Managed File Transfer is installed as a component of
IBM® MQ on AIX®, Linux®, and Windows, and (from IBM MQ 9.2.0) on z/OS®.
Managed File Transfer remains as a separate product on IBM i.
Before you begin
Before you install Managed File Transfer, check that your system
meets both the hardware and software requirements of the product. See System
Requirements for IBM MQ.
For all platforms, you must have one IBM WebSphere® MQ 7.0, or
higher, queue manager available in your Managed File Transfer network
to use as the coordination queue manager.
Note: If you are migrating or upgrading an existing IBM MQ installation, you must update database logger instances
before other parts of the Managed File Transfer network so that these
instances can correctly process the latest versions of the transfer log messages that they
receive.
The following steps describe installing Managed File Transfer as a
component of IBM MQ on AIX, Linux, and Windows. For the other platforms, see Installing IBM MQ Advanced for z/OS and Installing Managed File Transfer on IBM i.
