5. Working with XML configurations

To work with XML configuration files you must use the "File" menu. Configuration file may be saved or loaded.

Saving the actual configuration

JMQBrowser allows you to save your actual configuration in the form of an XML file, i.e.

• the queue managers you are connected to
• the queues that you have opened

You only have to select the "Save configuration" item in the "File" menu and choose a file name in the appearing file chooser.

Loading a configuration file

With the "Load configuration" item in the "File" menu, a previously saved configuration file can be loaded by the help of a file chooser dialog.

JMQBrowser connects to all listed queue managers automatically and opens all the listed queues.

Editing a configuration file

Configuration files are stored in an XML format, they may be edited with a usual text editor.

Below you can see a sample configuration file:

<JMQCONFIG>
  <QMGR NAME="testqm1">
   <CONNECTION HOST="host1" PORT="1414" CHANNEL="channel1" USER_ID="user1" PASSWORD="password1"/>
   <QUEUE NAME="t1q2"/>
   <QUEUE NAME="t1q1"/>
 </QMGR>
 <QMGR NAME="testqm2">
   <CONNECTION HOST="host2" PORT="1414" CHANNEL="channel2" USER_ID="user2" PASSWORD="password2"/>
   <QUEUE NAME="t2q1"/>
   <QUEUE NAME="t2q2"/>
 </QMGR>
</JMQCONFIG>

JMQBrowser configuration files must always start with <JMQCONFIG> tag.
Inside this tag there must be a list of the queue managers to connect to (<QMGR NAME="qm_name">).
Inside the QMGR tag there must be a tag with the connection properties (<CONNECTION HOST="hostname_or_ip" PORT="1414" CHANNEL="channel_name" USER_ID="userid" PASSWORD="password"/>) and a list of tags with the queues to open ( <QUEUE NAME="queue_name"/>).
