accessing the same sandbox?

No other clients or processes. PC restart, RTC for VS reinstall didn't help.

Local expert found and fixed the problem: I had launched a previous sandbox creation step, then aborted it by killing VS from Task Manager. This had created and left a .jazz5 directory in my sandbox folder. Removing that .jazz5 folder fixed the issue. The error msg is very confusing. Took about 4 hours to resolve it.
