Review and Manage Processing Tasks with Queue Manager
Use the Queue Manager utility to review the processes in a process queue and to perform management tasks such as holding, releasing, and cancelling tasks.
To review and manage processing tasks:
- In the Navigation pane, select Utilities > Process Server > Queue Manager.
-
In the
Queue field on the Queue Manager form, select a queue to review.
Vantagepoint displays the processes associated with that queue. The Queue Status field displays the status of the queue, such as Running, Hold, or Waiting.
- If the queue is stopped, this button is labeled Continue and you start the queue by clicking it.
- If the queue is running, this button is labeled
Stop and you stop the queue by clicking it.
You may want to stop a queue if you need to load new forms in the target printer. Stopping a queue temporarily suspends processing for the selected queue, but does not unassign it from the associated process server. If you stop or shut down a server with active processes waiting in the queue, the processes are not deleted. If a process is currently running on the process server, Vantagepoint completes the current process before pausing or shutting down.
-
Use one or more of the Process Options to filter the process list results:
- Waiting: The process is waiting in the queue to be run, in the order scheduled, by the process server.
- Running: The process is running.
- Hold: The process has a status of Waiting and is on hold.
- Recurring: The process is set to recur, based on the established frequency.
-
To narrow the list of processes by day or status, use the
Select Processes from __ Days field.
To include all processes, leave the field blank. To retrieve only those processed within a specified number of days, enter the number of days. For example, enter 7 to view processes that were run in the past 7 days.
-
Select one or more process statuses to include:
- Complete
- Cancelled
- Failed
- To apply the filters and refresh the list in the Queue Processes grid, click Refresh List.
- To sort the list of processes in the grid, click a column heading on the grid (such as Status or Submitter).
- To see details and parameters about a process, click the link in the Description column.
-
On the Process Queue Details dialog box, click
and use the grid options to perform additional functions with the processes.
