APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Since the upgrade to CQ 8.0.1.2, using the LoadEntity API is
  failing for Validation hooks with the following error:
  
  CRMUD0082E Execution of a hook failed during the action Modify.
  It was
  the ACTION_VALIDATION hook attached to the Defect
  "SAMPL00000001". The
  reason for the failure was:
  CRMUD0082E Execution of a hook failed during the action Modify.
  It was
  the ACTION_VALIDATION hook attached to the Defect
  "SAMPL00000010". The
  reason for the failure was:
  CRMUD0011E Cannot update entity SAMPL00000001 because the action
  Modify
  is already in progress. at main::issue_Validation line 64. at
  main::
  issue_Validation line 221.
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  Add the following lines into any Validation hook on the
  DefectTracking schema:
  my $er;
  $er = $session->LoadEntityByDbId(<own_recordtype>,
  $entity->GetDbId()
  );  # current entity
  return $er;
  
  This was working fine in CQ 8.0.0.7.
