About queues

Queues hold work items waiting to be processed. You can manage the following types of queue using Process Configuration Console:

  • User queues - Each user has an Inbox that holds work items assigned to that user. A user might also have a queue of Tracker items. The Inbox and Tracker queues are created automatically during initialization of the isolated region.
  • You can use Process Configuration Console to modify user queue properties—change the queue's description, add or delete system and data fields, create indexes, and configure users' privileges for accessing the queue.
  • Work queues - A work queue holds work items that can be completed by one of a number of users, rather than by a specific participant, or work items that can be completed by an automated process. In a workflow definition, the workflow author can assign steps to a specific work queue.
  • Use the Process Configuration Console to create and configure work queues, specifying the queue properties. You can also move a work queue from one server to another for the purpose of load balancing.
  • Component queues - To process a workflow step using an external entity, such as a Java object or (Workplace only) Java messaging system (JMS), you use Process Configuration Console to configure a component queue.

NOTE System queues (Conductor, Delay, and InstructionSheetInterpreter) do not display in the Process Configuration Console since you cannot modify their properties.
