Use deprecated locking mechanism (Dataset objects)

This check box specifies whether an operator accessing a named dataset from the Library takes a global, cluster-wide lock.

Values: This check box has one of the following values:

Selected - An operator accessing a named data set—for read, write, or both—takes a global, cluster-wide lock for access by multiple processes. This locking is the legacy method that is used in previous versions of PAM and is provided for backwards compatibility. This method requires that other operators that are accessing any other named data set to wait while it completes its operation. This method represents a reduction in the speed of process execution in an otherwise high-performance system.
Cleared - The named data set accessed by the operator takes a lock for itself only. This method is much faster than the legacy cluster-wide lock method. When reading from the dataset, no lock is taken. When writing to the dataset, the lock is taken and released only at the end of the operator and is relatively short.

Default: Cleared for new dataset objects. Imported dataset objects from previous versions have their check box selected by default.
