In the model Processor 1, 5, 6 are pulling parts from a list. What I want to do is stop the pull condition if Queue 5, 6, 7 are full (max content) respectively. I tried using triggers but while its closing and opening the ports its not stopping the pull condition by processor. I don't want a part to be waiting on processor.
Hi @poopatel,
It's hard to know how to help without looking at your model. To receive a more accurate solution, please post your model or a sample model that demonstrates your question.

Hello @poopatel
I added a condition on the pull from list that checks the queue content is below its max content.
When this condition fails the processor will not pull from the list. The processor will need to be prompted when to pull items again. To accomplish this, I added a trigger to the last processor to tell the processor to receive an item.
Thank you, it works!!!
Just one more query that I have is what if I am also pushing items in Queue 6 and 7 to a list and processor 2 and 3 will pull from that list will the logic still work ?? or do I need to change the location of trigger to tell the processor 5 and 6 to receive an item.
