How to Lock/Enqueue objects and keep it locked even after the dialog ends

Hi Thanigaivelan M... ,

call a function in new or background task, let it do the enqueue. But then I have no idea on how to dequeue except killing the task.

Regards

Clemens

What is the best way to lock/enqueue an object even after the dialog that created the lock ends. Only an explicit dequeue call on that object should be able to unlock/dequeue that object.

If you can manage your updates in update tasks, you may be able to control the dequeue by using the '_SCOPE'

parameter of the FM generated for enqueue.

I may be completely out of context here, however, I believe it is worth investigating this extract of the SAP help

SCOPE = 3: The lock or lock release is also passed to the update program. 
The lock must be removed in both the interactive program and in the update program.

as explained [ here.|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/4f/991f82446d11d189700000e8322d00/frameset.htm]

The responses so far talks about ways to find when the dialog/transaction completes so I can dequeue.

Sorry, if my question wasn't clear the first time.I am looking for ways to keep the enqueue entry active on the enqueue server even after the call/dialog/transaction to enqueue completes processing.

Situation:

When an external system is calling the enqueue RFC to lock an entry, the call to SAP from external system creates the lock. When the called RFC completes processing and control goes back to the external system, the enqueue is automatically released since the RFC that made the enqueue request completed processing in SAP.

I want to keep the enqueue entry active on the enqueue server even after the call from external system completes. I will make a follow up call from the external system to dequeue when I am ready to dequeue it.

Thanks

Dear Muthu,

have you been able to find a solution ? We are facing the same issue to lock object from an external application (#NET) and manage locks from external application

Matthew, would you please be kind and detail when you say

You need to use qRFC. Or a stateful webservice.

Thanks in advance, any help would be appreciated

kind regards,

Try using Following code, it worked for me...

CALL

FUNCTION 'FUNCTION_NAME' "USE THE RFC
STARTING NEW TASK lv_cur_ins "'MR_UPLOAD'
DESTINATION IN GROUP DEFAULT
CALLING task_complete
ON END OF TASK
EXPORTING
lt_data = lt_data
iv_rdate = me->gv_date
TABLES
et_error = lt_data_err
et_appl_error = lt_appl_err
EXCEPTIONS
communication_failure = 1
system_failure = 2
OTHERS = 3.
ENDIF. "endif last
ENDLOOP.

WAIT UNTIL gv_inst_completed = gv_inst_started
UP TO LV_WAIT SECONDS.

Regards,

Hi Muthu

I am also facing the same problem, After execution how to keep active the lock object. Please share the solution.

Thanks
