The menu to import queue managers
In MO71 V8.0.4 and MQEdit V9.0.0 you were able to import queue manager location information from a Client Channel Definition Table (CCDT) file, and in MO71 V9.2.0 and MQEdit V9.3.3 you were able to import queue manager location information from a JSON CCDT file. You can drive this from the File menu, which then brings up a dialog.
Import CCDT Dialog – choose your queue managers
The dialog will start by looking for the CCDT in the default location, but you can change this by navigating to the CCDT file you wish to use before clicking on Read CCDT. If the file name ends with .json then the CCDT will be treated as a JSON format file, otherwise it will be treated as a binary file.
The list below will show all the queue managers that were found in the CCDT. If any of the found queue managers are already locations in MO71 or MQEdit, the CCDT entry will have a ‘no entry’ symbol beside it showing it cannot be added again. You can click on any others to indicate you wish to import them and the red cross will change to a green tick. You can also set the group you want them added to and the network names that should be applied to them, as well as setting the MVS check box if needed.
Once you have selected all the ones you want, click on Import, and you’re done.
You can also import local queue managers; queue manager location details from MQ Explorer exported files; and other MO71 or MQEdit configuration files.
And of course, once imported, you can edit the locations to change the location labels and any other settings. If you have lots of newly imported locations you might like to consider using the Change Multiple Location dialog.
The new version can be downloaded from the MO71 Download Page or the MQEdit Download Page. If you don’t have a licence and would like to try out MO71 or MQEdit then send an email to support@mqgem.com and a 1-month trial licence will be sent to you.
