Is it possible for me to hold the flowitems in a queue for a period of time after 20 items flows into the queue?
For example, a show can only starts when there are 20 customers.
You close the output of the Queue in OnEntry Trigger
green plus icon Control > Close and Open Ports
- Action: closeoutput
- Object: current
- Condition :
content(current) < 20
You add another template through the green plus icon in the template editor at same trigger.
Control > Close and Open Ports
- Action: openoutput
- Object: current
- Condition :
content(current) >= 20
If you need the condition gets fulfilled only at special times you add a label at the queue and evaluate the label value in the condition.
content(current) <= 20 || myAddedLabelName == 1
You change the label value to 1 whenever you don't want that the minimum content hasn't any effect. If the minimum content must be evaluated you set label to a value different to 1.
