The Dashboard Web Console

From IBM MQ Version 9.1.5, the web console available in previous versions is known as the Dashboard Web Console.

A new web console, named the New Web Console, is available for IBM MQ for Multiplatforms. See Quick tour of the New Web Console. Users of IBM MQ for z/OS must continue to use the Dashboard Web Console, which is described in the following topics.

IBM MQ for Multiplatforms users can choose to continue using the Dashboard Web Console. See Switching between console types.
