Multiprocessor multiple operators issue.

In my settings for a multiprocessor, on one process I am trying to utilize 2 cranes. However I run into the issue where it gets stuck waiting for operator. The first crane works well, but not the second.

Any ideas how to fix it? I have a work around to use a coordinated subflow, but using that I'm not sure how to pass the priorities to the crane/dispatcher.

Hmm I'm not sure why it's getting stuck. Though I think you'll have better luck with the Process Flow. Instead of using a dispatcher, have you considered using a group for the crane. Then you can set your own priorities in the Process Flow logic. (I'm not familiar with your model, so I'm not sure I know what priorities you mean.) But you can use queries in Acquire activities or you could use a List which has Age and Distance as default fields you can query, and you can also reference group members directly by their rank in the group.

I have attached your model with the changes I have made do it.twocranesmultiprocessor1.fsm

1. Since you are using two cranes for the second process(Roof plate), use "multiple teams" in the pick operator field. I think this way you can overcome the issue.

2. First, add a label field in the resource list and then use a query in acquire activity, this way you can pass priorities to the cranes.

I hope this is what you are trying to achieve.
