Batch/Max Content

Should be an easy question... I want to dynamically change the Max Content and Target Batch Size in a Queue named “Blast Tube” based on the flow item’s label.


So using the “OnEntry” trigger I get the labelnum. I look in the tree and under the “BlastTube” Queue we have “variables/batchsize” and “variables/maxcontent.” How to reference them correctly?

use setvarnum and getlabelnum, like this

setvarnum(current,"maxcontent",getlabelnum(item,1));

Hi,

Use,

setvarnum(current,"batchsize",XX);
setvarnum(current,"maxcontent",YY);

Replace XX and YY with the values from the labels on the item.

thanks, knew it had to be easy.

Did you realize that when the aim of the batching queue is full, or has less capacity left than the full batch, the items will be transfered solo or less with less than batchsize to the next queue. I ran into that problem once when I wanted to define transport batches, but ended up with a lot more transports than I expected.
