Hi @Adam J,

By "fill rate" do you mean capacity? Load time? Max speed? What is it you would like the Task Executor to be doing?

[adam_j]

The number of items a task executer will carry. Is there a way to define it as we define capacity, speed...?

[allister_wilson]

The number of items a task executer can carry is its capacity, which you can set in its quick properties, or the first tab of its properties window.

[adam_j]

It's the max capacity no ? Xhat I would do ( apart from the capacity) is to fix the quantity of items the task excuter will carry in every run period.

[tanner_p]

Where will you get the data for each run period? Are you using a global table?

You would need to set the max capacity of the Task Executor to something larger than every potential value from the table (or whatever you're using to draw data from) and then you can use Process Flow or other logic to move the required amount of items.

Hi @Adam J

There are many ways to make your TE to carry an specific quantity of itens.

I put 2 options here:

1) Use the queue batch in order to help you to do that

2) Use the PF combined with batch and task sequence.

Please let me know if it works.

It works. Thank you so much !
