Configuring queue managers and objects

You can configure many of the attributes of queue managers and their objects from MQ Explorer using the properties dialogs.

About this task

To configure a queue manager or object using the properties dialog, complete the following steps.

Procedure

  1. In the Navigator view, click the relevant folder to list its contents in the Content view.
    For example, if you want to configure a queue, click the Queues folder to list the queue manager's queues in the Content view.
  2. In the Content view, right-click the queue manager or object, then click Properties.
    The properties dialog for the queue manager or object opens.
  3. Edit the properties as required.
  4. To apply the changes without closing the dialog, click Apply, or to close the dialog and save your changes, click OK.

Results

You can see many of your changes immediately but some changes, for example, changing the default location of the queue manager's SSL key repository, do not take effect until you have stopped and restarted the queue manager.
