Issue pushing config updates on SHC

I am experiencing an issue when I have made updates to the apps on the deployer for a search head cluster and trying to push it out to the nodes.

The issue seems to be hitting on DBConnect but might be that is just the app that it is hitting it on.

The error I am getting is about the file being used by another process.

This is the error:


Error while deploying apps to first member: Error while updating app=splunk_app_db_connect on target=https://dmmsplunksh

has anyone seen this before or know how to get around it so I can push out my updates?
