How to detect if specific resource is aqcuired by code?

Hi,

I would like to ask how can I detect if specific resource is already acquired by code or in another way in decide block? There is a situation in my model that I try to acquire a resource that is already acquired by that object and it stays in this position and the token is not released until it acquires it once again which is impossible.

Thank you.

Martin,

rather than a decide activity, just try another acquire with a max wait timer of zero and a destination 2, when timer is fired:

With these settings, if the resource can be acquired successfully, the token will proceed through connector 1, but if the resource cannot be acquired immidiately (meaning it is acquired somewhere else), the token leaves through connector 2.

Is this what you were looking for?
