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 the 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 the 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.

IBM MQ Explorer can be installed either as part of the product installation, or from the stand-alone IBM MQ Explorer (formerly MS0T SupportPac) download available from Fix Central.
