" Team ->Share project " Custom implementation deadlock issue , eclipse client not responding (suspended)

Hi, We have a custom implementation for sharing projects from sandbox to repository. (called "Auto-share") However this custom auto-share implementation goes into a deadlock with
one of the IBM operation "Updating out of sync share".

To fix this deadlock issue we had to remove the below code from our custom
implementation.

// Obtain the CFA lock so metadata updates will happen in-thread

AbstractLock lock = CFALockUtil.lockExistingForGlobalUpdate(entry.getKey(), progress.newChild(1));

Is the above code mandatory while sharing projects ? Do you foresee any issues?
Do we have any documentation for the same?

(Our tests indicates most the use cases to be working, but wanted an expert
opinion on the same.)


Thanks and regards
