Create Operation

The Create operation contains the following options:

• Rendezvous 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) —The location for storing a Boolean value that indicates whether the Synchronization object already exists.
• Rendezvous Reference Lifetime —A lifetime for 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.
• Number of Threads Per Rendezvous —The number of threads that must rendezvous before the step permits the threads to continue execution past the rendezvous point. This value must be greater than zero. If you know the rendezvous already exists, you may leave this setting blank. If you specify a value different than the setting in the existing rendezvous, the step reports a run-time error.
