Defining schemes to change the order of columns in tables
When object data is displayed in IBM® MQ Explorer in tables, you can customize the order of the columns in the tables.
About this task
Queues have a large number of attributes. When you display the contents of a Queues folder in the Content view, you can choose not to display certain attributes, or change the order in which the attributes are displayed. For example, if you are not interested in the creation date and time of the queues, you can choose not to display those attributes or move those columns to somewhere else in the table.
The changes that you make are saved as schemes so that you can apply the same set of changes to the same type of objects on other queue managers too.
IBM MQ Explorer supplies and applies standard
schemes. Because IBM MQ for z/OS® for queue managers and
objects can have slightly different attributes, each object scheme has settings for the object on
Multiplatforms queue managers and for z/OS queue
managers. The standard schemes include all the attributes for objects of that type. For example, the
Standard for Queues scheme includes all the attributes for queues on
Multiplatforms and z/OS platforms so that you can be
sure that you can see all the attributes for the queues that are listed.
To apply an existing scheme to a table, complete the following steps:
Procedure
-
In the Content view, or dialog that contains
the table, click the small arrow next to the current scheme name.
A menu is displayed.
-
From the menu, click Select Scheme.
The Select Scheme dialog is displayed.
-
In the Select Scheme dialog, click the scheme
that you want to apply. The attributes that the scheme displays are listed in the dialog.
- Click OK.
