Build fails with "Error getting file item info " error

We use Jazz Build engine for our builds.

Off late we are having strange errors:

 com.ibm.team.filesystem.client.FileSystemException: Error getting file item info for _vpPRgGemEeegWK0ZdJtw0g at \<component>\<folder> in component _XxwHsWeVEeevppoEgCGCGg of context _7TNOsb5yEeWLGKVhozpOJg
 at com.ibm.team.filesystem.client.internal.core.SharingMetadata2.accept(SharingMetadata2.java:2266)
  at com.ibm.team.filesystem.client.internal.copyfileareas.CopyFileAreaStore.assignNewUUIDsToRemoteSharesWithNoLocal(CopyFileAreaStore.java:1915)
  at com.ibm.team.filesystem.client.internal.copyfileareas.CopyFileAreaStore.moveShareRootToWC(CopyFileAreaStore.java:1681)
    at com.ibm.team.filesystem.client.internal.copyfileareas.CopyFileAreaStore.setSharingInfo(CopyFileAreaStore.java:1591)
   at com.ibm.team.filesystem.client.internal.copyfileareas.CopyFileArea.share(CopyFileArea.java:347)
   at com.ibm.team.filesystem.client.internal.SharingManager.share(SharingManager.java:542)
 at com.ibm.team.filesystem.client.internal.load.MergeLoadMutator.load(MergeLoadMutator.java:971)

The above error comes only only for the builds marked which has the value "Delete before loading" unchecked. Same build works fine when the flag is checked.

How can I find the root cause for this? I have no info apart from this.

It is very likely you are hitting the below defect:

https://jazz.net/jazz/web/projects/Rational%20Team%20Concert#action=com.ibm.team.workitem.viewWorkItem&id=423578

The symptom you are seeing appears to be occurred in subsequent builds of java.lang.NullPointerException

thanks for the pointer. Do you know if there are any workaround for this (apart from making this a cont. build always).

Don Yang commented Sep 05 '17, 4:15 a.m.

The fix for the defect is in 604 buildsystem Toolkit. For other versions, you may need to contact support if there is any existing fix.
I only know clear sandbox may help.
