Create Operation

The Create operation contains the following options:

• Batch Name Expression —A unique name for the Synchronization object using a literal string or an expression that evaluates to a string. You can use the name attribute of synchronization objects to perform synchronization operations between executions within a single process or between separate processes and computers.
• Already Exists? (optional output) —A location to store a Boolean value that indicates whether the Synchronization object already exists.
• Batch Reference Lifetime —The lifetime of the reference to the Synchronization object.
  • Same as Sequence —Releases the object reference after the sequence executes.
  • Same as Thread —Releases the object reference after the thread completes.
  • Same as Execution —Releases the object reference after the execution completes.
  • Use Object Reference —Use this option when you want to explicitly control the lifetime of the object reference or when you want to refer to the object using an object reference variable.
• Default Batch Synchronization —The default method of batch synchronization to use with the Batch object. This setting affects the per-step batch synchronization setting when the Batch Synchronization setting on the Synchronization tab of the Step Properties dialog box of a step is set to Use model setting or Use sequence file setting and when the Batch Synchronization setting of the sequence file is set to Use model setting . Per-step batch synchronization regards each step as if it is within its own synchronized section of the type you specify.
