Different Operators on same Queue

Hi!

I have a model with many processors and one queue. This one queue stores the same item which is used for different processors in a certain sequence. I want different operators to take and bring these items from and to the queue.

How can I do this with the center-port option?

The attached image doesn't seem to work...

@dominik.k,

You have a few options here. One is to use a Group or List. Another option is to use a Dispatcher. I set up a simple example that utilizes a Dispatcher to call on one of four operators. I hope I understood your question correctly. This way, you use the same center port connection to access all of the operators.

The operators need to be on output connections from the dispatcher - not centerports.
