Some administrative actions can be performed only when the
queue is in a predefined state, as follows:
- Action_Update
-
- If the queue is in use, characteristics of the queue cannot be changed
- The security characteristics of the queue cannot be changed if there are
messages on the queue
- The queue message store cannot be changed once it has been set
- Action_Delete
- The queue cannot be deleted if the queue is in use or if there are messages
on the queue
If the request requires that the queue is not in use, or that it has zero
messages, the administration request can be retried, either when the queue
manager restarts or at regular time intervals. See The basic administration message for
details on setting up an administration request retry.
