PH45432: ECLIPSELINK MAY OBTAIN INCORRECT IDENTITY VALUES ON SQLSERVER

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When persisting Entities that use a
  'javax.persistence.GenerationType.IDENTITY' identity strategy,
  EclipseLink may obtain an incorrect IDENTITY value from
  SQLServer databases. If this happens, it may result in an
  javax.persistence.EntityNotFoundException or it may result in a
  corrupted Entity cache; it depends on what the application does
  for the rest of the transaction.
