Creating and configuring queue managers and objects

All of the queue managers and objects that you can administer in WebSphere® MQ Explorer are contained in folders in the Navigator view. For example, the Queue Managers folder contains all of the queue managers that you can administer in WebSphere MQ Explorer; the Channels folder contains all of a queue manager's channels. For most folders, when you right-click the folder, a menu is displayed so that you can perform tasks such as creating a new object.

When you click a folder in the Navigator view, the contents of the folder are displayed in the Content view. For example, when you click the Queues folder, the queue manager's queues are displayed in the Content view. You can then right-click an object in the Content view to perform tasks such as opening the object's properties dialog, and deleting the object.
