Data conversion for IBM MQ Explorer

The IBM MQ Explorer works in CCSID 1208 (UTF-8). This enables the IBM MQ Explorer to display the data from remote queue managers correctly. Whether connecting to a queue manager directly, or by using an intermediate queue manager, the IBM MQ Explorer requires all incoming messages to be converted to CCSID 1208 (UTF-8).

An error message is issued if you try to establish a connection between the IBM MQ Explorer and a queue manager with a CCSID that the IBM MQ Explorer does not recognize.

Supported conversions are described in Code page conversion.
