what is concurrent lock

[#1]

Can anyone educate me on the topic of concurrent lock.

Each Application seems to have a node for concurrent lock settings which can be seen in outlooksoft admin.

My guess. It determines the dimensions relevant for locking for an App.

Hi,

I've read in the BPC Admin Guide that "data submission is based on a first come first serve basis". So the concurrent lock settings actually prevents concurrent data submission conflicts between users working on the same data intersection.

The Entity, Time, and Category dimensions are locked by default.

Here's my question: What is the disadvantage of locking ALL the dimensions on the concurrent lock settings of a certain application?
