Quick tour of the IBM MQ Console - LTS only
When you first log in to the IBM® MQ Console you are taken to the landing page. From here you can choose to manage existing queue managers, create a queue manager or a queue, navigate to some education topics, or open the IBM MQ product information in IBM Documentation. You can also launch the application quick start, which guides you through the process of quickly and easily setting up messaging between new or existing queue managers and applications.

Alternatively, you can click the manage icon to start managing IBM MQ objects straightaway.

The manage view initially shows queue managers and their current state. You can also create new queue managers, and configure high availability and disaster recovery.

Each queue manager has a menu that lets you stop or configure a running queue manager, or start or delete a stopped queue manager.

Authority Records, Authentication Information objects, and Channel Authentication records for the queue manager can be found on the Security tab of the queue manager's Configuration page, where you can create and add new ones.
