Assigning Multiple Queues to QIndex from a Command Line

When you assign multiple queues to a single QIndex from a command line, that QIndex will handle the queues as long as that instance of QIndex is running; this change is not permanent. (For example, if you use a command line to assign queue 3 to the same QIndex that is handling queue 1, that QIndex now handles both queues as long as it is running. However, the next time you open a QIndex, it will only process queue 1.)

To assign multiple queues to QIndex from a command line

1 If QIndex is running, stop QIndex. (For instructions, see Stopping QIndex.)

You must stop QIndex before you change any queue assignments, but leave Horizon running.

2 Open a command prompt.
3 On the command line enter a path like this one:

Drive:\Horizon Folder\QIndex /qQueues for this QIndex

For example, enter this:

E:\Horizon70\QIndex /q1,3

Here are the sample variables in this path:

Parts of the Path

Description

E:

The drive where your Horizon executables are stored.

Horizon70

A subdirectory in the drive where Horizon is stored.

QIndex

This is the QIndex.exe stored in the Horizon folder.

/q1,3

The queues assigned to this QIndex. Enter a space before the forward slash ( / ).

4 Minimize the command window.

Important: When you assign queues from a command line, QIndex only handles your queues as long as it is running for the current session from which you assigned the queues. If you want to assign the queues permanently, make the change in the QIndex.BAT file or change the queue assignments in the mq_index view. (For instructions, see Assigning Multiple Queues to QIndex from the QIndex.BAT File or Assigning Indexes for Deferred Indexing.)
