Problem with flow after using open/close port commands

Hi, I send batches to a processing area and I want when a batch enter no other do it untill this is completely out of the area so what a do is send messages to a queue when the batch enters and when it's completely out to close and open ports respectively but next to the first batch no other can get into the area. Please help me to restore the flow of batches to the area.

Thanks in advance. i'm not too expert on this.

Software Version:

FlexSim 17.1.4

DO NOT USE open and close PORTs. You can close and open the input or output of objects, you can stop and resume objects, but never use open and close ports, only if you exactly knows what will happen in the Flexsim engine and in combination with the fluid objects you can use opening and closing ports.

Please read the manual for the keyword closeop.

If you depend on to send objects to specified ports, then you can use the function Send To to achieve this. If you need to break a connection to an object, place a queue between the two objects and manipulate the input or output of the queue.
