I've used it before with MQ 7.0.1 and it works OK.
The problem here is getting it to work on MQ Explorer 7.5.
You might ask me why I want to use 7.5. It's because the earlier MQ explorer has always been a pain for me.
1. Extremely slow (on a 2 year old laptop).
2. Flickering of the navigation pane is very annoying.
3. Completely blanking the navigation pane regularly.
Apparently the MQ explorer in 7.1 and 7.5 is a lot better. Also some of Mark Taylors plugins need the newer version.
But I also want MBX which doesn't seem to like the newer MQ installation. |
I understand all that and I appreciate that it can be a pain. I too suffered this until a colleague pointed out I was connecting to everything at once and the auto refresh was very frequent which meant it was continually refreshing.
Once I sorted out teh connections to manual and the refresh rate to a viable number it worked fine.
Mind you a laptop 2 years old is not good can you not upgrade?

The 8001 MBX from Fix central installed OK. Now to add in MS0P 
However I notice MBX still has the annoying difference in how you have to provide the broker connection details compared to the standard QM connections (it doesn't offer you a CCDT option for one thing).
In fact I don't see why I should have to enter broker connection details at all if explorer has the queue manager details already stored. Also the QM entries in the CCDT should really appear as a selectable list. Oh well I can dream...
Anyway - my flickering and slow MQ explorer was not due to the auto-refresh values - I did tune those down. Apparently it was due to the navigation pane being a single Eclipse widget or something like that. When you have a large number of queue managers it didn't work too well. |

ahh right well that will explain it then
I agree about the MB additions, although I feel that a central config file for websphere would be better than way when you create broker in toolkit and teh properties are saved it will automatically add to MBX
good luck

Hi,
I downloaded trial version of MB v8 on Windows 7.
I installed MQ v7.5.With the help of IBM Installation manager v 1.4.4 I was able to install MB Toolkit.
Unfortunately I could not see the menu item for MB Explorer .
I refered http://www.mqseries.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=61935&start=0 for some information and I also checked in
the path C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\WebSphere MQ, but could not find \eclipseSDK33\eclipse\links\com.ibm.wmadmin.broker.explorer.link.
Is there anything else I could do ?

did you look in the Run time kit for a directory called MBExplorer?

MBX is added into MQ explorer.
It's not a separate menu option.
I find it a bit flakey - quite often I get Java null pointer exceptions. |

If you have trouble with MBX8 and MQX 7.5 you could try installing MQX 7.5.0.2 and MBX (IIB9.0.0.1)... See how that works for you.
