How to handle multiple resource machines

[NagendraSomaset]

1. I have 5 resource PC machines
2. I am running a process which will add large volume of queue items. So, I am running this process across all the 5 resource PC machines simultaneously (By drag and drop the 5 resources in to the process)
3. My requirement is: While I am running this process across all the 5 machines, another high priority process come to run . So I have to free up one of this resource PC (without terminating the already running process). I mean, the already running process should take care by the other 4 resource machines .

How can I achieve this ? Please help me in detail.

​Hello,

are you using the built-in function called "IsStopRequested" in your process?
You could use this before working a new Queue Item and if a stop is requested by the Control Room the process behaves as designed to stop itself.

Hello,
If we use 'IsStopRequested', it will stop the process. But here my requirement is to free up one or two resources from 'N' number of resources running the same process/queue items and the rest of the resources should continue to work on the queue items without stopping it.

For example:
a) The process added 100 items to the queue
b) Resource 1 started to process the 1st queue item and locked it
c) Resource 2 started to process the 2nd queue item and locked it
d) Resource 3 started to process the 3rd queue item and locked it
e) Resource 4 started to process the 4th queue item and locked it

Now, I would like to free up Resource 2 after it completed the 2nd queue item process. All other resources (1,3 and 4) should continue with the 5th to 100th queue items.
