Interpreting Blocked %
Hi I need help to interpret the blocked % in a Source. As far as I know, the block % indicate the % of time where flowitem is not able to release. However if you use an arrival schedule to release flowitem, the blocked % do include those flowitem that was not released due to the schedule.
Is this a correct interpretation? If a flowitem is not yet time to release, do we consider them as blocked? Please advise. David

I think there's an omission in the Source object's code which is causing a problem with the blocked state for the scheduled arrivals case. I've sent a note to the dev team to take a look.

If you like you could set the source state to STATE_GENERATING in the onExit trigger if the content is 1. That will ensure it doesn't remain blocked when it has successfully sent all it's generated flowitems.
