ResourceTaskStart

Defines the start of the flowchart branch modeling the task process for resource units (usually it is a resource preparation process).
In the figure below you can see the example of the preparation task. The task flowchart starts with the
ResourceTaskStart
block and ends when the connector goes into the lower port of the
Seize
block that initiated this task.

Parameters
- Unit type
[dynamic]
- The type of
resource units
performing the task. This resource type is referred to below as
T.
Default value:
Agent
- Start here
- Here you specify whether all the resource units will start the task, or only some specific ones.
All the resources -
all the resources seized by the
Seize
block that initiated this task, start performing this task.
Specific resources
-
only some particular resources from the seized set, start this task.
Syntax:
boolean defaultUnitsStart
Default value:
true
- Resource pool
[dynamic]
- [Visible if
Start here
is defined as
Specific resources] - Here you can choose the particular
ResourcePool, whose resource units will start this task.
-
Actions
- On enter
[code]
- Code executed when the resource unit enters this
ResourceTaskStart
block.
Local variable:
T unit
- the resource unit
- On remove
[code]
- Code executed when the resource unit is intentionally removed from this block by calling the unit's function
remove(). This code is automatically executed after the
remove()
function call.
Local variable:
T
unit
- the resource unit
Functions
int size()
- Returns the number of units currently pending transmission in this block (which haven't yet been consumed by subsequent flowchart blocks).
long count()
- Returns the number of resource units entered this flowchart block.
void take(T unit)
- Inserts the given resource unit in the process flow by outputting it via the
out
port.
Iterator
iterator()
- Returns the iterator over resource units currently pending transmission in this block (which has not yet been consumed by subsequent flowchart blocks) - in their
take()
order.
Ports
- out
- The output port.
