Copying an administered object

To copy an administered object in IBM® MQ Explorer, you create a new object based on the existing object that you want to copy.

1. In the Navigator view, right-click the relevant object folder, then open the New wizard.
   For example, right-click the Connection Factories folder, then click New > Connection Factory.
2. Select the options that you require until you get to page of the wizard on which you can choose to create the object with attributes like an existing object.
3. Select the Create with attributes like an existing object check box.
4. Click Select The Select the Like Object dialog opens. The dialog lists all of the objects in the JNDI namespace that match the selections you have already made in the wizard. For example, if you are creating a connection factory, the dialog lists all the connection factories that use the same transport type, messaging provider, and connection factory class as the one you are creating.
5. Click the object that you want to base the new object on, then click OK.
6. Click Finish to create the object.
