Changing the refresh frequency of queue manager information
In IBM® MQ Explorer, the information about local and remote queue managers is automatically refreshed at set intervals. You can change the refresh frequency for a specific queue manager, or the default refresh frequency for all new queue managers. You can also prevent a specific queue manager's information from being refreshed automatically.
About this task
By default, the information that is displayed about remote queue managers is refreshed less frequently than the information about local queue managers because of the increase in network traffic every time that the information is requested from remote systems.
You can also prevent specific queue managers being refreshed automatically. For example, if you know that a queue manager will remain stopped for a period of time, you could prevent IBM MQ Explorer requesting information about it and so reduce the network traffic.
