Queue Entries Table
The Queue Entries table lists all entries currently in the queue. The table columns provide details about each entry. When managing the entries in a queue, the Status column provides valuable information.
* 
To group all entries with the same status, sort on the Status column.
Each entry in a background queue corresponds to a processing task that then has a status. The entry status can be one of the following:
Status
Description
Ready
Corresponds to the initial status of the task. Only entries with the Ready status are waiting to execute. How they are processed depends on the queue type.
Executing
Indicates that an entry has been selected for execution. From the Executing status, the entry goes to either the Completed or the Failed status.
Completed
Indicates that the task was successfully executed. If these entries are not automatically deleted, you should purge queues of Completed entries so that the size of a queue does not exceed the storage capacity of the database.
Failed
Indicates that an error occurred during execution. You can purge queues of Failed entries so that the size of a queue does not exceed the storage capacity of the database.
Reschedule
Indicates that the queue entry has been executed and automatically rescheduled.
Severe
Indicates that an unexpected problem occurred when the entry was executing. If desired, the queue can be configured to suspend itself for a short interval when this sort of problem occurs. You can use the Suspend Duration field on the Edit window to specify the length of the suspension. See Editing Queue Attributes.
Regular queue maintenance is important for system performance. Failed and severe entries can accumulate, resulting in large queue tables and poor queue performance. View failed and severe entries on a regular basis to decide if failed entries should be deleted and if severe entries should be either deleted or reset to Ready.
* 
By default, completed tasks are deleted from the queue; however, if the wt.queue.removeCompleted property is set to retain them, delete completed entries manually as part of your regular maintenance.
From the Queue Entries table, you can reset or delete queue entries.
To reset one entry, right-click the entry row and select Reset from the actions menu.
To reset multiple queue entries, use the following procedure:
1. Select the queue entries that you want to reset by selecting the checkbox at the beginning of the corresponding rows.
2. Click the reset icon or right-click and select Reset from the actions menu.
This action has no effect on queue entries that are already set to the Ready status.
To delete one entry, right-click the entry row and select Delete from the actions menu.
To delete multiple queue entries, use the following procedure:
1. Select the queue entries that you want to delete by selecting the checkbox at the beginning of the corresponding rows.
2. Click the delete icon or right-click and select Delete from the actions menu.

If you fail to delete entries from the queue manually, queuetasks may exhaust the storage capacity of the database.
