Resume Task sequence after being preempted

The title is confusing so here is the description.. another simple thing I am trying to do here is that I have two operators working and sharing work-load amongst themselves for a number of multiprocessors. In a particular case operator one will receive a preempting task sequence. I am using preempt value as 1 and I have connected operator 1 to operator 2 using an A connection (1>2) so that when operator 1 is called for preempting task sequence operator 2 can take over the workload (task-sequences) from it.
To stop the multiprocessor on which operator 1 is working when it gets the preempting Task-Sequence, I set a code on the onrecievets trigger of operator 1 such that it runs a stop object command on the current multiprocessor.
Once this multiprocessor is stopped I believe operator 1 hands over this task-sequence to operator 2. Operator 2 does go to the multiprocessor (does the travel task) but is not able to end the stopobject command. The original task sequence is has a milestone task at the beginning and stoprequestfinish task is within the range.
Maybe I am missing something or doing it all wrong. In any case the model is attached. And I am using user commands instead of writing the code on pick options. Only bed 4,5,6 are working and bed 4 has a prempting TS.

have you set the same reference in the stopobject command as in the preemted stoprequestfinish task ? maybe it is a good idea to copy the reference from the tasksequence to the stopobject command. Only if the reference match the object resumes.

Yes, I have set the stopobject command on the same object where I want to resume it.. If you see in the attached model, I have retrieved the multiprocessor treenode where op 1 is currently working on the onrecievetasksequence trigger and if a preempting ts is received op1 runs a stopobject command on this bed and attends to the preempting task sequence.

I am also wondering how op 1 then sends the ts to op 2.. I tried putting a stop (that red thing on the side of a code) on the pas to logic of op 1 to see how it exactly transfers the ts to op2, but the model does not stop.. so when exactly is the passto trigger fired ?? How and where can I see how op 1 transfers its ts to op 2 when it receives a preempting TS.

Hello Arjun,

do you have enabled debugging?

Ok, I turned it on. But what now ?

I seem to have found a work around.. I destroy the previous TS which was being preempted by op1 and instead I wrote another task sequence for operator 2 on the onrecievetasksequence trigger for op1. The model is attached. if any one has a better solution please share.

Now, if you run the model, the run stops at the red point next to the code row you set the point.

That was happening before as well. Would you mind checking the latest model that I posted. It seems to work. Check the onrecievetasksequence trigger on op1. Its a work around I know, but let me know if there is a better solution.

When I say op 1 I mean POD1_1.. Sorry for that confusion

I have attched a very simple standard model which does what you want:
An Operater takes over the job from another Operator. An explanation is in the Information of Processor3.
