Configuring the Queue Waiter task
The Queue Waiter task is used to wait until the data warehouse terminates the processing of data imported by the ETLs. The Queue Waiter task is generally added to a task chain, so that the chain is placed in wait until the data processing is available. For details, see Configuring the Task chain. For example, you can add the task chain in wait until all the data required to build a specific report is available before launching the Report Executor task.
This task is used to postpone the execution of analyses, models, or reports till the related resolution of data is available in the warehouse after a batch loading through ETL. The queue waiter can be stopped after the expiration of a specified timeout, even if attended requests haven’t been completely processed. At configuration time, you can reduce the scope of the wait to a specific set of ETLs or domain and also to specific data warehouse threads.
The following details must be entered for the Run configuration of the task:
