Showing and hiding queue managers and clusters

 

The WebSphere MQ Explorer can display more than one queue manager at a time. The Show/Hide Queue Manager panel (selectable from the context menu for the Queue Managers tree node) allows you to choose whether you display information on another (remote) machine. Local queue managers are detected automatically.

To show a remote queue manager:

  1. Right-click the Queue Managers tree node, then select Show/Hide Queue Managers....

  2. Click Add.... The Show/Hide Queue Managers panel is displayed.

  3. Fill in the name of the remote queue manager and the host name or IP address in the fields provided.

    The host name or IP address is used to establish a client connection to the remote queue manager using either its default server connection channel, SYSTEM.ADMIN.SVRCONN, or a user defined server connection channel.

  4. Click Finish.

The Show/Hide Queue Managers panel also displays a list of all visible queue managers, and allows you to hide queue managers from the navigation view.

If the WebSphere MQ Explorer displays a queue manager that is a member of a cluster, the cluster is detected, and displayed automatically.

To export the list of remote queue managers from this panel:

  1. Close the Show/Hide Queue Managers panel.

  2. Right click the top IBM WebSphere MQ tree node in the Navigation pane of the WebSphere MQ Explorer, then select Export MQ Explorer Settings....

  3. Select Remote queue manager connection information.

  4. Select a file to store the exported settings in.

  5. Finally, click OK to export the remote queue manager connection information to the specified file.

To import a list of remote queue managers:

  1. Right click the top IBM WebSphere MQ tree node in the Navigation pane of the WebSphere MQ Explorer, then select Import MQ Explorer Settings....

  2. Click Browse, and navigate to the path of the file that contains the remote queue manager connection information.

  3. Click Open. If the file contains a list of remote queue managers, the Remote queue manager connection information box will be selected.

  4. Finally, click OK to import the remote queue manager connection information into the WebSphere MQ Explorer.
