Use the WebSphere MQ Explorer
The WebSphere MQ Explorer is an application that runs under the Eclipse platform and is available with WebSphere MQ for Windows and WebSphere MQ for Linux (x86 platform). The WebSphere MQ Explorer can be used to administer local queue managers, or used to administer remote queue managers on any supported platform. It provides a graphical user interface for controlling resources in a network. Using the WebSphere MQ Explorer, we can:
- Define and control various resources including queue managers, queues, process definitions, namelists, channels, client connection channels, listeners, services, and clusters.
- Start or stop a local queue manager and its associated processes.
- View queue managers and their associated objects on your workstation or from other workstations.
- Check the status of queue managers, clusters, and channels.
- Check to see which applications, users, or channels have a particular queue open, from the queue status.
We can invoke the WebSphere MQ Explorer using the strmqcfg command, and on Windows from the WebSphere MQ Taskbar application, or from the Windows Start prompt.
On Linux, the WebSphere MQ Explorer might fail to start if you have more than one Eclipse installation. If this happens, start the WebSphere MQ Explorer using a different user ID to the one you use for the other Eclipse installation.
See Administration using the WebSphere MQ Explorer for more information.
