Contents of the Process Queue Manager Form

Use this form to view the different processes that are in the queue for the process server. You can filter the list to view only those processes that meet the specified criteria.

Field Description
Choose Queue Select the process queue that you want to view.
Status Queue This field displays the status of the queue, such as Running, Hold, or Waiting.
Stop/Continue 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, DPS does not delete the processes. If a process is currently running on the process server, DPS completes the current process before pausing or shutting down.
