The queue windows, for example, Mount Queue (Figure 112), contain the following
information for each operation in the queue:
Priority
The priority group into which the operation was placed.
Action
The name of the request.
Volser The volser associated with the operation. If no volser is identified, the field
is blank. The Clean Queue entry does not require a volser field.
Device
The device identifier associated with the operation. If no device is
identified, the field is blank. The Eject, Insert, and Audit queues do not
require a device field.
Status The current status of the operation:
Queued
The operation is waiting for action.
In Progress
The operation is being executed currently.
Blocked
The operation is waiting for another operation to complete
execution before the blocked operation can start. No operator
action is needed.
Additional info
This column only appears in the Whole Queue window. Information in this
column further defines the value in the Status column.
Use the Whole Queue window to determine why a 3494 operation is not
completing an operation as expected.
Note: You can view the Whole Queue window from the Specialist (see “Specialist
Features and Functions” on page 396).
