Managing the query environment

The QMF for Workstation Administrator and the QMF for WebSphere® Administrator applications are used to perform the administrative tasks that enable the users of the QMF for Workstation and QMF for WebSphere applications to access data.

The tasks the administrator might perform are as follows:

Configuring JDBC drivers
Creating repositories
Connecting to repositories
