Specify MSMQ name for writing preprocess notifications
$preproc_qname node qname [tosendnum]
This command specifies the name of a private MSMQ queue to which messages will be written to prioritize specific preprocessing tasks in FFEXTERN.
The parameters on this command are used as follows:
| node | the nodename of the machine which is to use this queue, or * for all nodes. |
| qname | the name of an existing private queue to which this node has permission to write. |
| tosendnum | The TOSEND queue number value below which FS files (of higher priority) will have an MSMQ message created when they are moved to PREPROC. |
This command affects:
| • | any FS files automatically moved to PREPROC by the CopiaFacts engine when one or more of its $fax_filename files has a file type to be converted as a result of a $convert_types entry. |
| • | the FS file written to PREPROC by a Job Admin pre-convert operation for a job instance with job option keyword AutoConvert. |
| • | the FS files written to PREPROC by a Job Admin launch operation for a job instance with job option keyword AutoConvert. |
The FFEXTERN instance(s) processing the PREPROC files must specify the queue name using the command-line flag /Q.
The MSMQ message contains only the FS filename to be prioritized. It causes FFEXTERN to pick the specified FS file from PREPROC ahead of any it finds by scanning this folder.
The original TOSEND priority is used to determine the priority in the message queue. TOSEND priorities 0 to 7 are translated to queue priorities 7 to 0 respectively, and TOSEND8 and TOSEND9 are translated to queue priority 0. For special purposes you can override this transformation using the system variable MSMQ_PREPROC_PRI, which affects only job launch operations.
Example:
When moving FS files from TOSEND, TOSEND1 and TOSEND2 to PREPROC, write an MSMQ message to prioritize them:
$preproc_qname * mname\private$\preproc 3
Always write an MSMQ message when moving files to PREPROC
$preproc_qname * mname\private$\preproc 10
