Adding and removing queue managers manually

When you have created a manual queue manager set, we can manually add and remove queue managers.


Before starting

Before you start:
  1. Enable set visibility as described in: Display queue manager sets.
  2. Define a set for the queue managers to be added to or removed from as described in: Defining manual sets.


There are two ways to manually add and remove queue managers in the IBM MQ Explorer Navigator view.


Procedure

  • To add or remove queue managers using the first method:
    1. Right-click the set that we want to modify. The All set membership cannot be modified.
    2. Click Set Membership... to open the Set Membership dialog. All available queue managers are displayed. Queue managers that are already a member of the set have their corresponding check box already selected.
    3. To add the queue manager to the set, select the check box next to the corresponding queue manager name. To remove the queue manager from the set, clear the check box next to the corresponding queue manager. We can select multiple queue managers.
    4. Click OK to save your changes and close the dialog.

  • To add or remove queue managers using the second method:
    1. Right-click the queue manager we want to add to a queue manager set.
    2. Click Sets > Manual Set Membership... to open the Manual Set Membership dialog.
    3. To add the queue manager to a queue manager set, select the check box next to the corresponding queue manager set name. To remove the queue manager from that queue manager set, clear the check box next to the corresponding queue manager set. We can select multiple queue manager sets.
    4. Click OK to save your changes and close the dialog.
