Showing hidden queue managers

We can show queue managers that have previously been hidden from the Navigator view. You can restore all hidden queue managers together, or restore a specific queue manager. We can also show hidden queue managers that are grouped in a queue manager Set.


If we have hidden local or remote queue managers from view in the Queue Managers folder and you are now required to administer those queue managers, we can show the queue managers again.

To restore all hidden queue managers in one go, complete the following steps:

In the Navigator view, right-click the Queue Managers folder, then click Show All Hidden Queue Managers

All hidden queue managers are shown in the Queue Managers folder.
