I have queue, 3 different item types are arriving at a queue from 3 sources. I want only one queue for 3 sources. Further from queue I want to divert these 3 items to the 3 respective processors. How can I do that? Like for 2 items, I can do send to port as By Expression.
Dear Prathmesh,
Use single Source and single Queue with 3 type items and select By Expression in flow tab dropdown menu.
I want to use one queue for all 3 sources, Is it possible that way?
Yes......u can use one queue by selecting First Available in the Send to Port dropdown menu.
Hi. You can still use Port By Expression and use the default option of item.type. In your sources, make sure you set the item type, for example using the "Set Item Type" or "Set Item Type And Color" options.
Please see the attached demo model send-to-processor-by-item-type.fsm in which I have only changed the Send To Port of the Queue and the On Creation triggers of the Sources.
