If the access server offering the service has queuing enabled and has not reached
its queue limit, the request is queued. If more than one access server offers the
service, your access server will attempt to connect to the target access server that
has the highest service rating. For access servers that offer queuing, service
ratings are higher for access servers that have the greatest number of open
positions in their connection queues.
If the port queuing characteristic is disabled, your access server cannot request a
queue connection when a service is busy. Therefore, if the service is busy, your
user receives a message that indicates that service is not available.
The factory-set default is disabled.
Example: Enabling Queuing on a Port
This example shows how to enable queuing on port 5:
Local> CHANGE PORT 5 QUEUING ENABLED
The Service Connections Characteristic
The service connections characteristic allows you to disable additions to the
connection queue when a given service is busy. Changing this characteristic does
not affect requests that are already in the queue.
Example: Disabling Port Queuing
The following example shows how to disable additional queued connections for
the service LN03_PRINT:
Local> CHANGE SERVICE LN03_PRINT CONNECTIONS DISABLED
Server Queue Limit Characteristics
The server queue limit characteristic the maximum number of entries permitted
at one time in the queue. The access server can queue up to 200 connection
requests.
Example: Changing Queue Limit Characteristics
The following example shows how to change the queue limit to 150:
Local> CHANGE SERVER QUEUE LIMIT 150
