emptyqueue

This command deletes all work items from the indicated queue. These work items are removed from the database immediately upon execution of the emptyqueue command; the work items are not processed according to their Terminate workflow maps or instruction sheets prior to removal.

This command also deletes all records associated with the removed work items (for example, WaitForCondition information or timeout records).

You cannot empty a queue if you do not have access to the queue or work items in the queue. See About workflow security for further information.

Syntax

emptyqueue <queuename>

Parameters

queuename

Name of the queue to empty.

If you specify a system or user queue, you must also indicate the server to view.

   

TIP In vwtool, you can enter parameters on the command line (following the command name) or let vwtool prompt you for the information by entering just the command name. Generally, we recommend prompt mode for all but the simplest commands. Entering the parameters on the command line is intended primarily for script-driven input.

NOTE If necessary, change to the desired isolated region prior to executing this command.
