Advanced Queue Properties

You might need to specify additional options to search the queue for the package to be retrieved.

1. To set parameters for package retrieval from a queue, make the appropriate entries in the following fields:

   Correlation Identifier

   specifies a binary character string that identifies a package. If specified, only packages that have a header message with the specified correlation identifier will be retrieved. This is useful if you want to retrieve only certain packages that have the same correlation identifier.

   Timeout

   specifies a numeric string that identifies the number of seconds for the operation timeout. By default, the retrieve operation immediately returns output that lists the number of packages that are found in the queue. To override this default, specify this property so that the retrieve operation continues to search for packages until at least one package is found in the queue or until the timeout occurs.

2. After you make the appropriate field entries, click OK.

   Control is returned to the SAS Package Retriever window.
