6. Working with Queue Managers

The "QueueManager" menu may be used to open or close connections to queue managers.

Connecting to Queue Managers

"Connect" opens the login dialog to enter the connection parameters:

Host Name of the host or IP address where the Queue Manager runs
Port Port on which the Queue Manager listenes (default: 1414)
QManager Name of the Queue Manager
Channel Name of the Channel (if used)
Userid User name to connect to the Queue Manager
Password Password for the user to connect to the Queue Manager

For details about the parameters please refer to the IBM MQ Series documentation.

If the connection has been successfully opened, a node with the name of the queue manager is added to the tree view.

In the right pane of the window (Detail View) the "QueueManagerInfo" tab shows information about the queue manager by reading the queue manager internal attributes and calling the methods of the API. Methods are displayed with brackets ( "()" ) in the "Attribute" column of the table in the tab.

For a description about the attributes please check the MQ Series manual.

Disconnecting from Queue Managers

"Disconnect" closes the connection of the queue manager that is selected in the tree view. The node is removed from the tree view.
