Administering the WebSphere MQ Managed File Transfer Service Web Gateway

You can create and delete file spaces and control the users that have access to individual file spaces.

The Web Gateway can be administered in the following ways:

By using the Web Gateway administrative console
By using the RESTful administration API and constructing HTTP requests manually

The examples in this section demonstrate how to create HTTP requests to administer Web Gateway artifacts. For more information about the format of these requests and the Web Gateway administration API, see Web Gateway administration API reference.

These examples are for users with administrative rights. If you are looking for examples of using the Web Gateway for users without administrative rights, for example to upload files or query the files in a file space, see the topic Using the WebSphere MQ Managed File Transfer Service Web Gateway.

Before configuring or using the Web Gateway, refer to Scenarios for the Web Gateway and How the Web Gateway fits into your WebSphere MQ Managed File Transfer topology. These topics explain the purpose and components of the Web Gateway.
