Use the initial panel

 

For an introduction to invoking the operations and control panels, using the function keys, and getting help, see the WebSphere MQ for z/OS System Administration Guide.

To use the operations and control panels, have the correct security authorization; see the WebSphere MQ for z/OS System Setup Guide for information. Figure 1 shows the panel that is displayed when you start a panel session. The text after the panel explains the actions you should perform in this panel.

From this panel we can:

• Select the action you want to perform by typing in the appropriate number in the Action field.

• Specify the object type that you want to work with. Press F4 for a list of object types if you are not sure what they are.

• Display a list of objects of the type specified. Type in an asterisk (*) in the Name field and press Enter to display a list of objects (of the type specified) that have already been defined on this subsystem. We can then select one or more objects to work with in sequence. Figure 2 shows a list of channels produced in this way.

• Specify the disposition in the queue-sharing group of the objects you want to work with in the Disposition field. The disposition determines where the object is kept and how the object behaves.

• Choose the local queue manager, or queue-sharing group to which you want to connect in the Connect name field. If you want the commands to be issued on a remote queue manager, choose either the Target queue manager field or the Action queue manager field, depending upon whether the remote queue manager is not or is a member of a queue-sharing group. If the remote queue manager is not a member of a queue-sharing group, choose the Target queue manager field. If the remote queue manager is a member of a queue-sharing group, choose the Action queue manager field.

• Choose the wait time for responses to be received in the Response wait time field.
