 Because it is possible, and usual, to run multiple versions of {{{loader.py}}} (in order to speed up loading time), the method to begin processing a new batch is part of a critical section. This simply means that the 'batch' table in the {{{ippToPsps}}} database is locked by a client looking for a new item to process, then released afterwards, ensuring that two separate {{{loader.py}}} instances do not attempt to process the same item. 
+
+=== Creating and publishing an 'IN' batch ===
+
+Once special use of {{{loader.py}}} is when it is necessary to create an initialization batch, used when created a new PSPS survey. {{{loader.py}}}  is run the usual way, but with one extra argument, like this:
+
+{{{
+./run.sh loader.py someConfig init
+}}}
+
+This will produce an IN batch, publish it, then stop (the IN-batch MySQL tables will also be updated in the local scratch database).
