Selecting types of locations for transfer parameters

Recipe editor
You can now select types of locations from all the available locations (local and remote) in the
recipe editor for transfer parameters (source, destination and via), from those created by
default or those from user-defined allocations.
Difference between standard and user-defined allocation
The difference in the allocations is that reference can only made to available and unavailable
units in the local Process Cell in the standard allocations, whereas reference can also be made
to unavailable units of remote Process Cells in the user-defined allocations.
Allocation strategy
Depending on the allocation strategy, all standard allocations are always offered for the transfer
parameters, whereas user-defined allocations are only offered with the "Preferred unit" and
"Process parameters" allocation strategies. The "The longest out of use" (late binding) and
"Operator dialog" allocation strategies are not offered, since the actual location and therefore
the unit must be specified for the transfer parameter at the time the batch is released.

Specifying the properties of the library objects

Properties of steps and transitions
The properties of the steps and transitions within the library objects are entered in the relevant
properties dialogs in the same way as with master recipes:
● Setting the properties of steps (Page 564)
● Set the properties for transitions (Page 570)
Properties of the recipe header parameters
The header parameters of the library operation in hierarchical recipes differ from those of
master recipes only in the following way:
Unit class
A library operation is always created for a specific unit class. When you create a recipe in the
BATCH Recipe Editor, the unit class is referenced in the "General" tab of the properties dialog.
