Initializing ThreadWork
Each ThreadWorker instance can expect to have its initializeThreadWork() method called once by the framework before any actual work is to be performed. This method may be implemented to do any setup necessary for that thread's execution, most commonly output files opened or variables initialized.
Warning:
It is very important that any setup necessary to execute a WorkUnit is done here and not in the creation of JobWork, this includes accessing batch parameters. There is no guarantee that static variables set at the time of JobWork creation will be available at this time. The framework may be calling ThreadWork in a different process from the creation of JobWork.
