When the downstream object of a processor is fully occupied, the state of the processor would be "blocked" even when there is still other flow item being processed.
I would like to know how I can determine whether there is still flow item being processed or process of all items have been finished in process flow. Thanks!
This depends how you build your logic. If you upload a model, it is getting significantly easier to help you.
Qty. of running machines (in global table) is incorrectly displayed because that.
To check an object for any flowitems in it you can use the following syntax:
Model.find("Processor_Name").subnodes.length
If that returns a value > 0, then there is/are flowitems in the object.
Dear Nordgren,
When 1 of the items on processor is being blocked, the state of the processor would change to "blocked".
In the case as shown below, there are 3 items on processor. Only 1 of them has completed the process. The other 2 is still being processed.
I can get the result of "3" with subnodes.length, but how can I determine if they are still being processed?
Thanks

@leungch, You can add a small process flow block to track the items that are still processing:
This will listen to the "On Entry" event of the processor, wait for the "On Process Finish" trigger, then sink.
Please see the attached model
