Pre-determined batch()

[Eras]

Hi there, 

I want to batch arrivals based on some numeric attribute `poolId`. Here I want to give each batch a name equal to `poolId` where each batch has a predetermined size based on the arrival attribute 'poolSize'. Then, an arrival should be included in the specific batch that has name=poolId where poolId is equal to the arrivals' poolId attribute. 

Then using:

batch(n,  permanent = TRUE, name = "", rule = NULL)

I want to model something like this to achieve the above:

batch(function() get_attribute(env, "poolSize"),  permanent = TRUE, name = function() get_attribute(env, "poolId"), rule = NULL)

Above did not work so I tried to update some global variables poolIdGlobal and poolSizeGlobal once an arrival passed through the function get_pool_parameters() as follows:

timeout(function() get_pool_parameters()) %>%

batch(poolIdGlobal ,  permanent = TRUE, name =  poolIdGlobal , rule = NULL)

However, this did not work out as well.

What can be used to create the type of batches described above? That is, to determine if a new batch should be created (if there was no previous arrival with attribute 'poolId') or whether the current arrival should be added to a previously created batch with name 'poolId'.

Please, check the reference page [1] and the arguments. The size of a
batch is a static parameter, you can't provide a function. The name is
just an identifier to be able to share the same batch in several
trajectories. The rule argument though can be used to dynamically
decide if an arrival joins a batch or continues.

Hi Iñaki,

Based on your answer then I'm assuming that we cannot set dynamic batch sizes and that if we need to do so, we should find another way of modeling dynamic batches. Is that correct?

Thanks for the help!

Regards,

Rodrigo

Yes, that's correct.
