8 min
the work queue screen shows currently executing automations, batch jobs, and web services items being executed are sorted by the length of time they have been executing, with the longest running items at the top of the list each item will show how long it has been executing if possible, it will also show an estimated time remaining until completion and/or an estimated completion time for any loop processing being performed by an automation moving the mouse cursor over the list of executing items will pause the list from auto refreshing move the mouse cursor away from the list to have it auto refresh again the actions menu provides options for managing the work queue drain work queue toggles the draining of the work queue draining the work queue stops the system from placing any new work into the queue items already executing are allowed to fully complete their processing lock work queue toggles the locking of the work queue locking the work queue stops the system from placing any new work into the queue items already executing are halted after they process the current trigger data row generally, automations that are halted before processing all their trigger data rows will process the remaining rows the next time the automation executes stop work queue toggles the locking of the work queue any items currently executing in the queue will be immediately and forcibly halted stopping the work queue while items are running should only be done as an emergency last resort! open all running automations in browser tabs opens a browser tab for each running automation each browser tab will display the automation in the automation editor's dashboard view queued items toggles between viewing all items in the memory queue that are awaiting to be executed and the default view of all executing items get jvm thread dump copies the java virtual machine's active thread dump to your system's clipboard disabling apps if an app's api stops responding, sometimes the api's implementation won't terminate the socket connection in a timely manner which in turn will cause automations using the app's api to clog the work queue as they await api responses until a timeout tells them to give up when such a situation occurs, it may be best to disable an app so that no automations that use the app will be processed by the work queue use this menu to edit the list of disabled apps enter one or more app names, separated by commas the app names must exactly match! any disabled apps will then be displayed in the actions menu automations using those apps will not be processed by the work queue until the apps are re enabled click the link again and remove them from the list of disabled apps in order to enable them again account filtering the list of running items can be filtered by a single account via the view filter menu option select the desired account and pick it then the list of running items will be filtered to only show items running for the selected account select the view filter menu option again to remove the filter
