State | Meaning |
Enable | Place delivery tasks in the queue and deliver documents. |
Disable | Do not place new delivery tasks in the queue and do not deliver documents. All delivery tasks that are already in the queue remain in the queue. You might disable the queue if you need to fix the scheduled delivery service, or if a processing rule has been placed on the wrong queue and you need to change the rule or reassign tasks to another queue. If the partner profile is disabled, the private queue is disabled. |
Drain | Do not place new delivery tasks in the queue but deliver documents in the queue. You might drain a queue if you want to delete it, or perform maintenance changes (for example, change queue settings, update delivery services). |
Suspend Delivery | Place new delivery tasks in the queue but do not deliver documents. You might suspend a queue if a trading partner is temporarily unable to accept documents. |
Selection | Action |
Run Once | Invokes the scheduled delivery service one time only, at the date and time you specify. This option is typically used in a development environment. Note: If the scheduled date and time occurs when the host Integration Server is not running, Integration Server throws an exception when you next start Integration Server. |
Fixed Interval | Invokes the scheduled delivery service at the fixed interval you specify (for example, every 3 hours). The scheduled delivery service executes for the first time immediately after Trading Networks adds the delivery task. If you want to wait for the scheduled delivery service to finish running before starting the next scheduled invocation of the service, select the Do not overlap task check box. Note: When you add or update a fixed interval schedule for a queue whose state is Enabled or Drained, Trading Networks invokes the service immediately. Subsequent invocations are governed by the fixed interval. |
Hourly Daily Weekly Monthly Yearly | Invokes the scheduled delivery service at the dates and times you specify. Use the Date Range fields to specify the first and last days to invoke the service. Use the Process Queue fields to specify the exact times to invoke the service. If you want to wait for the scheduled delivery service to finish running before starting the next scheduled invocation of the service, select the Do not overlap task check box. |
