Installing WebSphere Message Broker Explorer
To use WebSphere® Message Broker Explorer only, without installing the complete WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit, use the WebSphere Message Broker Explorer installation wizard to install the WebSphere Message Broker Explorer.
- Alternatively, to install the complete WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit, see Installing the WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit.
- You can install WebSphere Message Broker components and prerequisite products in silent mode on Linux, UNIX, and Windows. For more information, see Installing WebSphere Message Broker components and prerequisite products by using the sample script file.
- The WebSphere Message Broker Explorer installation searches the Windows registry for a version of WebSphere MQ Explorer. If registry access is disabled by a local security policy such as "Prevent access to registry editing tools", the installation cannot find WebSphere MQ Explorer. Before you install WebSphere Message Broker Explorer, remove this restriction temporarily and reinstate it after the installation.
One version only of the WebSphere Message Broker Explorer can be active at any one time because one version only of the WebSphere MQ Explorer can be installed on any one system.
If you already have WebSphere Message Broker Explorer installed, and you decide to install a later version of WebSphere Message Broker Explorer, you must upgrade the existing version. For more information, see Migrating the WebSphere Message Broker Explorer.
If you add another installation of WebSphere MQ after you install WebSphere Message Broker Explorer, you must install WebSphere Message Broker Explorer again to enable it in all WebSphere MQ installations.
