Error description

  • Windows WASService generates intermittent Application Event 109,
    "Could not determine the process id of the java process" on
    startup and fails to start. WASService sometimes tries to read
    .pid file before new created java process write PID number in
    the file. This timing gap causes failure of a server process to
    start.
