Description
The WebSphere MQ Healthcheck Explorer
plug-in enables the WebSphere MQ Explorer to
search across the MQ environment, using an
Eclipse-style "Search View". Objects can be
searched for by name, by description, or by the
contents of any of the object attributes.
Searches can be defined using wildcards allowing
partial names or attribute types to be
specified.
POSSIBLE USES
» Finding
targets Several MQ object definitions contain
references to other MQ objects. Search can be
used to help find these target MQ objects, such
as queues identified in the remote queue name
attribute of remote queue
definitions.
Another example is to match
channel pairs - for example, searching for the
receiver channel object related to a given
sender channel. This can be done directly from
the context menu for channel objects, which will
prefill the necessary values into the Search
dialog.
» Finding related
objects Where a naming convention is used to
identify the usage of MQ objects, Search can be
used to find a group of objects across multiple
queue managers. For example, if 'SALES_' is used
as a prefix for all objects related to sales,
you could search for 'SALES_*' and see all
objects in that group. This could be a
collection of all sender channels, receiver
channels, transmission queues, remote queue
definitions and local and alias queues with a
related purpose.
As you can access the
Properties View for each object found from the
Search View, this allows you to make changes to
a related group of objects without having to
manually move between multiple queue managers in
the Explorer Navigator.
» Making changes
safely Before deleting or renaming any MQ
objects, you can search across your MQ
environment to see if there are any other
objects which rely on, or in some way refer to
that object. In this way, you can make changes
safely.
