release item from queue in specific time and specific quantity

hello!

I want to ask about how to release item from queue with specific time and specific quantity. For example, we have 1 source, 1 queue, and 2 processors (A & B), then processor A will pull item from queue in specific condition (example: 1000 seconds: 20 item; 1500 sec: 10 item; 2500 sec: 25 item, etc). While, processor B will pull item from queue in specific condition (example: 2800 sec: 17 item, 3400 sec: 6 item, etc). can you give me solution for my case, please?

Thank you very much

Hey @Stefani, you could try something like this:

Start by pushing all items onto a list. That list will be pulled from by requests in the Process Flow. Simply have two Scheduled Sources with the desired pull amounts and times.

Then you move the pulled boxes into the respective Queue.
