By default, the Navigator view shows all of the queue managers on the computer on which
IBM MQ Explorer is installed. However, if we have any queue
managers that you are not currently administering, we can, if you wish, choose to hide them. You
can also show and hide remote queue managers.
About this task
Before we can administer a queue manager in IBM MQ Explorer, you must show the queue manager in the Queue
Managers folder in the IBM MQ Explorer Navigator
view. By default, all of the queue managers on the computer on which IBM MQ Explorer is installed are detected automatically and are shown
in the Queue Managers folder. We can hide queue
managers if we don't want to administer them in IBM MQ Explorer.
If you are configuring JMS administered objects, we can add a queue manager to IBM MQ Explorer from a connection factory that defines the queue
manager's connection details. You are actually creating a connection to IBM MQ Explorer from the connection factory that defines the queue
manager's details.
We can also
administer remote queue managers using cluster connections if you
are already connected to a queue manager that belongs to a cluster
to which the remote queue manager also belongs.
