Creating data queues

About this task

In the Remote System Explorer, you can create data queues in libraries on your IBM® i server, similar to the CRTDTAQ command in PDM.

To create a data queue:

Procedure

  1. In the Remote Systems view, expand your connection, and then expand Objects > Library list.
  2. Right-click the library in which you want to create the data queue, and select New > Data Queue.
  3. Enter the name of the data queue you want to create, or click Browse to select a data queue from a specific library. If you choose to browse to an existing data queue, you need to rename it after it appears in the Data queue field.
  4. (Optional) Alter the size of the data queue if necessary. The maximum length is 64512.
  5. (Optional) Add a description in the Text field.
  6. (Optional) Click Next to define advanced options for your data queue, such as authority, force to auxiliary storage, sequence, queue size, and auto-reclaim.
  7. Click Finish.

Results

Your new data queue now displays under your selected library.
