Deciding whether to use the WebSphere MQ Explorer

 

When deciding whether to use the WebSphere MQ Explorer at your installation, bear the following points in mind:

Object names

If you use lowercase names for queue managers and other objects with the WebSphere MQ Explorer, when you work with the objects using MQSC commands, enclose the object names in single quotes, or WebSphere MQ will not recognize them.

Large queue managers

The WebSphere MQ Explorer works best with small queue managers. If you have a large number of objects on a single queue manager, you might experience delays while the WebSphere MQ Explorer extracts the required information to present in a view.

Clusters

WebSphere MQ clusters can potentially contain hundreds or thousands of queue managers. The WebSphere MQ Explorer presents the queue managers in a cluster using a tree structure. The physical size of a cluster does not affect the speed of the WebSphere MQ Explorer dramatically because the explorer does not connect to the queue managers in the cluster until you select them.
