File used by another process

Hi sometimes (not always) when I run my job I get this error.

I don't have the file open so what could be the problem and how can i solve it?

Regarding to the error log, the problem is that there are 2 processes opening the file at the same time​.

one possible solution is to check the 'Append existing file' button for tFileOutputExcel component as the below

Is the problem that the job don't have time to close and reopen the file? How does it work when the job works/catches error/works. Should the job open and close the file for each step? I saw this component tsleep. Could this be a solution to set somewhere so that the job has time to close the file correctly?
