You could use a function to extract the required elements like this:

Code:
function splitarr {
    local pos=0 word=0 items value i
    local wrd=( $1 )
    for items in $3
    do
       value=""
       for((i=0;i<$items;i++))
       do
          [ $i -gt 0 ] && value="$value "
          value="$value${wrd[$word]}"
          (( word++ ))
       done
       printf -v $2[$pos] "%s" "$value"
       (( pos++ ))
    done
}

line="2019-09-11 15:17:55 CR1234 anonymous Deployed     DR_only Back_APP"
splitarrr "$line" my_array "2 1 1 1 1 1"
for((i=0;i<${#my_array[@]};i++))
do
    echo "my_array[$i]=${my_array[i]}"
done

Output:
Code:
my_array[0]=2019-09-11 15:17:55
my_array[1]=CR1234
my_array[2]=anonymous
my_array[3]=Deployed
my_array[4]=DR_only
my_array[5]=Back_APP
