Question on Lock Objects

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am in a custom transaction and am using a lock object to lock the production order I am working with. Further down in the logic, I am using a bapi to create a notification. After this call, the lock gets released. Is there any way in which I could ensure that the lock is not released even after the bapi executes?

Thanks

Hi,

One way you can enforce the lock till the end is,

find out the LOCK object (ENQUEUE func. module) which is used to lock the production order,

Now before your BAPI call, again execute this func. module and release the lock after bapi is committed.

Hi,

Does the BAPI you are calling doing a commit work ? Then it is the commit work that clears the lock.

Usually BAPIs have a parameter in its interface with whihc you can tell whther to do a commit or not ....if the parameter is available then use this to tell the BAPI not to do a commit...and do the commit from your program later ....btw which BAPI are you using?

Thanks.

Hi Deepu,

Yes, the bapi IQS4_CREATE_NOTIFICATION has a parameter I_COMMIT that commits work and I guess this is what is releasing the locks. However, I do need to commit work since I need the notification number returned by the bapi in downstream processing...

Thanks.

Hi Tessy,

Whatever value you pass to I_COMMIT, you will get the notification number back...however it won't be commited yet into the database tables...

So you can commit it from your program....Now if you are accessing details of the notification before doing commit, obviously that will fail....

So call the BAPI without commit and do your processing as your require..maybe you just need the notification number...so do your activities and then commit..

Thanks.

Hi Deepu,

No, that did not work. I passed I_COMMIT as space to the bapi but still the lock is getting released..

Hi tessy,

Use transaction SM12 Lock entries to see lock entries

Naming: The lock object name must start with EZ

Create the lock object for the required table using SE11. When you create the locl object, two function

modules will be created automatically. These two function modules named

ENQUEUE_<lock object name> and DEQUEUE_<lock object name> can be called to lock or dislock

the table.

Example:

Create a lock object for table MSEG called EZTESTLOCK.

When you has created the lock object, the two function modules

ENQUEUE_EZTESTLOCK

DEQUEUE_EZTESTLOCK

Will automatically be created

REPORT lockentries.

PARAMETERS:

p_mbelnr LIKE mseg-mblnr DEFAULT '4900008001',

p_mjahr LIKE mseg-mjahr DEFAULT '2001',

p_zeile LIKE mseg-zeile DEFAULT 1,

p_lock RADIOBUTTON GROUP lock,

p_unlock RADIOBUTTON GROUP lock.
