Queue

All activities within AE are processed within Queue objects. Queues determine the maximum number of parallel running tasks including their priorities.

Object: Queue
Object class: Active object
Object type (short form): QUEUE

Each task is automatically processed within a queue. The system automatically uses the queue available in each client (object name: CLIENT_QUEUE) if no particular Queue object has been selected in the Attributes tab of an executable object. You can assign any number of objects to a Queue object.

Queues are active objects with the only difference being that they cannot be executed. All of a client's Queue objects are displayed in the Activity Window and the System Overview. It is possible to stop and restart the execution of a queue's tasks.
