Is anyone aware of an easy way to "clear" MQ explorer's connections without having to manually remove each individual connection?

I wasn't able to find where the *xml file was being stored to try to delete it.

Thanks for any suggestions.

You mean other than deleting or switching to a different Eclipse workspace?

They're in the WMQ_Handles.xml file in the com.ibm.mq.explorer.ui plugin folder in the workspace metadata.

Thanks for the guidance. I did finally have time to get back to this and I did edit the WMQ_Handles.xml file to remove the connections. Explorer still came up with all of the old connections.

Let me better explain our situation and see if that helps clarify my dilemma. We have MQ Explorer distributed to our MQ developers and have a specific client channel in the config that is secured for their use. This channel is being used for the connections to all of our queue managers. We also have a separate configuration with connections set up with our admin client channel. I'd like to easily be able to "clear" my MQ Explorer, import the development config, make any changes I may need to, then export and "clear" MQ Explorer again to reimport my admin config.

We have quite a few connections and rather than going through and removing each ne individually, I was hoping there was a quicker way. Is there a better way of doing this?

Thanks for any help.
