This topic provides an overview of WebSphere® MQ
Configuration agent and
explains how it can help you manage the configuration of your WebSphere MQ environment.
It also contains a scenario that is designed to explain how the
elements of WebSphere MQ
Configuration agent work
together to help you ensure a cohesive network whose interrelationships
are correctly defined.
Building a network for your WebSphere MQ messaging
middleware can be a slow and difficult task. As your network grows
and queue managers span dozens of systems running on a variety of
operating systems, it becomes even more difficult to determine where
and how to configure new queue managers and their resources.
The
WebSphere MQ
Configuration agent simplifies
the tasks of defining your configuration of
WebSphere MQ.
You can use
WebSphere MQ
Configuration agent to
do the following tasks:
- Manage your WebSphere MQ network,
including local or remote nodes, from a single point of control
- See how your WebSphere MQ queue
managers and resources are related by viewing a hierarchical representation
of your entire network
- Manipulate WebSphere MQ objects
across one or more networks of queue managers from a single workstation
- Base configurations on prototype models so you can implement global
updates with the click of a mouse
- Save time and resources by doing many difficult development tasks
automatically
- Group related WebSphere MQ resources
together in ways that reflect the business-oriented relationships
between them and the logical structure of your enterprise
