Transformation Synchronizations (ILM)

A transformation synchronization enables the synchronization of control flows between two or more concurrent actions.

In the following example, the output flows of the Friday decision and of the Sales Central DataWarehouse task are synchronized into one output flow, which goes to the Sales Data Mart task execution:

A transformation synchronization can be either a:

Fork – Splits a single input flow into several independent output flows executed in parallel:
Join – Merges multiple input flows into a single output flow. All input flows must reach the join before the single output flow continues:

Creating a Transformation Synchronization
You can create a transformation synchronization in any of the following ways:
Transformation Synchronization Properties
You can modify an object's properties from its property sheet. To open a transformation synchronization property sheet, double-click its diagram symbol or its Browser entry in the Transformation Synchronizations folder.
