Question
How to Queue an item to a dedicated queue processor for a specific date?
Hi,
As we knew that in a dedicated queue processor, we can actually queue an item to a specific date time to be resolved by the queue processor activity. But while selecting the value for When to process as Delayed, we won't get any option to refer our DateTime Property.
How to configure the DateTime value in queue processor then? Do we need to set any param or property value while queuing the item which pega uses internally? Please help here if you have already configured it. Thanks in advance!

Hi PaulGentile,
Thanks for the information, It looks like only when we configure the queue processor mode as Delayed and check in, then only the Date/Time for processing appears while trying to queue the item from activity.
It solved the issue. Thanks a lot!

The setting you are referring to is the "mode" under which the queueProcessor will handle items. If you want the queueProcessor to adhere to the datetime in the items, then you'll need mode of "Delayed".
You can refer to the Queue For Processing method details to see the parameters being passed - which includes the "Date/time for processing". The value is interpreted as an "available to process" datetime ... after which the item will be processed during the next run.

Cool, I did not know that. Makes sense - maybe having it gray'd out would be an alternate design; but sometimes that introduces more confusion. Anyhow, I really appreciate the follow-up response.
