Grail Software Solutions are pleased to announce an update of GSS Topic Dashboard Starter Edition Version 1.0.0 to Version 2.0.0

This is an Eclipseâ„¢ RCP application designed to help educate end-users on IBMÂ® MQ. An example of an end-user could be a developer wanting to explore and become familiar with the features of IBM MQ pub/sub before writing applications that use it.

GSS Topic Dashboard can be used as an education tool to learn about the various options for publishing and consuming publications using IBMÂ® MQ, and for an application developer or performance tester to generate messages, watch activity on a selected destination and test topic wildcarding.

This version has the following enhancements:

1. Now an Eclipseâ„¢ RCP application, making it much easier to install/uninstall.

2. A message viewer has been added to view published messages and consumed publications.
- Contents of the viewer can be paused
- Messages can be cleared
- Messages can be exported to a file

3. The published message size can be set.

4. New preferences to
- Set message rate graphical type for each view
- Show Message Viewer
- Control contents of the Message Viewer
- Control use of the default connection

5. Only 2 subscribers are now shown by default, but more can be added.

Using IBMÂ® MQ 8.0.0.3 with an optional installable component for IBMÂ® MQ Light, MQ Light applications can be deployed into an existing MQ network along side your other MQ applications. GSS Topic Dashboard can be used with another of our products, GSS Topic Dashboard for MQ Light to explore and test this extended messaging environment. When both products are connected to the same IBM MQ queue manager environment, messages sent by the GSS Sender view of GSS Topic Dashboard for MQ Light can be seen in the GSS Subscriber view of GSS Topic Dashboard as well as its own GSS Receiver view. Similarly messages sent by the GSS Publisher view of GSS Topic Dashboard can be seen in the GSS Receiver view of GSS Topic Dashboard for MQ Light as well as its own GSS Publisher view.
