Moving Queues

Access the Move queue page using the following navigation path:

PeopleTools, and then MultiChannel Framework, and then Universal Queue, and then Administration, and then Administer MCF Queues, and then Move queue

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Move queue page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

The Move queue page has the editable fields Logical Queue, Physical Queue, Number of Accepted Tasks, Number of Assigned Tasks, Number of Enqueued Tasks, Number of Agents, and To Physical Queue

You can move all agents and their open persistent tasks from one physical queue to another physical queue within the same logical queue. For example, to delete a physical queue, move its agents and persistent tasks to another queue before deleting the first queue. Or, if the cluster serving this physical queue is overloaded, you can create another physical queue on another cluster, mark the first physical queue as inactive, create another physical queue on another cluster and move agents and persistent tasks from the inactive physical queue to the new physical queue.
