data in upper or lower case all comparisons and searches for this field are performed in a
“caseless” mode. You cannot change this property after the Queue has been created.
Type: This read-only field indicates whether the Queue is Execution or Generic.
Status: This read-only field indicates the current status of the Queue.
Description: This optional field allows you to enter data describing the intended use of this
Queue.
Default Job Properties: This section of fields provide working defaults (in addition to Queue and
Job Policies) for jobs submitted to this Queue.
O/S Priority: This field indicates the default Operating System priority to be assigned to this
job. Windows 2000/NT jobs use the keywords: BelowNormal, Normal, AboveNormal, High
and Realtime (for NT V4 machines, the “Normals” are considered the same). Other operating
systems use a number based system which is also supported by ActiveBatch. A number from
1 to 32 may be specified.
Queue Priority: This field indicates the default priority to be used when a new job is
submitted to ActiveBatch. This field should not be confused with the O/S Priority field which is
used to indicate the priority of the running process. Rather this priority indicates the order a
new job is inserted into an ActiveBatch Queue for eventual execution. The higher the value
the higher the priority. A range from 1 to 100 is accepted with a typical default of 10.
Hold Job on Error/Abort: This checkbox indicates whether a job that completes in error or is
aborted should be held on the executing queue. Normally a job is not held.
Operating Times: The next set of fields indicate when jobs may be submitted to the Queue or
when jobs may be scheduled for execution.
Close From… to…: This from and to time range indicates when a Queue is closed. Jobs
may not be submitted to a closed queue. To enable this feature, click the checkbox and then
enter a from and to time range. From and To times may not be the same.
Stop From… to…: This from and to time range indicates when a Queue is to be stopped.
Jobs are not scheduled for possible execution on a stopped Queue. To enable this feature,
click the checkbox and then a from and to time range. From and To times may not be the
same.
