Processor Input with Empty Queue

[ellalayton]

[ FlexSim 23.2.0 ]

I have a source outputting to 2 queues based on percentage. These two queues output to a single processor also by percentage. This setup works exactly how I need it to until one of the queues is empty. When one of the queues reaches a content of 0, the processor stops pulling input from either queue. How do I make the processor pull 100% from one queue after the second queue is empty?

You can edit the code of the By Percentage option. After the port number has been determined, check if the respective queue actually contains an item.

If not, you return 0 (pull from any port). If yes, you return the port number.
