Deadlock issues on the not-so-TAO table IN_RLS_DMD_TAO
IN_RLS_DMD_TAO is an Inventory table that, despite the naming convention, is not actually defined as a temporary table. As such, it does not follow the normal processing conventions that we are familiar with around TAO tables, ie: multiple instances defined, one instance used per active AE process, etc.
The design was intentional... certain multi-step jobs require continuity of the data state to complete, and there was no way to "hand-off" a specific temp TAO instance between the different processes.
Keeping this table around, and having multiple processes try to access the one instance, can have some unintended consequences.
