Queues overview

To be able to queue an input job, you must connect a queue to the input connector that retrieves the input job.

To be able to queue an output job, you must connect a queue to the input connector that retrieves the corresponding input job, and to the output connector that delivers the output job.

By default, the Platform includes two preconfigured input and output queues. You can connect any of these queues to your input and output connectors. You can use the preconfigured queue settings, and you can also edit the queue settings if you need to.

Generic Platform layer

The queue settings must be the same for all physical layers. This means you must configure queues in the generic Platform layer.

Where to configure queues

You configure the queues in the Manage Queues dialog box:

1	Activate the generic layer.

2	Right-click the Platform view and select Manage Queues. The Manage Queues dialog box opens.

In this dialog box, you can configure the settings for all existing queues. You can also create new queues, rename queues, and delete queues using this dialog box.
