MQEdit is a graphical live parsing editor for IBM® MQ Messages which will run under Windows® or Intel® Linux®.

Have you ever had a poison message, badly formed, and problematic? Want to just edit that one byte that caused all the problems, or correct the format with just a little tweak and then send it on its way? Well now you can.

Use MQEdit to correct messages; create new messages for use when developing new applications, or testing them out; move or copy messages easily with a simple drag and drop with your mouse. It's all here.

It's been a long-term request from many of our customers to have a message editing tool, and something we've been keen to produce. It's taken a while, but we hope you're happy with the results. We have already had some great feedback, for example...
