Hi,
I want to process 3 items at the same time in a processor. Now I can only change the maximun content and it means that items start to being process when they arrive but I need that they only start when they are three. I try to batch them with a combiner but I only have one entry so I can't.
I really apreciate your help.

Are you using process flow? If so this can be done easily with a list.
I don't understand the question. You mean that I can use a list in the pull strategy or pull requirements?
Thank you for your time
If you are using process flow to control your logic you can use a list and set the parameters to pull 3 items from a list before the model moves on. However, I don't want to propose a solution for you using process flow if you aren't using it in your model.
Irati,
Attached a model with 2 possible solutions.
One has a queue that batches 3 items, they enter the processor and exit as 3 separate items at the same time.
The second solution Joins the 3 items into one using a combiner and processes just one entity (combined of the 3 items)
Depending on your needs you can use either of them
