How can I adjust the provision of an agent in Any Logic? - anylogic

I am trying to assemble a product which is made of two components (agents). The challenge is to release the second agent only when the first component has arrived into the assembly block. Does anyone know how to do this?

Access lastScheduledTime from cron workflow

I'm trying to implement automatic backfills in Argo workflows, and one of the last pieces of the puzzle I'm missing is how to access the lastScheduledTime field from my workflow template.
I see that it's part of the template, and I see it getting updated each time a workflow is scheduled, but I can't find a way to access it from my template to calculate how many executions I might have missed since the last time the scheduler was online.
Is this possible? Or maybe, is this the best way to implement this functionality on Argo?

Feature State Updating Automatically

Feature cycle time is a very important metric, but in ADO there doesn't seem to be a way to get the State of a Feature to automatically update when the first story moves into Active (or the last child is closed). Does anyone know of a way to have this happen?
No, that will never happen. This area for custom application and solutions. You can try the following:
TFS Aggregator
Write your own solution through rest api: Automation of state changing for Azure DevOps work items based on states of child work items
Use additional solutions: Automation of state changing with Azure Logic App

How can I connect two agents?

I am very new to Anylogic and am trying to send/receive information between agents, but not sure how to accomplish that. Attached please find an image which shows connections between agents. It also shows two-way connections between agents and dependent variables 1.
What parameters/settings does one need to change to develop such a diagram?
So far I have tried embedding a dynamic variable inside the agent and then drawing a connector between the agent and a dependent variable - but doing so replaces the agent icon with a dynamic variable icon.
you cannot connect agents graphically with connectors (except in special cases).
Normally, you use the "Agent Link" objects to establish agent connections and send messages. In short, you do the following:
drag it into agent type 1
Set it up to connect to agent type 2
when it asks to create a corresponding Agent Link object in type 2, agree
Now, you have a way to connect agents using the agent link object.
Do check the AnyLogic help and tutorials on that, there is a lot of info on how to use them.

how to start developing with OpenText CASE360

I'm the beginner of Case and workflow management and want to use OpenText CASE360 create a simple task can anyone advise me how to create/design/implement etc.
first have a local set up of case360.
Choose a POC topic for the same. and start to build the components step by step.
starting with Casefolder, Process, Queries.etc
Start to build components individually and then try connecting each of them.
The help document covers every topic in details

Hosting a Workflow in an MVVM application

I'm designing a MVVM application that does not use WPF or Silverlight. It will simply present web pages in HTML5, styled with CSS3.
The domain is a perfect case for using WF because it involves a number of activities in a long-running process. Specifically, I am tracking the progress of interactions with a customer over a 30 day period and that involves filling out various forms at points along the way, getting approvals from a supervisor at certain times, and making certain that the designated order of activities is followed and is executed correctly.
Each activity will normally be represented by a form on a view designed to capture the desired information at that step. Stated differently, the view that a user sees will be determined by where she is in the workflow at that moment.
My research so far has turned up examples where the workflow is used to execute business logic in accordance with the flowchart that defines it.
In my situation, I need for a user to login then pick up where she left off in the workflow (for example, some new external event has occurred and she needs to fill out the form for that or move forward in the workflow to that step.)
And I need to support the case where the supervisor logs in and can basically be presented with activities that need approval at that time.
So... it seems to me that a WF solution might be appropriate, but maybe the way I want to use it is inverted - like the cart pulling the horse so to speak.
I'd appreciate any insight that anyone here can offer.
Thanks - Steve
I have designed an app similar to yours, actually based on WPF, but the screens shown by the application are actually driven by workflows.
I use a task-based approach. I have some custom activities that create user tasks on a DB. There are different type of tasks, one for every different form type that the application supports. When the workflow reaches one of these special activities, the task is saved to DB and the WF goes idle (bookmark).
Once the user submits the form, the wf is resumed up to the point where another user task is reached and so on.
Tasks can be assigned to different users along the way (final user, supervisor, ..) and they have a pending tasks list where they can resume previous wf instances, etc.
Then, to generate user views (HTML5 forms in your case) you have to read the pending task and translate that into the corresponding form.
Hope you find it useful
