## Fault Description

A ConcurrentAccess fault is thrown when an operation fails because another operation has modified the datastructure.

For non-transactional operations, such as a recursive delete of a subtree of the inventory, the operation might fail with ConcurrentAccess if another thread has added a new entity to the hierarchy.
