Queue Manager lists all of the processes being executed by the server. You can use Queue Manager to stop, hold, or resume a process, and to change the priority of a queued process.
The Queue Manager consists of two views—JTP Queues and Process Types.
JTP Queues
The JTP Queues view displays all active processes for a specific JTP (job ticket processor) in your system.
JTPs are software components that process job files according to instructions in the process templates that you apply to the job files. For example, the Archive-Retrieve JTP processes files according to the instructions in an archive or retrieve process template.
Process Types
The Process Types view displays all active processes for a specific process type in your system.
Choosing a view
A process may execute multiple JTPs—one JTP for each step. For example, a refine process could include the Normalize, ColorConvert, and Trap JTP.
If a process includes multiple JTPs:
- The Process Types view displays the entire process, and indicates the priority of the entire process.
- The JTP Queues view displays the process multiple times as it moves through each JTP, and indicates the order of each step within each JTP queue.
More than one process may use the same JTP. For example, both a refine process and an output process may use the ColorConvert JTP.
