Entity is not being updated in a long-running process

I'm struggling with Doctrine to update my entities. I ran the following snippet and I could see that only the first message received by my long-running process has resulted in changes (although all the received messages led to changes in my entity):

$wow = $this->_em->getUnitOfWork();
$wow->computeChangeSets();
$changes = $wow->getEntityChangeSet($someEntity);

I've also deleted the snippet and only observed the UPDATE logs, which occur only one time, too.

Solved: The entity has another repository to handle only-read versions of it. What happened was an event that called that read-only repository and then set the class metadata to read-only. As that metadata is shared, Doctrine stopped tracking changes on all my entities (of that class).

btw I solved it by removing the $metadata->markReadOnly(); but I still need a read-only version of my entity and don't know how to do that.
