When to use Change Combiner's batch (Queue) ..?

Hi!

It is not clear to me the Trigger > On End Collecting> Change Combiner's batch quantity to this object's batch. What is this for and when can I implement it? In relation to your experience in which cases have you used it?

A queue isn’t combiner. A queue can store items until a batch quantity is reached. Then the queue releases the batched items at once. The items are still separated. if a batch has been collected, you can set a different batch size for the next batch to collect.

A combiner has several modes to collect items and release them. One mode is batching. Then the combiner collects items, process them and release all items separated. Other modes are packing and joining.

A queue isn’t able to hold items for a defined time per default. Only objects of the processor class are able to hold items for a defined time by setting a setup and process times.
