After a queue manager has been selected in the tree view, queues can be opened
quickly with the "Add queue" button below the menu bar.
Before adding a queue, the name of the queue must be entered in the text area
in the right of the "Add queue" button.
After the successful opening of the queue, a node with the queue´s name
and its current depth (number of current messages in the queue) is added under
the queue manager node in the tree view.
In the right pane of the window (Detail View) the "QueueInfo" tab shows information about the queue by reading the queue´s internal attributes and calling the methods of the API. Methods are displayed with brackets ( "()" ) in the "Attribute" column of the table in the tab.
For a description about the attributes please check the MQ Series manual.
The "Close selected queues" in the "Queues" menu closes all selected queues in the tree view and removes the nodes from the tree.
By double-clicking the queue node in the tree view, JMQBrowser refreshes the message list of the queue in the tree.
The header information of all the queue´s messages are loaded into the memory. Depending on the number of messages, a progress dialog appears. The loading of messages can be canceled at any time in the progress dialog.
The tree´s queue node may be expanded to view a numbered list of all available messages.
The messages in the tree view under the queue are displayed by a number (numbered by JMQBrowser not by the MQ Server) and the message ID in a String format (not always in a readable format).In brackets you can see the message length.
You can directly put a new message in one of your queues. Just select a queue in the tree and choose "Put New Message" from the "Queue" menu.
The message editor appears and shows the default values of the message attrbutes. You can edit the message as described in 8.
Please refresh the queue tree manually to get a refreshed view from the underlying queue.
