    Syntax

    openInParallelToAppend(obj,destination)

    Description

    openInParallelToAppend(obj,destination) opens the location specified by destination on a parallel worker in preparation for appending blocks. This function is only invoked when the UseParallel argument of apply enables parallel processing.

    openToWrite is guaranteed to have been called once on a corresponding destination value earlier on a separate instance of the adapter in the main MATLAB® session. A copy of the adapter is made for each parallel worker and openInParallelToAppend is called once before subsequent setIOBlock. The adapter uses the AlternateFileSystemRoots property of the blocked image to resolve destination on the worker.

    An adapter that implements this method must be able to support multiple adapter instances (one on each parallel worker) appending blocks to the same destination simultaneously. This is usually handled by writing independent files for each block in a single destination folder.
