To start the Administration Console, use one of the following methods, depending on how Message Queue was installed:
On IPS package-based installations, enter the command
IMQ_HOME/bin/imqadmin
On Solaris SVR4 package-based installations, enter the command
/usr/bin/imqadmin
On Linux RPM package-based installations, enter the command
/opt/sun/mq/bin/imqadmin
You may need to wait a few seconds before the Administration Console window is displayed (see Figure 2–1).
Take a few seconds to examine the Administration Console window. It has a menu bar at the top, a tool bar just below it, a navigation pane to the left, a result pane to the right (now displaying graphics identifying the Sun GlassFish Message Queue product), and a status pane at the bottom.
As you work with the Administration Console, you can use the Refresh command on the View menu to update the visual display of any element or group of elements, such as a list of brokers or object stores.
