Editing an existing scheme

We can edit any schemes that you created previously and we can also edit the schemes that are supplied with IBM MQ Explorer; for example, the Standard for Queues scheme. After modifying the layout of the status table, we can reset the width of the columns to their default values.


We can edit a scheme that is currently applied to the table that we are viewing, or edit another scheme. The changes to the scheme are automatically applied to any tables that are using that scheme.

  1. Edit the current scheme
  2. Edit a non-current scheme
  3. Reset the status table


Procedure

  • [OPTION 1] Edit the current scheme
    1. Make sure that the type of object for which we are creating a scheme is displayed in the Content view, then, in the Content view, click the small arrow next to the current scheme name. A menu is displayed.
    2. From the menu, click Edit Current Scheme. The Edit Scheme dialog opens.
    3. In the Edit Scheme dialog, make the changes, then click OK. For more information about the dialog, see Create a scheme.

  • [OPTION 2] Edit a non-current scheme
