Working with z/OS shared objects inside the MQ Console 9.4.2
To enhance the utility of the IBM MQ Console for z/OS customers, from 9.4.2, the ability to manage coupling facility structures and shared message data sets has been added, mirroring the functionality available in MQ Explorer today.
Requirements
When running a version of the MQ Console at version 9.4.2 or later, two new tabs, “Coupling facility structures” and “Shared message data sets”, will appear on the sidebar of the queues page, provided the queue manager is part of a queue sharing group. These options will only show for z/OS queue managers as other versions of MQ do not make use of CF structures or shared message data sets.
Changes to the Overview page
The queue manager's overview page will now display a status bar indicating how much of the available coupling facility storage has been used. If the status bar is not shown, the queue manager does not belong to a queue sharing group.
