Control strategy This is where you can specify whether the user data type will be used ex‐
clusively as control strategy data type.
Created by Specification of the application that created the object, either SIMATIC
BATCH PCell Control Center or SIMATIC Manager:
● If a type object was created by SIMATIC Manager, additional subobjects
cannot be added, nor can the selected object be deleted or changed,
either via the PCC API or with the PCC configuration dialog.
● If an instance object was created by SIMATIC Manager, additional
subobjects can be added via the PCC API or with the PCC configuration
dialog. However, it is still not possible to delete or change the selected
object here.

Update All batch instances are adapted according to the batch types. This action
is always required if a change has been made to batch types of existing
batch instances (e.g., inserting a new parameter, changing the unit of
measure, etc.).
New A new "User data type parameter" subobject is created below the selected
"User data type" object.
Delete The user data type object can be deleted here. Deletion is only possible if
the selected object is not in use.
