Thanks Joe.

I'm shooting for [CASE1].

The part I missed was setting the number of relationships. I just dragged 
connections from it thinking the strategy applied.

My regrets and thank you for the clarification!

Darren,

It isn't quite clear to me what you want to do.  Is the pattern

FlowFile A and B enter DistributeLoad which has relationships 1 and 2.

[CASE1] A goes to 1, B goes to 2.

OR

[CASE2] is is A goes to 1, B goes to 1 and CopyA goes to 2, CopyB goes to 2?

If it is CASE1 you want distribute load and you set the 'number of 
relationships' property to 2 and the strategy you want.  Then you set 
relationship 1 to some target processor and relationship 2 to some other 
processor.

If it is CASE2 you want then you just use whatever source processor you have 
before DistributeLoad and you use the same relationship (for example success) 
more than once and we'll make flowfile copies for you.

Hopefully that helps.

Thanks

Hi Joe,
   I've tried to use DistributeLoad, but perhaps I am doing something wrong.

I have 2 flowfiles coming into DistributeLoad and I want that processor to 
distribute them evenly across its outbound connections.

I have 2 connections outbound from DistributeLoad. I expected to see 1 flowfile 
in each outbound queue, but instead I see 2 in each, like a normal processor 
would distribute flowfiles.

Is there a special use of this processor to have to evenly distribute the 
received flowfiles across outbound queues?

thanks!!

Take a look at DistributeLoad.

thanks

Hi

Let's say I have a splitjson processor. I want to connect 10 processors to it 
such that it will send one output to one processor in an evenly distributed 
manner.

Can Nifi do this?
