WebSphere Message Broker Explorer views

The WebSphere® Message Broker Explorer can be used to manage and administer your brokers and deployed resources.

The WebSphere Message Broker Explorer is an extension of the WebSphere MQ Explorer.

The WebSphere Message Broker Explorer provides several views that you can use to browse and update your broker resources.

If you cannot see the Brokers folder and Broker Archive Files folder in your MQ Explorer session, you have not installed the plug-ins specific to WebSphere Message Broker that are provided by WebSphere Message Broker Explorer. Close your WebSphere MQ Explorer session, follow the instructions to install the WebSphere Message Broker Explorer, then start the WebSphere MQ Explorer again.

Navigator view

The Navigator view shows folders that contain all the WebSphere MQ and broker resources that are currently available for you to administer from the WebSphere Message Broker Explorer. Right-click the WebSphere MQ folder to configure settings that affect the whole of WebSphere MQ on your system, and to perform other administration tasks.

The icons shown in the Navigator view indicate the status of the WebSphere MQ and WebSphere Message Broker objects.

Right-click the Brokers folder to create brokers and view existing broker resources. Right-click brokers, execution groups, and other WebSphere Message Broker objects to perform configuration and administration tasks.

Right-click the Broker Archive Files folder to view and deploy broker archive files to your brokers.

When you click a WebSphere MQ or WebSphere Message Broker object in the Navigator view, properties associated with the object are shown in the Content view.

Content view

The Content view shows properties associated with a selected object in the Navigator view. The properties that are shown depend on the associated object that has been selected. With some objects, you can double-click properties shown in the Content view to see more information, and to edit the properties.

Broker Statistics and Broker Statistics Graph views

Use the Broker Statistics and Broker Statistics Graph views in the WebSphere Message Broker Explorer to view snapshot accounting and statistics data as the broker produces it. For more information about viewing broker accounting and statistics data, see Viewing accounting and statistics data in the WebSphere Message Broker Explorer.

Policy Sets and Policy Set Bindings editor

Use the Policy Sets and Policy Set Bindings editor for editing, saving, importing, and exporting a policy set or binding. You can define all the WS-Security policies for a single message flow node, or a set of nodes. The policy set can be associated by the administrator with either a message flow or a message flow node. To access the Policy Sets and Policy Set Bindings editor, right-click the broker and click Properties. Select the Security tab and click Policy Sets. For more information about the Policy Sets and Policy Set Bindings editor, see Policy Sets and Policy Set Bindings editor.

Security Profiles editor

Use the Security Profiles editor to specify whether identity propagation, authentication, authorization, and mapping are performed on the identity of messages in the message flow, and if so, which external security provider is used. For more information about Security Profiles, see Security profiles.

DataPower Security wizard

Use the DataPower® Security wizard in the WebSphere Message Broker Explorer to configure an external DataPower appliance to handle the WS-Security Policy for your HTTP, HTTPS input, and SOAP nodes in your message flow. For more information about the DataPower Security wizard, see Configuring DataPower security settings.

Activity Log view

Use the Activity Log view in the WebSphere Message Broker Explorer to get an overview of recent activities in your message flows and associated external resources.

For more information about Activity Logs, see Using Activity logs. For more information about the Activity Log view, see Working with Activity log content.

Administration Log view

The Administration Log view shows administration log information for the broker selected in the Navigator view. The messages in the Administration log show the results from deployment or other actions you have performed on the broker. Double-click individual messages to read the full content of the messages in the Administration Log view.

You can save the messages from the Administration log, or permanently remove the administration log information messages.
