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.
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.

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.
