Define schemes to change the order of columns in tables
When object data is displayed in IBM MQ Explorer in tables, we can customized the order of the columns in the tables.
For example, queues have a large number of attributes; when you display the contents of a Queues folder in the Content view, if you are not interested the creation date and time of the queues, we can choose not to display those attributes, or we can move those columns to somewhere else in the table.
The changes that you make are saved as schemes so that we can apply the same set of changes to the same type of objects on other queue managers too.
IBM MQ Explorer supplies and applies standard schemes. Because IBM MQ for z/OS® for queue managers and objects can have slightly different attributes, each object scheme has settings for the object on Multiplatform queue managers and for z/OS queue managers. The standard schemes include all the attributes for objects of that type. For example, the Standard for Queues scheme includes all the attributes for queues on Multiplatforms and z/OS platforms so that we can be sure that we can see all the attributes for the queues that are listed.
To apply an existing scheme to a table:
- In the Content view, or dialog that contains the table, click the small arrow next to the current scheme name. A menu is displayed.
- From the menu, click Select Scheme The Select Scheme dialog opens.
- In the Select Scheme dialog, click the scheme to apply. The attributes that the scheme will display are listed in the dialog.
- Click OK.
The selected scheme is applied to the folder of objects.
