The queue processing button will prefill automatically 2 groups of Extraction 2.0 object necessary for Queue execution:
The first group is handling insertion into Glue Queue (from SAP table to Glue Queue)
The second group is handling pulling data from Queue (from Glue Queue to Glue table (any target))
