Work with IBM MQ objects

Each IBM MQ queue manager has several different types of object associated with it.

About this task

We can use the console to work with the following types of IBM MQ object:

• Queues
• Topics
• Subscriptions
• Communication objects:
  • Listeners
  • Queue manager channels
  • App channels

Procedure

To work with an IBM MQ object:

1. In the queue manager list view, click on the queue manager that owns the objects we want to work with.
2. Click on the Queues, Topics, Subscriptions, or Communication tab to select the type of object we want to work with.
3. Consult one of the following topics for detailed instructions for working with that type of object.

  We can use the IBM MQ Console to add and delete topics, and view and set the properties of a topic.

• Work with listeners
  We can use the IBM MQ Console to add and delete listeners, start and stop listeners, view and set listener properties, and manage the authority records for a listener.
