Querying for Queue Information
HPDPS changes the value of the
backlogged attribute to false when
the value of queue-backlog becomes
less than the value of the queue
attribute backlog-lower-bound. See
“Configuring the Queue Backlog
Attributes” in Chapter 6 for more
information.
To determine if queue Queue1 is backlogged, enter:
pdls -c queue -s column -r brief,backlogged,queue-backlog \
Queue1
HPDPS displays information similar to the following:
Scheduler Queue
Queue State Ready Server Backlogged Backlog
------ ----- ------------ ------- ---------- -------
Queue1 ready priority FIFO Spool1 true 0:19
NOTE The default class of events for a queue notification profile includes an
event that automatically generates a notification message when a queue
becomes backlogged. See Chapter 7 , “Using Notification,” for further
information.
Querying for Queue Backlog Boundaries
To display whether queue Queue3 is backlogged and the values that
determine a backlogged condition, enter:
pdls -c queue -s column -r backlogged,queue-backlog, \
backlog-upper-bound,backlog-lower-bound, \
backlog-update-interval Queue3
HPDPS displays information similar to the following:
Queue Backlog Backlog Backlog
Backlogged Backlog Upper Bound Lower Bound Interval
---------- ------- ----------- ----------- --------
true 0:27 0:20 0:15 0:05
