Is it possible to set queue batch size by value taken from Global Table?

set-queue-batch-size-as-value-from-global-table.fsm

Dear FlexSim Team and Users,

I have a Global Table with a parameter and I want to set queue batch size by value taken from this parameter. Is is possible to do it in FlexSim (in Queue object parameter "Target Batch Size" I am able to enter a number only).

Regards,

Jack

P.S. Please see the attached model - I would like to set the parameter "Target Batch Size" from "processor1_output_queue" by the value from Global Table "parameters" (the only value in this table).

J.

I see the answer below. Is there a way to have a string of Queues to set to the value of the first Queue? Possible a code to get batch size from Queue1?

You can use the picklist option of 'Update Queue's Batch Size' onEntry trigger in the Queue.

The commands for it are 'gettablenum("tablename", row, col) and setvarnum(objectname, "batchsize", value). The value is gettablenum("tablename", row, col).

@Jacek Diakun (or anyone else with the answer) I was referencing this answer for a project that I need to do a similar option. I couldn't see the "Update Queue's Batch Size" in the pick list. Was that option removed on a new update?

Is there a new way to accomplish this task?

code snippet in Queue Trigger:

current.attrs.variables.subnodes["batchsize"].value = 7

or

current.find(">variables/batchsize").value = 7

or

setvarnum(current,"batchsize",7)

or you are waiting until the option will be updated in a next release.
