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. |
Note: | When the state of a queue is Disable or Drain, delivery fails because Trading Networks cannot place the delivery task in the queue. Trading Networks sets the delivery task status to FAILED and logs a message to the activity log. |
Important: | Only use My webMethods to change the delivery schedule and other queue settings for a scheduled delivery service. Do not try to use Integration Server Administrator to change the schedule, or the data passed to the service will be lost and the service will not be able to deliver documents. |
