Local fix

Problem summary

• Shared business objects do not work with multiple concurrent
  users
  
  PROBLEM DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
  A shared business object may be used and updated by multiple
  business processes and tasks. This can even happen in parallel.
  For this there is some retry logic in place that worked when
  the callers made updates in non-overlapping transactions. For
  overlapping transactions an exception occurred.
  

Problem conclusion

• The fix enables a retry when concurrent users or services modify
  a shared business object in parallel, so that the deltas of all
  of them are saved.
