What It Is
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.

Service Operations Using This Queue
Service operations bound to this queue
The list of service operations bound to this queue. Together with the IB Monitor, this shows what stops processing when the queue is paused.
What This Consolidates
In PIA, queue configuration lives under PeopleTools → Integration Broker → Integration Setup → Queues, and the link to dependent service operations requires walking each operation separately. psLens shows the queue status and its dependent operations on one page.
