Hello All,
I want to give priority for the re-entering token after 1st pass if it requires 2nd pass for processing. I have a label (NP_Pass) for no of passes required and a decide which tells the token to go forward to the next zone(Zone2) or perform 2nd pass in the same machine.
But when my token re-enters the zone for 2nd pass it goes last in the queue.
I found a solution that works, based on the additional criteria we spoke over the phone about. It's a little tricky, but here's the solution.
First I created a Priority label on the tokens, which initially is just based on the row number. (First in first out kind of thing.) Then the Zone, the More Properties, under the Advanced tab I created a queue strategy, which is just a query to order in ascension the tokens by the Priority label.
ORDER BY Priority ASC
Now to get the repeats to supersede the Priority of the next component type, but to also to be placed AFTER the other components of its Type that have not yet passed through their first time, I wrote a script that will calculate where the priority should go. Basically it's a "while loop" that determines how many parts are left to process of the same type as the current part, and adds that number to it's priority, and calculates where it should be to sit after the last of it's batch but before going on to the next part type.
