Queue Subscribers

Queue subscriber is active Queue Fetcher pointing on existing Queue. The queue can have an unlimited number of subscribers and each one can push data into different Consumers.

With this approach, it's possible to replicate the same data into multiple destinations.

 

Active Queue subscribers are visible on the main Queue object screen

Queue content preview is available after clicking on Show content in the application toolbar.

Cleanup

The queue is being cleared once all data were successfully transferred to target storage (in case of multiple subscribers, every subscriber must transfer all data from Queue) and at the same time, there are no filling Extraction processes for queue running.
