That was the initial idea in our case.

I've been implementing a IndexationManager hook doing the job for CPS
but I get the error your talking about...

Thanks Dieter for the explanation. Your mail just arrived when I was
trying to understand the persistency problems :(

I got POSKeyError, Unauthorized (at catalog level while indexing and
trying to get object attributs) or KeyError (Connection.setState())
exceptions randomly as well.

Is there a way to hook before the first transaction commit phase ?
