When I acquire my resource (Group - Operators - total of 8) and then track states over time I see that operator 1 and then so on are used up close to 100%. Then the extra operators (maybe around operator 5) are almost never used. How can I put a cap on their usage so at 75% usage that operator cannot be used until all 8 are used up 75%? Can a dispatcher be used for this activity?
I must assume your logic is process flow. The acquire activity has the opportunity to query the resources by a sql clause. If you ORDER BY a statistical state value you can let work all operators. You can acquire the operator that has the highest idle time value.
I built a model that chooses the operator with the lowest total utilize time. The utilize time value is a field in the resource activity of the advanced parameters.
double totalTime = value.as(Object).stats.state().getTotalTimeAt("utilize");
I called the field name as totalTimeInUtilize.
The SQL Clause is in the acquire activity
ORDER BY totalTimeInUtilize ASC
