Prerequisites

Before you work with job queues, you must activate the queue kernel. To do so, perform these tasks:

Make sure that the server's jde.ini file contains these settings:
```
[JDENET_KERNEL_DEF14]
krnlName=QUEUE KERNEL
dispatchDLLName=jdekrnl.dll
dispatchDLLFunction=_DispatchQueueMessage@28
maxNumberofProcesses=1
numberofAutoSartProcesses=1
```
```
[DEBUG]
QKLog=0
```
The QKLog controls how much debug information is in the debug log specific to Queue Kernel when debug logging is turned on. A value of 0 means that minimal queue kernel logging is generated. You can change the setting to 1 if you need to generate detailed queue kernel information in your debug logs for troubleshooting purposes.
```
[NETWORK QUEUE SETTINGS]
QKActive=1
QKOnIdle=300
```
Where a value of 1 means that the queue kernel is active and a value of 300 sets the queue kernel on idle time to 300 seconds.
Add the following setting to the client jde.ini file:
```
[NETWORK QUEUE SETTINGS]
QKActive=1
```
