Well, the flag had to be set before executing the action. Unfortunatelly checking and setting the flag can not be atomic over all nodes. So this might lead to a race condition that multiple instances enter the "synchronized" area. (Which in fact is not synchronized.)

if (flag)
   // <--- here the race condition might occur
   flag = true;
   doSomeLongRunningTasksInDB();
   flag = false;
}
