Dispatcher and Global table
Guide me to solve this situation using dispatcher.
1.Transporter 1 & Transporter 2 are connected to dispatcher. 2. A global table will contain operator number as input against each task.(task can be collecting from given queue). 3. The dispatcher should assign required transporter for the task as mentioned in global table. I have attached the global table with this. I was able to achieve this without using dispatcher, by connecting the operators to all queues and referring global table under request transporter. |

Why use a dispatcher if the tasks are already destined for a particular operator??????
Dispatcher is only useful if tasks are dispatched to a group of operators that have a combined queue of tasks. If you don't want to make all the connection use a global variable to refer to your operators and send the tasksequence directly |

Dear Hamoen,
The purpose of using the dispatcher is to check whether a transporter has completed the assigned task (in given queue) and on completion he need to be allotted for the next task (another new queue) in the global table. I have missed to mention the purpose using the dispatcher in previous post. |

The transporter also stores the request it get, so if it is finished with a task it will automatically take the next one in it's tasksequencequeue.
So I don't understand the need for a dispatcher? |

What I have posted is only part of my problem. What I am trying to find is how to assign the transporters using global table.
