Hi,

perhaps you can open the source code and read the comments.
here a short example:
Quote:
//assumes a dispatcher is connected to center port 1 (the dispatcher should be connected to two or more taskexecuters).

Unhappy Need help in getting a 4 wheel hydraulic hand "trolley"

hy sir,

Thanks for your reply sir, i had checked the comments of your reply sir, but i couldn't solve it. actually i had edited the source code from centerobject(current,1) to centerobject(current,2) because they are 4 operators and 2 queues which are connected as:
the 2 operators carry 1 itemtype to one queue and
the other 2 operators carry another itemtype to another queue.
the operators arent moving at all.

and another problem that i am facing is couldn't get a 4 wheel hydraulic hand "trolley" as TE which looks like the file that i have attached.

please someone help me...

thank you

Hi sravan,

Here is other method but you need two dispatcher objects in this case.Connect each dispatcher object to two taskexecuters.In the send to port send items to port1 if it is itemtype 1and so with itemtype 2.In the Use transport dropdown list select the picklist option Multiple transport option.

hy sir

thanks for your reply jorg vogel sir and sagar bolosetti sir. it helped me to solve the problem.

i have a question which is linked to above question that is, when 2 operators who work with the help of forklift using both the above stated methods,
In coordinate method when i am trying to solve the problem it is always showing an error on null tasksequence of 1 operator and when i recheck it the operator or the forklift shows the same error of null TS. I have connected dispatcher with
center port1 => source, center port2=>forklift, centreport3=>destination point.

IN multiple transport method all the 3 members are moving but i need only the forklift to carry load and both the operators must move along with the forklift.

please help me sir's.

thank you
