Intermittent error when using symstore to upload debug symbols

Question

Hi,

We're seeing some intermittent errors when trying to use symstore to upload debug symbols to a shared drive in our CI system. The output from the command

SYMSTORE MESSAGE: 0 alternate indexers registered

SYMSTORE MESSAGE: LastId.txt reported id 0

SYMSTORE MESSAGE: History.txt reported id 0

SYMSTORE MESSAGE: Existing logs reported id 1773

SYMSTORE MESSAGE: Final id is 0000001773

The parameter is incorrect.

SYMSTORE: Number of files stored = 0

SYMSTORE: Number of errors = 0

SYMSTORE: Number of files ignored = 0

SYMSTORE ERROR: Class: Server. Desc: Couldn't get transaction id from <path> Error 87:

Process exited with code 87

If I rerun the build then it will likely work the second time. I thought there might be an issue with multiple jobs trying to upload symbols at the same time, but my testing locally found there weren't any issues uploading symbols concurrently.

What issues could be causing what we're seeing? Could it be an issue with access to the shared drive?

Thanks
