PH56661: "DATASETEXCEPTION: THE CLIENT COPY OF THE DATASET IS OBSOLETE" WHEN WRITING/READING DATASET ON SAME COMPUTER

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• An RPT 10.5.3 customer was running a schedule with two User
  Groups, each with a single user.  The first group updates a
  dataset by overwriting its first row using custom code.  The
  second group reads the first row, after a delay of 5 seconds, in
  custom code.  If the two User Groups are run on the same
  computer (either Local computer or the same agent), a
  DataSetException is thrown in the custom code when trying to
  read from the dataset, with a message like:
  
  com.hcl.products.onetest.datasets.DataSetException: The client
  copy of the dataset is obsolete. Client last retrieved data at:
  [2023-08-31T11:14:20.867Z] - Data was last modified on server
  at: [2023-08-31T07:14:21.199-04:00]
  
  If the schedule is modified so that the two User Groups are on
  different computers (two agents or Local computer and agent), it
  will run successfully.
