Report Queue Maintenance

When favorites are scheduled for background processing, they must be assigned to a Report Queue. The available Report Queues are defined in System Setup.

To access the Report Queue Maintenance page:

In Administration, select System Setup > Reporting Configuration > Report Queue Maintenance.

To add or remove queues, follow the general procedure for Adding and Deleting Codes.

Report Queue Fields

The following fields are contained on the Report Queue definition:

Field	Description
Report Queue ID	This is the unique name that is given to the queue when it is added. It is the name that will be used when submitting favorites.
Description	Enter a description for this report queue. It is for reference purposes only.
Queue Security	This field can be used to limit the users who can submit favorites to this queue. For each of the options, a specific security function must be created (if it does not already exist). This function must then be added to the security role for users that should be allowed to submit favorites to this queue. The Allow Select option must be selected for the function after adding it to the role. For more information about security functions and roles, see Security Functions and Security Roles. The options work independently of each other. There is no hierarchy implied by the names. This gives you flexibility in setting up different sets of user permissions for different queues. Any Use: No security function is required. All users can submit favorites to this queue. Permit 1: Users must have the "w_maint_report_queue_entry1" security function. Permit 2: Users must have the "w_maint_report_queue_entry2" security function. Permit 3: Users must have the "w_maint_report_queue_entry3" security function. Permit 4: Users must have the "w_maint_report_queue_entry4" security function. Permit 5: Users must have the "w_maint_report_queue_entry5" security function.
Display Sequence	When users are browsing for a queue while submitting a favorite, the queues will be listed in sorted order by Display Sequence.
Only for Comp. ID	If you only want to allow this queue to be used for a specific company, enter the Company ID in this field. Leaving the field blank allows it to be used by any company.
Added By	Displays the user code that added the queue definition.
Date Added	Displays the date that the queue definition was created.
Changed By	Displays the user code that last changed the queue definition.
Date Changed	Displays the last date that the queue definition was changed.

Processors Tab

Each Report Queue must have at least one Report Processor. This processor controls when and how information in the queue is processed.

While it is possible to have multiple Processors running against the same queue, we advise you only use one processor per queue.

To add a new Report Processor, click the New Processor button on the banner.

Field	Description
Processor ID	This is a unique name used to initiate and run PCATS service. This name will be used in the PCATS transaction request (XML) file.
Description	Enter a description for this report processor. It is for reference purposes only.
Status	This value indicates the current status of the processor. It is updated automatically by the system. The possible values are as follows: Not Running Processing Entry Waiting Paused Waiting to Reconnect
Last Active	This read-only field contains the last date and time at which the processor was known to be active. It is provided for reference purposes only.
