The request queue stores all asynchronous file transfer requests which have not yet been executed. You may display these on screen at any time. The information displayed will include:
the transfer direction
the operational status of the request
the number of bytes already transferred
the initiator of the request
the local file name, for outbound requests also the remote file name.
the partner system involved
follow-up processing
diagnostic information
The byte counter in the request queue is updated at regular intervals, so that you can keep up-to-date on the progress of file transfer.
You may delete requests and change the order of the requests in the request queue (priority control).
For information on requests that have already been completed, use the logging function (see the section “Logging openFT operations - the logging function”.
Priority control
The requests are processed according to the FIFO principle (FIFO = First In First Out), i.e. the request issued first is processed first. Multiple priority classes are possible. You can control the processing of a request by:
explicitly specifying the priority of a request
changing the priority of a request in the request queue
changing the queue of the request queue, i.e. placing requests at the start or end of a list of request with the same priority
In addition, the FT administrator is able to prioritize partners, see "Prioritization of partners".
