About this task
To administer a queue manager in IBM MQ Explorer, you must connect IBM MQ Explorer to the queue manager. You can connect to any local queue manager, regardless of whether the queue manager is running. However, you can connect to a remote queue manager only if it is running.
You can also configure a queue manager so that IBM MQ Explorer automatically reconnects to it if the connection is lost. For more information, see Automatically reconnecting to a queue manager
