Comparing the properties of two objects

We can compare the properties of an object with another object of the same type; for example, compare a queue with another queue, a topic with another topic, or a channel with another channel.

We can compare two objects that are on the same queue manager, or on different queue managers.

To compare the properties of two objects:, complete the following steps.

Procedure

1. In the Content view, right-click the object that you want to compare, then click Compare with... The Compare With dialog opens.
2. In the Compare With dialog, select the object to compare with:
   • To compare with an object on the same queue manager, select the name of the object to compare with from the With container, and then browse for the queue manager or queue with which to compare it.
   • To compare with a queue on a different queue manager:
     1. Select a queue manager from the On Queue Manager list.
     2. Select the name of the object to compare with from the With container.
   • If you are comparing queue managers instead of queues, the option to browse for a queue is not available.

Results

By default, the show differences only check box is selected so that only the properties that are different are listed. To show all of the properties of each queue, clear the show differences only check box.
