    The following additional fields are displayed:

    • Viewlets template:  Select a template for your viewlet.  This is optional.
    • Product:  Select the object product type for the initial viewlets that will be generated.  Choose from IBM MQ, IIB/ACE, EMS, Kafka, Solace, or RabbitMQ. The viewlets that are generated for each product are listed below.
      • IBM MQ:  Local queue and channel viewlets.
      • EMS:  Queue, route, bridge, and connection viewlets.
      • Kafka:  Topic viewlets.

    • Queue Manager:  Select a specific queue manager, or use an asterisk to include all objects from all queue managers on the selected node(s).
