Field Description
Number of Days to Retain Job History Select this option to save history for completed processes in the queue. The default for this field is to retain process history.
  • If you do not retain process history, process entries are deleted from the queue after they run, fail, or get cancelled. If the process entry has an alert pending, the process entry is deleted after the submitter has been notified.
  • If you do retain process history, process entries are deleted from the queue after the number of days that you enter in this field.

If the job has an alert pending, the process entry is deleted after the specified number of days and only after the submitter has been notified.

Deltek strongly recommends that you do not enter zero, which saves the process history indefinitely.

Number of Day to Retain Errors Use this option to set a limit on the number of days that the server retains error reports for successful processing runs. Deltek strongly recommends that you do not enter zero, which saves the reports indefinitely.

Field Description
Name Enter a name by which to identify this process queue. The queue name should be descriptive. This name displays wherever process queue information is displayed and may be selected.
Dedicated Server If you want to dedicate a queue to a specific server, select the server in this field. Only that process server will run jobs on that queue. This is useful if you want a particular machine to run jobs of a particular type. For example, you may want all large jobs to run on the most powerful machine.
Max Enter the maximum number of jobs that will run concurrently in this queue, regardless of how many jobs are actually in the queue. Enter zero for no limit.
