Multi-Processor Help

Hello,

I was wondering it it is possible to send an item to a port by case value and by percentage?
So the end result would be, the Multi-Processor would only send a certain percentage of a particular item to a port. The remaining percentage would be sent to a different port.

Davie,

I am not sure if I understand your questions right, but there is a pick option in the Send To Port which is called By Percentage (inputs).

I would think, if you use this code modify it, it would do the job.

You could do something like that you use a switch statement depending on the item type.

int iItemType = getitemtype(item);
switch(iItemType)
{
          case 1:
          {
                      // insert whole code for percentage
                      // or use example below
                      break;
          }
          case 2:
          {
                      // insert whole code for percentage
                      // or use example below
                      break;
          }
          default:
          {
                      msg(getname(current),"Unexpected switch case!"); stop();
                      break;
          }
}

Maybe this (// insert whole code for percentage) is not the most elegant way, because parts of the code are several times in it, but you could make this code more general. I think of using e.g. a Global Table for the percentage and depending ports for every itemype and just read in the right cell.

Or depending on the number of cases you have you could also build your own logic for the different itemtypes like
return bernoulli(50,1,2);

or using instead of bernoulli() dempirical() and a Global Table for the ‘// or use example below part’ in the above example.

Okay, this is not a finished solution but hopefully gives you some hints to figure out a solution for you. If you have any problems or more questions, just feel free to ask.

Good success.

Thanks Tom,

I think that I figure out my problem by using Flow Nodes instead. Now I am pulling certain items in the Flow Node from the "Flow" tab. I've noticed that you can only pull one item at a time, so I tried using this following logic code

Specify Itemtype
Itemtype: 2||3||4||5||6||7||8||9||10

Though I do not get any error, this doesn't seem to work.
I am sure it is possible to 'pull' more than one item, I'm just not sure how to code it.

Kindly ignore the above post.
I continued playing around until I found the Range of Itemtypes

But thanks for reading, you guys are nothing but great!
