Switching between console types
You can switch between the New Web Console (which is the default web console for IBM® MQ 9.2) and the Dashboard Web Console (which was the web console for earlier versions of IBM MQ).
About this task
You switch between consoles by using the setmqweb command.
If you switch back to using the Dashboard Web Console, consult The Dashboard Web Console in the IBM MQ 9.1 documentation. for usage instructions.
To complete this task, you must be a user with certain privileges so that you can
use the dspmqweb and setmqweb commands:
On z/OS®, you must have authority to run the dspmqweb and setmqweb commands, and write access to the mqwebuser.xml file.
On all other operating systems, you must be a privileged user.

Before issuing either the setmqweb or dspmqweb commands on z/OS, you must set the WLP_USER_DIR environment variable, so that the variable points to your mqweb server configuration.
To do this, issue the following
command:
export WLP_USER_DIR=WLP_user_directory
where
WLP_user_directory
is the name of the directory that is passed
to crtmqweb
. For
example:export WLP_USER_DIR=/var/mqm/web/installation1
