Syntax and options for `uip or queues`, which manages Orchestrator queue containers for transactional work items.
Manage Orchestrator queues — containers for work items that automations process transactionally. Queues are folder-scoped. For per-item operations inside a queue, see uip or queue-items.
For the cross-resource conventions (auth, folder scoping, key types, output envelope), see the uip or overview.
Synopsis

list
List queues in a folder. Requires --folder-path or --folder-key. Filter: -n, --name <name>. --sort-by <field> sorts results (default Id desc).
uip or queues list --folder-path Shared
uip or queues list --folder-path Shared
get
Get queue details by key. Cross-folder.
create
Create a queue in a folder. Requires <name>. Flags: -d, --description, --max-retries, --sla-in-minutes <minutes>, --risk-sla-in-minutes <minutes>, --auto-retry / --no-auto-retry (default on), --retry-abandoned-items / --no-retry-abandoned-items, --enforce-unique-reference / --no-enforce-unique-reference, --encrypted, --retention-action <Delete|Archive|None> (default Delete), --retention-period <days> (default 30), --stale-retention-action (default Delete), --stale-retention-period <days> (default 180).
uip or queues create InvoiceQueue --folder-path Shared \
--max-retries 3 --retention-period 90
uip or queues create InvoiceQueue --folder-path Shared \
--max-retries 3 --retention-period 90
update
Update queue properties by key. Cross-folder. Same flags as create, all optional.
delete
Delete a queue by key. Cross-folder. Requires -y, --yes — the CLI never prompts for destructive operations. Add -f, --force to delete a queue that still has items — without it, a non-empty queue is refused; --force deletes the items along with the queue and implies --yes.
uip or queues delete a1b2c3d4-0000-0000-0000-000000000010 --yes
uip or queues delete a1b2c3d4-0000-0000-0000-000000000010 --yes
get-stats
Get processing statistics (item counts, exception counts, processing times) for a queue. Unlike every other verb on this page, the queue is identified by a required option, not a positional argument: --key <queue-key>. Optional -n, --name <name> (contains-match, combined with --key), --from <date> / --to <date> (ISO 8601, filter by last-processed date), --all-fields.
uip or queues get-stats --key a1b2c3d4-0000-0000-0000-000000000001
uip or queues get-stats --key a1b2c3d4-0000-0000-0000-000000000001
get-folders, share, unshare
Exit codes
See Exit codes for the shared contract. delete exits 1 if -y, --yes is omitted.
