Queue release in batches

Hello,

I'm trying to analyze a waste management system. Waste is accumulated to a certain level (between 5 and 10) in a container (queue 1) and then moved to a bigger container (queue 2). I managed to open and close ports in a certain threshold (not a range) but I'm not able to move it to the second container in a batch. Can someone help me with this?

Thank you in advance,

Myriam

Hi @Helen, the easiest way to do this would likely be just changing the capacity on the operator from 1 to 5 or 10, that can be done by clicking on the operator and changing the properties

You could also do something similar in process flow, for example like this question.

Thanks for that @Julie Weller. I read somewhere that you could do it using batch performing in the Queue and I was getting some errors. Thank you for the tutorial too.
