Queues

A Queue is an Integration Broker ordering construct. Async service operations attached to the same queue process serially in the order they arrived, while operations on different queues can run in parallel. Queues are also the unit where IB pauses (“Pause” status) when an administrator stops message processing for maintenance. Each queue is stored in PSQUEUEDEFN with a status (Run, Pause) and a partitioning configuration.

Object Relationships

Queues manage message processing order and concurrency for Integration Broker:

• Orders Service Operations: Queues (PSQUEUEDEFN) group asynchronous Service Operations (PSOPERATION) to enforce sequential or parallel execution flow.

How psLens Improves Integration Queue Inspection

In PIA, queue configuration lives under PeopleTools → Integration Broker → Integration Setup → Queues, and locating dependent service operations requires walking each operation separately.

psLens shows queue run/pause status and all dependent service operations on a single page, helping administrators instantly spot paused queues and stalled integrations.

Wildcard % search supported. Each card shows the queue’s run/pause status, the fast way to spot a paused queue causing a stalled integration.

URL: /queues/{QUEUE}?db={database}

The main pane shows Queue Properties (status, partitioning method, archive flag, owner, description) and a Service Operations Using This Queue card. Queues are simple objects — there are no sidebar toggles.
