batching from different queues

I have 2 queues a and b. queue a and b connect to queue queue c. I am batching x amount of items in queue c using a global table. Is there a way to update the batch activity so that the batch requires 40% from queue a and 60% from queue b? For example, if i want to batch 10 items, then 4 items must come from queue a, and 6 items must from from queue b before releasing.

@Qiana C

I've attached a model that demonstrates how to update batch behavior.

support_batchexample_1.fsm

I've added two columns to your table that contains the percentage you want to pull from both queues.

Then I've used a pull strategy for Queue3 that references the percentage values in the global table.

I hope this helps!
