@Mokhtar W,

If I'm understanding your question and what you want, this should be an easy fix. Just change the Target Quantity on the Combiner tab of the packing in DB Properties window (see below).

Is this what you had in mind?

Thanks.

is that mean the combiner will take 4 items from the queue or the source ? @Jeff Nordgren

That would mean that it will accept 4 items from which ever resource is connected at input port 2. The combiner automatically accepts just 1 item from input port 1.
