Release all batches in a Batch activity

I have a Batch activity containing 2 batches based on a "Group By" label. If in one of those batches a token enters that is the last of everything I want to release all current batches. But currently only the batch in which the last token entered is released. How can I achieve that both batches are released?

I'm not entirely sure how you have your model configured so I'm not sure on a specific answer, but you can use the getbatch() command to get a reference to your batches, and the releasebatch() command to release those batches.

So one example could be to set it up such that you have an event triggered source that fires when your first batch releases, which would then go onto a custom code activity that parses through and releases the other batch too.

Thanks Sam, the getbatch function is quite usefull but never mentioned anywhere ( except in the what's new) so I didn't think of that!

Hi @Sam Stubbs,

I have a Batch activity in the Process Flow. I am trying to test code in the Script window to release all incomplete batches but the above functions don't seem to work.

@Sam Stubbs.

Thanks.
