Destinations are used with pipe queues. Pipe queues are normally used to create a connection to a remote batch queue. A pipe queue interprets a batch job request, and pipes it to the first available queue in its destination list that will accept the request. The destination list may contain any queue type.
To add a destination to a pipe queue:
-
Open Intergraph Batch Manager.
-
Click on the pipe queue listed in the server view, or select the queue view for that queue.
-
Select Queue > Properties.
The Queue Properties dialog displays.
-
Select the Destinations tab.
-
Key the new destination queue into the Destination edit box; then click Add.
The destination displays in the List box.
-
A destination can be a local queue (on your system) or a remote queue (on other systems). Specify a local queue by its queue name. To specify a remote queue, use one of the following format: \\system_name\queue_name
If you list more than one destination for a pipe queue, the pipe queue will send
a job to the first available queue in its destination list that will accept the job.
-
Repeat step 5 for each destination you want to add to the pipe queue.
-
When you have finished adding destinations to the pipe queue, click OK.
You must have manager privileges on the batch server to add a destination to a pipe
queue.
