Breakdown After 100 Cycle?

Hi Team,

I am having counter label to count number of cycle completed. How can I apply breakdown after every 100 cycle using process flow?

I am looking for option where token gets generated based on label value.

Also, please let me know if any other better way to do it.

Thank you!

I assume the count label is present on a processor or similar object?

My suggestions would be to either listen to every event that also updates the label in an event-triggered source in the process flow. The created token can then check the label value. If it is not a multiple of 100, the token is send directly into a sink.

Or you have the processor send a message to itself when the label is increased to a multiple of 100 and react to that message in the process flow.

Hi @Felix Möhlmann,

I like the way you have modelled it.

But I am only using 3D processor for label reference, there is no flow item in 3D. Model is build using process flow activities. I am using preemption activity set for breakdown. So, this exit trigger will not be applicable in my case.

I am incrementing the label value when token passes through process flow activities and I want to create token in breakdown flow when it reaches to 100.

Is there anyway to create token in this way?

Or do I need to change my approach?

First I am building the model logic using process flow, later I will link it to 3D flow.

Thank you!

Then instead of reacting to the exit event of the processor in the event-triggered source, you react to a token exiting any of the activities that increment the label.
