Create and configure a queue manager set

Create and configure a queue manager set

Queue manager sets enable you to group queue managers in folders, and enable you to make actions to all the queue managers in the set. This enables you to subdivide your queue managers, for example into 'test' and 'production' sets, or into sets based on the operating system of the platform.

About this task
Grouping queue managers is particularly useful if you administer large numbers of queue managers using IBM MQ Explorer, because queue managers belonging to particular applications, departments, or companies can be grouped together.

Displaying queue manager sets
Before we can work with queue manager sets, you must first display the sets in IBM MQ Explorer. Although the queue manager sets still exist when the sets are hidden, you are unable to manage them.
Defining manual sets
We can define manual queue manager sets that do not contain any queue managers, and add queue managers when required.
Defining automatic sets
We can define queue manager sets that automatically include relevant queue managers.
Managing filters for automatic sets
We can add, edit, copy and delete filters to configure automatic queue manager sets.
Add and removing queue managers manually
When we have created a manual queue manager set, we can manually add and remove queue managers.
Add and removing queue managers automatically
We can define filters to automatically manage the membership of your queue manager sets.
Properties of automatic sets
An automatic queue manager set has several properties that we can edit.
Properties of manual sets
A manual queue manager set has only one property that we can edit.
Editing the properties of an automatic set
We can edit the properties of an existing automatic set.
Editing the properties of a manual set
We can edit the properties of an existing manual set.
Manage Sets properties
You manage set properties through the Manage Sets dialog.
Copying an existing set
Copy an existing set to create a new queue manager set with the same configuration.
Delete a set
Deleting a queue manager set deletes the set itself, but not the queue managers within the set.
Copying queue managers to a set
Copying queue managers from one set to another is an easy way to add a queue manager to a selection of sets quickly, without the need to having to add the queue manager to each set individually for example.
Dragging queue managers
Queue managers can be dragged into sets, as well as dragged out of sets.
