Queue slots limitation not being enforced

[MarcoTizzoni604411]

Hi everyone,
I have a script activating a JOB.
In the pre-process tab of the JOB I set the queue for the JOB a documented here: https://docs.automic.com/documentation/webhelp/english/AWA/12.1/DOCU/12.1/AWA%20Guides/help.htm#AE_AWA_Source/Script/ucaads.htm

This is the code:
:PUT_ATT QUEUE = 'QUEUE.MY_QUEUE'

The above queue has just one slot. When I activate the job it goes in the right queue, however the slot limitation is not enforced, i.e. if 4 jobs are trigger they will all run in parallel.
Is there a workaround besides generating the job at activation time?

thanks in advance,
Marco

Hi

Yeah, there is a workaround for this issue (=design issue).

Put your JOBS(with gen@runtime NOT checked) into a Workflow(with gen@runtime checked) and it will work.
:)

cheers, Wolfgang

I worked-around it with the following code in the pre-process tab.

:PUT_ATT QUEUE = 'QUEUE.&MY_QUEUE#'

:SET &RET# =MODIFY_TASK (&$RUNID#, STOP)

:SET &RET# =MODIFY_TASK (&$RUNID#, GO, FORCED)
