Once you have determined how you want to set up complex deferred indexing, you split your existing queue to create two or more new queues. Each new queue you create requires its own QIndex workstation.
To split a queue
1 | If you want to split a queue that a queue indexer is currently processing, stop the queue indexer that is running on that queue. |
For instructions, see Stopping QIndex.
2 | Open the mq_index view in the Table Editor, or start the Indexes process. |
The default location of this process is the Administration\Index Control Menu folder on the navigation bar.
3 | Do one of these options to display the Search menu: |
• | Press CTRL+F2. |
• | Choose File, Search. |
4 | Highlight Queue. |
5 | In the Search for field, enter the queue you want to split. |
For example, enter “1” to search for queue 1.
6 | Click OK. |
Horizon displays the List Horizon Index Definitions window. All of the mq_index entries are displayed for the queue you entered in the Search for field.
7 | Do one of these options: |
To assign one index to the new queue |
To assign multiple indexes to the new queue |
||||||||||||
Horizon displays the Edit Horizon Index Definitions window.
|
Horizon displays a Batch Change message.
Horizon displays the Batch Change Horizon Index Definitions window. |
8 | In the Queue field, enter the new queue that you want to assign to the indexes. |
For example, enter “2”. Remember that although queues are assigned with a number, they do not take on a priority value. The number is just the “name” assigned to the queue.
9 | Save your changes. |
Note: Once you have split a queue, you need to set up a new QIndex on a separate workstation for each new queue you have created. (For example, if you chose to have QIndex for queue 1 start automatically, set up QIndex for queue 2 to also start automatically.) (For information about setting up QIndex, see Starting QIndex .)
