Queues

The queue is the main messaging component. The Queues tab provides the overview of the pending messages and the most active queues. You can create, edit, purge, and delete queues.

On the Queues tab, you can perform the following tasks:

• Creating Queues

• Editing, Purging, and Deleting Queues

• Sorting Queues by Columns

• Searching for Queues

• Viewing Queues Details

Creating Queues

1. Click the new queue button .

2. On the Create a new queue page, enter the details for Name and Properties fields.

3. Click Create.

Editing, Purging, and Deleting Queues

1. Click the three-dots menu next to a queue to perform a task.

2. Select Edit, Purge, or Delete as per your requirements.

   Note:  

   • Dynamically created queues cannot be edited.
   • Purging or deleting a queue permanently deletes pending messages for that queue.
   • Some system queues cannot be purged or deleted.
   • Wildcard queues cannot be purged.

Sorting Queues by Columns

You can sort queues by clicking the arrows on a column heading.

These columns are described in the following table:

Column	Description
Pending Messages	The total number of messages waiting to be delivered to consumers.
Pending Size	The total byte size of all pending messages.
Consumers	The number of consumers on a queue.
Inbound Msgs/s	The number of inbound messages per second in the most recent rate interval.
Outbound Msgs/s	The number of outbound messages per second in the most recent rate interval.
Store	The name of the store the queue uses to persist messages.

The default sort is by highest pending messages, so the queues with most messages appear at the top of the list.

Searching for Queues

You can use the Queue name or pattern field to search queues.

You can either search a specific queue or perform a wildcard search. Use Advanced Search to understand the wildcard search rules.
For more information about these searches and how to combine them to narrow the results, see the Wildcards * and > topic in the TIBCO Enterprise Message Service™ User Guide.

Viewing Queues Details

The list of queues are displayed on the Queues tab.

Use the dropdown icon to expand and view configuration details of the queue.

Viewing Queue Metrics

1. By clicking the queue name, you can go to the QUEUE METRICS page that displays details specific to the queue you have selected rather than the whole system.

2. The QUEUE METRICS page displays charts for Message Rate, Pending Messages, and Pending Bytes in that specific queue.

3. Under Pending Message Browser section, click Start Browsing to view pending messages in the queue. Additionally, you can enter details in the Message Selector field to narrow your search. These are specific EMS features. For more information see, TIBCO Enterprise Message Service™ documentation.
