0003603: USE_TRANSMIT mode doesn't work
When the data only exists on the Head Node (process 0) of a parallel server and PV_USE_TRANSMIT is enabled, then the data should only be loaded on the single 0 process and then MPI transmit to the other nodes ( as specified in http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView:FAQ#Why_does_it_take_so_long_to_read_my_files_in_parallel_.3F [^] )

Unfortunately, right now every process attempts (and fails) to load it individually. According to Berk Geveci this feature is not being testing, and has become accidentally broken.
No tags attached.

Berk,

Looking at vtkSMOutputPort.cxx, looks like this FAQ needs to be updated to refer to environment variable PV_LOCK_SAFE. Seems like the variable was changed ages ago.

As mentioned, the name for the environment variable was changed in ParaView 2.* itself.

Trusting Utkarsh. If this is still broken, please reopen.
