configuration queue & process flow

The maximum content of queue 2 is 4, how can I make respect the configuration of queue 2, when I use process flow?

example queue.fsm

You cannot! Process Flow is a logic level above 3D modeling parameters. You are responsible to read parameters of 3D model objects yourself. Then you can build conditions in Process Flow which are taking into account those restrictions.

Here is an example of how this could be done: The token checks the current content of the queue against its max. content property in the decide activity. If there is no space, it is send to a 'Wait for Event' activity and waits until an item leaves Queue2 before continuing.

Note: If it's a mixed case (process flow and port flow for example) then you should also be checking the nroftransportsin variable of the queue).
