View a list of streams

Streams provide a way of separating the flow of information for different topics. We can view a list of all the streams that are currently available on the broker.

Before starting

Note: This information is for IBM WebSphere MQ Version 6.0 queue managers only.

If we do not specify a stream, the default stream is used. The default stream set up between all the brokers in a network is called SYSTEM.BROKER.DEFAULT.STREAM

Before you start:

Show the queue manager that hosts the broker.

Right-click the Topics folder, then click View Streams...
