Accessibility features for IBM MQ

Accessibility features assist users who have a disability, such as restricted mobility or limited vision, to use information technology content successfully.

Accessibility features

• Keyboard-only operation
• Operations that use a screen reader

IBM MQ uses the latest W3C Standard, WAI-ARIA 1.0, to ensure compliance to US Section 508, and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0. To take advantage of accessibility features, use the latest release of our screen reader in combination with the latest web browser that is supported by this product.

The IBM MQ online product documentation in IBM Knowledge Center is enabled for accessibility. The accessibility features of IBM Knowledge Center are described at ../../about/releasenotes.html.

Keyboard navigation

This product uses standard navigation keys.

Interface information

The fully accessible way of using IBM MQ is to use the command line interface. For more information about using commands, see How to use IBM MQ control commands and Administration using MQSC commands.

For Windows, the accessible way to install IBM MQ is by using a non interactive installation. For further information, see Advanced installation using msiexec.

The IBM MQ user interfaces do not have content that flashes 2 - 55 times per second.

The IBM MQ web user interface does not rely on cascading style sheets to render content properly and to provide a usable experience. However, the product documentation does rely on cascading style sheets. IBM MQ provides an equivalent way for low-vision users to use a user's system display settings, including high-contrast mode. We can control font size by using the device or browser settings.
