Queue System

How Jobs Are Handled

Parallel Execution (Default)

• Multiple file transfer jobs can run simultaneously

• The system allows up to a configured maximum number of parallel jobs

• Jobs start immediately if there's capacity

Queue Chains (Sequential Execution)

• When you queue a job "after" another job, they form a chain

• Jobs in a chain run one after another, not simultaneously

• Useful when you want specific order or to avoid resource conflicts

When Jobs Get Queued Automatically

Device Conflicts

• The system can detect when jobs involve the same storage device

• To prevent performance issues, it may automatically queue jobs on the same device to run sequentially

• This behavior depends on your settings (all devices vs. slow devices only (e.g. HDD))

Capacity Limits

• If the maximum number of parallel jobs is already running, new jobs wait in queue

• When a running job completes, the next waiting job starts automatically

User Controls

Force Start

• You can override the queue system and force a job to start immediately

• Useful when you know the system resources can handle additional jobs

Manual Queueing

• You can explicitly queue a job to run after another specific job

• Creates a chain where jobs execute in your chosen order
