Chapter 2. Process Queuing Overview of the T ransmission Control Queue The TCQ controls Pr ocess execution as Sterling Connect:Direct operates. After you submit a Process, it is stor ed in the TCQ.

The Execution Queue Processes ar e placed in the Execution queue after Sterling Connect:Direct connects to the remote node. Pr ocesses normally come from the W ait queue, but also can be placed in the Execution queue by a submit command with maxdelay=0 specified. Processes in the Execution queue can be in execution (EX) status or pending execution [...]

After a Process successfully completes, it is automatically deleted fr om the Execution queue.
