You can use the Default Configuration panel after IBM® MQ has been installed, to create, view or alter your default
configuration.
The default configuration is a special setup that enables you to quickly and easily explore
IBM MQ with the Postcard application and IBM MQ Explorer.
Note that all the fields on this panel are for display only, you
cannot alter them directly. To make alterations, click one of the
buttons.
- Remote administration
- The Allow and Prevent buttons
take immediate effect, setting the queue manager shown.
- Default Cluster Membership
- If the configuration is joined to a cluster, the cluster name
is displayed in Cluster Name, the Repository
Location will be either This computer or A
remote computer, and, if it is on a remote computer, the Repository
Computer Name or Repository IP Address will
show what computer it is on.
- If the Name is displayed as None,
the configuration is not joined to a cluster. To join the default
cluster, click Join Default Cluster to start
the default configuration wizard at the appropriate point.
- Set up Default Configuration
- If the default configuration has not been set up, click this button to start the Default
Configuration wizard. For more information about the panels in the wizard, see the following topics:
Note:
- You will not be able to create the default configuration after you have created any queue
managers. If this is the case and you want to create the default configuration, first delete all
existing queue managers.
- If you choose not to create the default configuration, you can create your own queue manager and
use it from the Postcard application.
- The default configuration cluster is not a typical one because it has only one repository, and
it might have only one queue manager.
