Operators not moving after acquired and told to travel.

multiple-resources.fsm

I have a process flow for a fixed resource. I want all 4 operators to go to the processor, but when I run the program only one operator travels and he isn't released.

Hi Felix,

If you tell the "Acquire" activity to acquire more than one resource, it will just create an array of the resources which probably isn't what you want. To acquire multiple resources at the same time, you can create more than one token in the "Source" activity (4 in your case), then only set the "Acquire" for one at a time. All of your resources will then be utilized.

@Adrian Haws I have another issue coming up now. I added 4 tokens like you said in my subflow. It calls the operators and they move, but the box is not moving off of the processor in 3D model. Any ideas why it's stuck

@Felix Sims

So in the Basic Fixed Resource that you're using, you basically need to set up all of the logic yourself. The box is entering the BasicFR through the "On Listener Initialized" in the first "Wait for Event" activity in Process Flow. You can either set up logic to make the box leave the BasicFR, or you can use a fixed resource with default logic (such as a processor or queue).
