About the DITAOT Event Queue

The DITAOT Event Queue provides detailed information about DITA-OT composition jobs.

The DITAOT Event Queue displays composition jobs queued for processing, or in process, by a DITA Open Toolkit. Name is the default sort column. Other columns may be configured to provide additional information about each job.

Table 1. Recommended Columns in the DITAOT Event Queue
Name	The name of the XML file being composed
Description	A description of how the publication is being composed
Event Creator	The person initiating the composition job
Start Time	When the job starts executing (not when the job was created)
PID	The operation system process identifier of the running job. Batch debug log files include the PID in the filename. It is useful for administrators if they have to login to the primary ACS server and kill a stuck process and/or find the log files if the email doesn't get delivered.
Priority	A plus sign, +, indicates a "fast-poke" job; that is, a job that completes quickly. Note: A + has meaning when Astoria has been configured for multiple processors on the DITAOT Event Queue through the setSlowPokeInfo.py script. See Administrator Scripts.
