Updating queues
You can update an existing queue to change its Name,
Concurrent jobs, or Status.
Use Description to help keep details about your queues.
Use Concurrent jobs to specify the maximum number of jobs
your queue can process concurrently.
Use Status to manage whether a queue is Active or
Paused. New queues default to an
Active status and are available to process jobs
immediately. You can optionally Pause a queue to stop
processing any additional jobs. When you pause jobs, MediaConvert finishes
processing jobs that are already running. If you submit a job to a paused queue, its
status will remain in SUBMITTED until you change the queue's status
back to Active or cancel the job.
The following tabs show how to change the status of an on-demand queue.
