What is a Queue

The queue is central to FTSpooler, and is where processing of your application system output files take place, including formatting to your required output and delivery.

Each queue holds a set of rules for processing and delivery of documents and may include any of these elements:

  • Version 8 Formatting identifies documents via the form definition and allows conditional splitting as part of the Process tab.
  • Version 7 formatting:
    • Split rules allow file identification and optional splitting into individual documents.
    • Identified documents or files may be formatted using a particular form within a Data folder. Identified documents or files may also be redirected to other queues for further processing, with no practical limit on the number of redirections.
    • Delivery processes may output your formatted document by fax or email or to a printer, with the address of the output being formed dynamically, or as an attribute of the queue.
  • For Version 7 the common delivery processes normally do not overlap, so "short cut" queue definitions are provided for print and email as well as identification queues.
