Hi MichaelH,
As Luis implies in his response, there is Not Enough Information. I'll
add that Something Is Different. Either
A) one or both of your code sets do something different than the
other programs that use the class.
B) The issue always exists, but the timing of these two brings it to
the fore.
Is the "Excel building class" something developed in-house or somewhere
else? There may be some indication in the documentation about locking,
either on the file itself or some commonly used object. Without
information, no one can provide more than guesses, which is often a waste of
everyone's time. .

Subject: Re: Another "java.lang.NoSuchMethodError" question
Any suggestions on how to get around the issue with "resource busy"?
We have two programs that run back to back that use the same Excel
building class. Seems the second job in ties things up for these two.
There are many other jobs that run during the day that use the class
just
fine. Other jobs use the same IFS folder as well. Just these two seem
to
butt heads each morning.

Resource busy indicates a lock on the IFS file or directory. The
"not
found" is a little misleading. It wasn't found (assuming it really
exists)
because it wasn't able to look for it in the path because of "resource
busy."
