Removing an initial context

If you no longer want to access and administer JMS objects in a particular JNDI namespace, you can remove the initial context that defines the root of the JNDI namespace from the JMS Administered Objects folder in IBM® MQ Explorer.

About this task

Removing the initial context from the JMS Administered Objects folder in IBM MQ Explorer does not delete the JNDI namespace and the objects that it contains from the naming and directory service. If you later want to administer the JMS objects using IBM MQ Explorer, you can add the initial context again; for more information, see Adding an initial context.

If you do not want to administer JMS objects in the JNDI namespace now but intend to do so later, you can disconnect from the initial context without removing it from IBM MQ Explorer; for more information, see Connecting and disconnecting an initial context.

To remove an initial context from IBM MQ Explorer:

Procedure

  1. In the Navigator view, right-click the initial context, then click Remove
  2. When prompted, click Yes.

Results

The initial context is removed from the JMS Administered Objects folder in IBM MQ Explorer. The JNDI namespace is not deleted from the naming and directory service so you can add the initial context to IBM MQ Explorer again later.
