Adding a new System Parameter (Data Queue type)
A new data queue may be added to Database Monitor when needed. Note that this option is for experts only and could have negative impacts on overall system performance if done properly.

Changing a Data Queue
A data queue may be changed on the fly, but updates to the data queue may not take place right away, since it may be in use at the time. The Database Monitor Manager (IDT460) will attempt to correct data queues which are different than their parameter settings on a periodic basis.
