Hello @Leohgs7,

You can accomplish this with a Scheduled source and combiner. I have created a global table that have the batch quantity and process time. One thing to note with the combiner is the first item that enters is considered the container object and is not counted towards the batch quantity, so If you wanted to batch by 3 then the value in the combiner would be 2.
