Import queues

Import queues for flexible usage that ensures efficient processing of WLM automations. You can also import queues along with work items.

Prerequisites

  • You must have the AAE_Queue_Admin role to import queues.
  • Users and roles associated with the queues are imported, and the license assigned to the users is also imported.
  • Ensure that the target Control Room user has create users, create roles, and install license permissions.
  • Ensure that queue names are unique for importing. Queues with the same name are skipped and not imported in the target Control Room.
  • The source and target Control Room instances must be running the same version.
  • The source and target Control Room instances must be of same setup type: SSO with SSO, AD with AD, and non-AD with non-AD.

When importing a queue, consider the following factors:

  • Before you import a queue, you must pause all the running WLM automations or queues.
  • Users and roles associated with the queues are imported. Licenses (for example, Bot Creator and Bot Runner) that are assigned to the users associated with the queues are also imported.
  • All the queue entities associated with the queue, for example, general settings, owners, participants, consumers, Work Item structure, and optionally Work Items are imported to your Control Room.
  • When you import Work Items with the queues, the state of the Work Items (Completed, Failed, Data error, and so on) are maintained in your target Control Room.
To import a queue, perform the following steps:

Procedure

    If a queue already exists in your environment, you can select one of the following options:
    • Skip the queue (don't import it): The selected queue is skipped and is not imported.
    • Make a copy of the queue (a suffix of “copy” will be added to the queue name): A copy of selected queue is created and imported to your environment, with copy suffixed to the name of the queue.
