At a decision Point in the Conveyor, how do we resume the item once it's stopped? The Normal DP triggers are not working once the item is stopped. I tried to use process flows, but that is giving ASCII code error. If I try to use for/while loop for rechecking the conditions until fulfilled, the system goes not responding. I need some help to solve this
1. Normal Decision point stop/resume Triggers
2. The Process flow and custom code used
ASCII code error
1. The DP trigger will only fire once - eg. on arrival - it's not continually checked.
2. Have you tried placing a breakpoint to debug the custom code?
It looks like you've lifted some code for resuming an item and it relies on the label on the DP called otheritem. If you haven't set that then the resume code will not know which item to resume.
It would be better to use a process flow for the OnArrival and have that stop the item if needed and wait for the condition to resume - then the token will have a reference for the item to resume already.
If you have multiple entry/exit points for your loops you could event use the same process for all of them and have a zone to control the entry.
Thanks for taking our attention to the Wait for Event activity. I used the process flow and send the token via conditional decide therefore using only the relevant tokens in the flow.
Also, Checked the box, "Fire if initial value meets the rule"
It has worked once, I will do more iterations with it.
