Is it possible to set two batch sizes?

Is it possible to set two batch sizes?


Flow items from Queue00.

I want to change the batch size depending on the output port.

I want to flow items one by one to Queue1.

I want to flow 75 items to Queue2.

Here is your model with a simple process flow that will perform this batching:

support_two-batch-sizes.fsm

Queue00 pushes the items to a list and the process flow pulls them to Queue1 or Queue2 according to their preferred batch size.

The only tricky thing is that Process Flow doesn't recognize max content properties on the queue, hence the "Wait for 0 content at Queue1" activity that waits until there is not a box in Queue1 before trying to pull again.

No, it is not. But you can put a queue batching 75 items at the second output port.
