Introduction to IBM MQ Explorer

IBM MQ Explorer is the graphical user interface in which we can administer and monitor IBM MQ objects, whether they are hosted by your local computer or on a remote system.

IBM MQ Explorer runs on Windows and Linux x86-64. It can remotely connect to queue managers that are running on any supported platform including z/OS®, enabling your entire messaging backbone to be viewed, explored, and altered from the console.

IBM MQ Explorer is built on open source Eclipse technology. As such, IBM MQ Explorer is highly customizable and fully extensible. We can add new tools as plug-ins to IBM MQ Explorer to provide new features in a way that is integrated into the console.
