You need several things:

1. Make a new Typecode in BatchProcessType typekey (For example MyNewCode). Additionally you need add categories: Schedulable, UIRunnable or APIRunnable according to your need.
2. Make a new class that extends WorkQueueBase like this

class MyWorkQueue extends WorkQueueBase<Message, StandardWorkItem> {
  private final static var _batchProcessType = BatchProcessType.TC_MYNEWCODE
  construct() {
    super(_batchProcessType, StandardWorkItem, Message)
  }

  override function findTargets(): Iterator<Message> {
    return Query.make(Message).select().iterator()
  }

  override function processWorkItem(p0: StandardWorkItem) {
    var bean = extractTarget(p0)
    // My process
  }
}

3. Register the new class in work-queue.xml. You can search in the documentation additional parameters like retryLimit, retryInterval, server, env, maxpollinterval, etc.

<work-queue workQueueClass="example.MyWorkQueue" progressinterval="600000">
        <worker instances="1" batchsize="5" />
</work-queue>

4. Register the new BatchProcessType in scheduler-config.xml (Optional). For it works correctly the typecode needs the Schedulable category (first step)

<ProcessSchedule process="MyNewCode">
    <CronSchedule minutes="*/10" />
</ProcessSchedule>
