BOPF and shared locks

Hi everybody,

we are facing with a lock issue. Due to some requirements we need to set a shared lock on a BOPF instance.

In /BOBF/IF_CONF_C are the following edit modes defined:

• SC_EDIT_CHECK_OPTIMISTIC
• SC_EDIT_EXCLUSIVE
• SC_EDIT_OPTIMISTIC
• SC_EDIT_PROMOTE
• SC_EDIT_READ_ONLY
• SC_EDIT_SHARED

So far, so good. But in /BOBF/CL_TRA_SERVICE_MGR->/BOBF/IF_TRA_SERVICE_MANAGER~RETRIEVE we see the following restriction:

IF iv_edit_mode <> /bobf/if_conf_c=>sc_edit_read_only
 AND iv_edit_mode <> /bobf/if_conf_c=>sc_edit_optimistic
 AND iv_edit_mode <> /bobf/if_conf_c=>sc_edit_exclusive.
 set_application_error( ).
ENDIF.

Is it a bug or currently not supported?
... We are on NetWeaver 7.40 SP11 / SAP_BS_FND 747 0009
