Use this panel after WebSphere MQ has been installed, to create, view or
alter your default configuration. The Default Configuration is a special
setup that enables you to quickly and easily explore WebSphere MQ with the
Postcard, API Exerciser, and WebSphere MQ Explorer.
Note that all the fields on this panel are for display only, you cannot
alter them directly. To make alterations, press one of the buttons.
- Remote administration
- The Allow and Prevent buttons
take immediate effect, setting the queue manager shown.
- Default Cluster Membership
- If the configuration is joined to a cluster, the cluster name will appear
in Cluster Name, the Repository Location will
be either This computer or A remote computer,
and, if it is on a remote computer, the Repository Computer Name or Repository
IP Address will show what computer it is on.
- If the Name appears as None,
the configuration is not joined to a cluster. To join the default cluster,
press the Join Default Cluster button that will start
the default configuration wizard at the appropriate point.
- Set up Default Configuration
- If the default configuration has not been set up, click this button to
start the wizard. The panels in the wizard are explained here:
Note: - You will not be able to create the default configuration after you have
created any queue managers. If this is the case and you want to create the
default configuration, first delete all existing queue managers.
- If you choose not to create the default configuration, you can create
your own queue manager and use it from the Postcard or API Exerciser.
- The default configuration cluster is not a typical one because it has
only one repository, and it might have only one queue manager.
