How to set object flow
Accepted solution
@Delano
Based on your description, I have created a simple model, with Processor A having two outputs to Processor B1 and Processor B2.
In the properties of Processor A, I set the Send to Port logic to Conditional Port, with the condition as follows:
current.stats.output.value % 7 < 3
What this condition does is that it will take the value of Processor A's output, modulo by 7 (getting the remainder of the division), and check if the remainder value is less than 3:
- If the remainder value is less than 3, send the object to port 1 (Processor B1), else
- Send the object to port 2 (Processor B2)
Sorry, maybe my explanation is not detail enough, how about if i have conveyor connected the processor, Thanks~
Good Day @Delano,
What you can do is add a Decision Point before each of the Processors, and connect it to the respective ExitTransfer (connected to the Processor).
In the Source, create an On Creation Trigger (Data > Set Label and Color), with the following logic.
current.stats.output.value % 7 < 3 ? 1 : 2
is the ternary operatior of (same as):
if(current.stats.output.value % 7 < 3) {
return 1;
} else {
return 2;
}The first three items created in Source will have a label "Type" of value 1, and the next four items will have a label "Type" of value 2.
For the 3 Decision Points, create an On Arrival Trigger (Send Item), and leave the first Decision Point's logic as default.
Change the Condition in Send Item logic for the other 2 Decision Points as follows:
Decision Point near Processor B1: item.Type == 1 Decision Point near Processor B2: item.Type == 2
This ensures that for every 7 items created, the first 3 items (Type 1) will go to Processor B1, and the next 4 items (Type 2) will go to Processor B2.
Hope this helps.
