Hi
I'm looking for a setup which can provide me the following functionality of duplicating atoms. It is something I have rutinely done in another simualtion program, but i'm not quite sure how to do it most effectively in ED:
1. One atom is genererated from a source
2. That atom goes into a queue, where a logic specifies the number of times the atom must be iterated (eg the number of products controlled in an inventory replenishemtn system
3. The atom is lead into a splitter, where it duplicates
4. One of the now two identical atoms are lead into the rest of the system ( eg. production system) wheras the other returns to the previously mentioned queue
5. the atom continious this iteration until the number of iteration is meet.
I have tried the obvious solution of using the splitter, but it does not work as it should and returns erros regarding "duplicate attribute names".

Ha Thore,
Have you considered using the Batch functionality of the server atom (second tab)? Here you indicate that you have 1 in, B out and you can specify the batch size by directly referring to the label on the original product.
I hope this helps you.

Harry
