<P><FONT SIZE=3D2 FACE=3D"Arial">Hi all,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=3D2 FACE=3D"Arial">From what I have read, event queues =
are available to assist with performance where there is a likelihood of =
a large number of the same event being created in a very short space of =
time. To date, I haven't used them and haven't had problems, and I =
don't expect that to change. However the other thing that also =
interests me is that you can use the event queue to manage the case =
where event linkages end in an error, so that with the correct settings =
in the event linkage, if necessary these events can be resubmitted once =
the problem is fixed.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=3D2 FACE=3D"Arial">We had the situation a while ago where =
a small number of event linkage instances went into error because a =
table space was filled. Fortunately it was picked up early, and I only =
had to recreate a small number of these events by hand. If the number =
was large, I don't know how I would manage to kick off all the =
worklfows required without spending many tedious hours doing it =
manually. Perhaps this was a freak occurrence, but it makes me think =
that I should switch on the event queue for everything, to cover this =
risk in the future. So what is the downside to using the event queue, =
if any?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=3D2 FACE=3D"Arial">The other thing I'm wondering though =
is if I do switch it on, will it see event linkages that end with =
exception due to a start condition killing it (which we want to =
happen)? What else do I need to consider?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=3D2 FACE=3D"Arial">I thank you for any expert =
advice.</FONT>
