Hi Team,
I have 10 arrival slots available as below:
How to choose 5 slots randomly daily basis?
Thank you!

Here's another possibility with custom code. In the source activity, we set a label "keep". At the beginning of each cycle, we shuffle an array with possible paths and then assign them to each token based upon it's index. This code can be found in the Source activity under the Custom Code value.test1.fsm
Hi @Kavika F,
Thanks for your answer!
Since we are defining the array manually with 10 elements, I don't feel it is having scalability if we are changing number of slots.
Thank you!
Did you want scalability? If so, please mention that in your original post next time. It will help us a lot in the future to answer your questions if you include all the details you have so we can accurately solve your problem instead of solving small portions at a time and jig-sawing them together.
The attached file uses a Global Table to evaluate Arrival and Departure times for each token. First, change the Source quantity to produce the total number of items to be delivered that day (5). The Assign Labels activity does 5 things:
1. Assigns a random Label to the token (1-10)
2. Looks at the Global table to find the Arrival/Departure times
3. Converts both Arrival and Departure times into seconds
4. Calculates correct arrival time in the model
5. Calculates Processing time (between arrival and departure)
The first delay activity waits for each arrival time to be reached (DelayTime for each). The second delay lasts for the Processing Duration.
Does this answer your question?
Sorry about that. Here is some of the data I used in my example.
The Assign Labels Activity:
The DelayTime Custom Code:
/**Custom Code*/
Object current = param(1);
treenode activity = param(2);
Token token = param(3);
Variant assignTo = param(4);
string labelName = param(5);
treenode processFlow = ownerobject(activity);
DateTime dt = DateTime(token.ArrDateTime);
DateTime sdt = DateTime.compose(
Model.startDateTime.year,
Model.startDateTime.month,
Model.startDateTime.day
);
DateTime dt2 = dt - (Model.startDateTime - sdt);
return dt2;
The Model Layout:
And the Global Table:
Hope this helps.
