From this panel we can perform actions such as:

  • Choose the local queue manager we want and whether we want the commands issued on that queue manager, on a remote queue manager, or on another queue manager in the same queue sharing group as the local queue manager. Over type the queue manager name if we need to change it.
  • Select the action we want to perform by typing in the appropriate number in the Action field.
  • Specify the object type that we want to work with. Press function key F1 for help about the object types if we are not sure what they are.
  • Specify the disposition of the object type that we want to work with.
  • Display a list of objects of the type specified. Type in an asterisk (*) in the Name field and press Enter to display a list of objects (of the type specified) that have already been defined on the action queue manager. We can then select one or more objects to work with in sequence. All the actions are available from the list.

Note: You are recommended to make choices that result in a list of objects being displayed, and then work from that list. Use the Display action, because that is allowed for all object types. Parent topic: Operate IBM MQ for z/OS
