IBM Integration Explorer views

The IBM® Integration Explorer can be used to manage and administer your integration nodes (brokers) and deployed resources.

The IBM Integration Explorer is an extension of the WebSphere® MQ Explorer.

The IBM Integration Explorer provides several views that you can use to browse and update your broker resources.

If you cannot see the Integration Nodes folder and Broker Archive Files folder in your MQ Explorer session, you have not installed the plug-ins specific to IBM Integration Bus that are provided by IBM Integration Explorer. Close your WebSphere MQ Explorer session, follow the instructions to install the IBM Integration Explorer, then start the WebSphere MQ Explorer again.

Navigator view

The Navigator view shows folders that contain all the WebSphere MQ and integration node resources that are currently available for you to administer from the IBM Integration Explorer. Right-click the WebSphere MQ folder to configure settings that affect the whole of WebSphere MQ on your system, and to perform other administration tasks.

The icons shown in the Navigator view indicate the status of the WebSphere MQ and IBM Integration objects.

Right-click the Integration Nodes folder to create integration nodes and view existing integration node resources. Right-click integration nodes, integration servers, and other IBM Integration objects to perform configuration and administration tasks.

Right-click the Broker Archive Files folder to view and deploy broker archive files to your integration nodes.

When you click a WebSphere MQ or IBM Integration object in the Navigator view, properties associated with the object are shown in the Content view.

Content view

The Content view shows properties associated with a selected object in the Navigator view. The properties that are shown depend on the associated object that has been selected. With some objects, you can double-click properties shown in the Content view to see more information, and to edit the properties.

Broker Statistics and Broker Statistics Graph views

Use the Broker Statistics and Broker Statistics Graph views in the IBM Integration Explorer to view snapshot accounting and statistics data as the broker produces it. For more information about viewing broker accounting and statistics data, see Viewing accounting and statistics data in the IBM Integration Explorer.

Policy Sets and Policy Set Bindings editor

Use the Policy Sets and Policy Set Bindings editor for editing, saving, importing, and exporting a policy set or binding. You can define all the WS-Security policies for a single message flow node, or a set of nodes. The policy set can be associated by the administrator with either a message flow or a message flow node. To access the Policy Sets and Policy Set Bindings editor, right-click the integration node and click Properties. Select the Security tab and click Policy Sets. For more information about the Policy Sets and Policy Set Bindings editor, see Policy Sets and Policy Set Bindings editor.

Security Profiles editor

Use the Security Profiles editor to specify whether identity propagation, authentication, authorization, and mapping are performed on the identity of messages in the message flow, and if so, which external security provider is used. For more information about Security Profiles, see Security profiles.

DataPower Security wizard

Use the DataPower® Security wizard in the IBM Integration Explorer to configure an external DataPower appliance to handle the WS-Security Policy for your HTTP, HTTPS input, and SOAP nodes in your message flow. For more information about the DataPower Security wizard, see Configuring DataPower security settings.

Activity Log view

Use the Activity Log view in the IBM Integration Explorer to get an overview of recent activities in your message flows and associated external resources.

For more information about Activity Logs, see Using Activity logs. For more information about the Activity Log view, see Working with Activity log content.

Administration Log view

The Administration Log view shows administration log information for the integration node selected in the Navigator view. The messages in the Administration log show the results from deployment or other actions you have performed on the integration node. Double-click individual messages to read the full content of the messages in the Administration Log view.

You can save the messages from the Administration log, or permanently remove the administration log information messages.

For more information about the Administration Log view, see Administration Log view.
