SAP Issue: SAP 9.2 PL05/06 DI-API cause deadlocks in long running operations with transactions

Hi All

It seems that SAP 9.2 PL06 (and perhaps also PL05) have a bug in it's DI-API causing it to deadlock at random interval. B1UP's Recurring Invoice and Master Data Manager is affected but unknown if other areas in our other add-ons are affected.

We are working with the partner that originally reported this and SAP Support to get more clarity on what is affected and how to get around it, but we have a simple code-sample that can reproduce in any database so that is a good sign at least.

We will update this when we know more but for now we can't recommend upgrading to SAP 9.2 PL05/06 if you are using Recurring invoices or Master Data Manager.

Update: 2017-01-11: SAP Have identified the issue and have a workaround for the issue. You need to contact SAP Support and reference incident no 1867 / 2017 to get the workaround. It is also planned to be fixed in SAP 9.2 PL07

Update: 2017-01-19: SAP Have not a SAP Note explaining the issue: https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/notes/2411657

Update: 2017-02-10: Seems SAP have released an SAP 9.2 PL06 HF1 that deals with the issue :-)
