Quick tour of the New Web Console

IBM® MQ 9.1.5 has a new console, named the New Web Console, with a new look and feel.

This quick tour aims to get you familiar with the New Web Console. If you want to carry on using the existing console (the Dashboard Web Console), you can switch back to that, see Switching console types on IBM MQ for Multiplatforms.

When you first log in to the console you are taken to the landing page. From here you can choose to create a queue manager or a queue, navigate to some education topics, or open the IBM MQ product information in IBM Documentation.

Alternatively, you can click the manage icon to start managing IBM MQ objects straightaway.

Each queue manager has a menu that lets you stop or configure a running queue manager, or start or delete a stopped queue manager.
