Rename IBM MQ Objects

The “Rename” feature allows you to rename certain IBM MQ objects in Manage.

You must have the rename permission for the specific object (for example, Rename queues). The permission can be enabled in the Secure application.
In versions 11.1 and earlier, both the Copy and Delete object permissions are needed to be able to rename an object. 

To use this feature, select one of the following valid IBM MQ objects:

• Queue
• Channel
• Listener
• Namelist
• Process
• Service
• Subscription

1. Select the checkbox next to the object you want to rename.
2. Then, go to Commands > Rename in the Selected menu. The Object Rename dialog will open.
   
3. Enter the new name and click Ok. The object will be renamed.  
   Renaming a queue object will purge the queue's messages.
