How can I use fmincon into the SPMD when the parameters of objective function differs from on workers to another?

Hello everyone,
the overall structure of my code is here:
%some parameters are defined before
%exclusive values for parameters for each workers are defined
%for exapmle, "u" is a parameter in cell array that each cell belongs to a worke: u{1} for worker 1
spmd
for
fun=@(x) norm(x-u)
fmincon
%other calculations based on the output of fmincon that provides "u" for the next itteration
end
end
when the fun is in the spmd block, I face the error of anonymous funtion that says I can not define the function into the spmd.
if the dunction goes out of the spmd, there is no more access to the workers data (calculated "u" in the example).
can anyone say how can handle this problem?

Why not just use parfeval?

You can use spmd to create the u data on the workers, but then use a parfor loop to do the optimizations.
spmd
u=labindex; %create composite
end
c=parallel.pool.Constant(u);
parfor i=1:numel(u)
uValue=c.Value
fun=@(x) (x-uValue).^2;
w{i}=fmincon(fun,0);
end

let me make my last comment clear by a question: In the parfor loop, can I tell to a worker to stop if some conditions are met? while the others continue to computations.
about the parfval; I have not used it so far, I'll give it a try to see how it works and if it can be helpful. thanks.
