Using the Request Multiple Resources feature, you can send a work request to Work Assignment to find more than one resource based on a particular attribute set. While sending a work request, you must specify the total number of resources that you require.
In the work request, you must specify whether you need a full match or a partial match.
If you specify a full match and Work Assignment does not find the total number of required resources, Work Assignment notifies you with the WORK_UNFULFILLED response.
If you specify a partial match and Work Assignment does not find the total number of required resources, Work Assignment returns the number of available resources.
In this case, Work Assignment notifies you with the WORK_UNFULFILLED response only when it does not find even a single available resource.
Work Assignment attempts to match resources based on the attribute set. Work Assignment matches each resource for all attributes defined in the attribute set. After identifying the required number of resources, Work Assignment reserves the resources and sends you the information of the resources. Using the information, you can assign work to the resources.
Important:
Work Assignment does not support queuing for this feature.
