Introducing the operations and control panels

We can use the WebSphere MQ operations and control panels to perform administration tasks on WebSphere MQ objects. You use these panels for defining, displaying, altering, or deleting WebSphere MQ objects. Use the panels for day-to-day administration and for making small changes to objects. If you are setting up or changing many objects, you should use the COMMAND function of the CSQUTIL utility program.

The operations and control panels support the controls for the channel initiator (for example, to start a channel or a TCP/IP listener), for clustering, and for security. They also enable you to display information about threads and page set usage.

The panels work by sending MQSC type WebSphere MQ commands to a queue manager.

Notes:

  1. A small number of system controls are not available through the panels. You must issue these explicitly using one of the other methods, see Issuing commands.

  2. We cannot issue the WebSphere MQ commands directly from the command line in the panels.

  3. To use the operations and control panels, have the correct security authorization; this is described in the WebSphere MQ for z/OS System Setup Guide.
