Using the SCHEDULER
QUEUE SCAN Screen
When you select the Queue Scan function from the MAIN MENU screen, the
SCHEDULER QUEUE SCAN screen displays the first 13 entries in the READY queue,
unless you enter an item ID on the MAIN MENU screen. In that case, the first 13
entries for that item ID in the READY file are displayed and the Item ID field at the top
of the screen is filled in.
You can select any of the other queues from the SCHEDULER QUEUE SCAN screen
by placing the cursor next to the queue name in the upper left of the screen and then
pressing F10 to scan the queue. The selected queue becomes the queue being scanned
and the Current Queue field displays its name. If no entries exist for the current
queue, you see the message "No queue entries found" on the advice line.
You can also search for a specific item in a queue by entering the item ID in the Item
ID field and pressing F10. The item ID is displayed in a format like that for TRECV
and TWORK item-ID logging. You must enter item IDs in the same format:
n, n, n, n, n, n
where n is an integer in the range -32768 to 32767. The integers must be separated by a
comma and exactly one space.
The first 13 occurrences of the item in the queue—either the current queue, by default,
or the queue that you have marked at the top of the screen—are displayed.
To get detailed information about a given item displayed on the SCHEDULER QUEUE
SCAN screen, you can select the item with the cursor or by entering the item ID in the
Item Id field and then pressing the item trace function key F12 to get the ITEM TRACE
screen. The ITEM TRACE screen is discussed later in this section.
Each screen displays up to 13 entries.
For the READY and TIME queues, the first entries to be processed appear in the
top row. The first page of the SCHEDULER QUEUE SCAN screen displays the
next 13 entries to be processed. Press NEXT PAGE to get the subsequent 13 entries
or occurrences of the selected item in their processing order.
For the NET file, entries are listed in alphabetic order by the EXPAND node name
of the destination node.
The SCHEDULER QUEUE SCAN screen gives you the following information for each
entry:
The Creator is the creator name associated with the item.
For queue entries that are not associated with an item (an End Session request, for
example), the Creator field displays (_TRANSFER_), indicating a type of work
internally scheduled by TRANSFER processes. For queue entries that are
associated with an item that no longer exists (local expiration of an item already
deleted, for example), the Creator field contains (*NOT ACCESSIBLE*).
