What we can do with the WebSphere MQ Explorer

 

With the WebSphere MQ Explorer, we can:

• Create and delete a queue manager (on your local machine only).

• Start and stop a queue manager (on your local machine only).

• Define, display, and alter the definitions of WebSphere MQ objects such as queues and channels.

• Browse the messages on a queue.

• Start and stop a channel.

• View status information about a channel, listener, queue, or service objects.

• View queue managers in a cluster.

• Check to see which applications, users, or channels have a particular queue open.

• Create a new queue manager cluster using the Create New Cluster wizard.

• Add a queue manager to a cluster using the Add Queue Manager to Cluster wizard.

• Manage the authentication information object, used with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) channel security.

• Create and delete channel initiators, trigger monitors, and listeners.

• Start or stop the command servers, channel initiators, trigger monitors, and listeners.

• Set specific services to start up automatically when a queue manager is started.

• Modify the properties of queue managers.

• Change the local default queue manager.

• Invoke the ikeyman GUI to manage secure sockets layer (SSL) certificates, associate certificates with queue managers, and configure and setup certificate stores (on your local machine only).

• Modify the parameters for any service, such as the TCP port number for a listener, or a channel initiator queue name.

• Start or stop the service trace.

The WebSphere MQ Explorer presents information in a style consistent with that of the WebSphere MQ Eclipse platform.

You perform administration tasks using a series of Content Views and Property dialogs.

Content View

A Content View is a panel that can display the following:

• Attributes, and administrative options relating to WebSphere MQ itself.

• Attributes, and administrative options relating to one or more related objects.

• Attributes, and administrative options for a cluster.

Property dialogs

A property dialog is a panel that displays attributes relating to an object in a series of fields, some of which we can edit.

You navigate through the WebSphere MQ Explorer using the Navigator view. The Navigator allows you to select the Content View you require.
