Queues Interface
Catch All Child Queues —Lower-priority child queues with no queue filters at each family level will catch jobs
accepted by the parent queue, but not accepted by its children’s queue filters. This reduces the chances that the
system queue (the lowest priority queue) will run these jobs.

Single Threading —You can use a queue to single-thread jobs that require exclusive access to a particular resource,
such as to a database. For example, you can set up a queue with a job name mask queue filter to accept all jobs
with the r1_* job name mask and give the queue a limit of 1. When you set up jobs that require the resource, add a
job name prefix r1_ before the job name. The jobs with that particular prefix can now safely share the resource.
