Task: Track Requested Transfers

To track requested transfers you must create reply queues to receive status messages and create and configure an instance of the WebSphere® MQ Suite Async Receive service to receive the messages and call the business process to process them. For Sterling B2B Integrator 5.2.3 and higher, if you are integrating Sterling File Gateway 2.2.3 and higher with WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition, you must download the J2EE(TM) Connector Architecture Specification Interface Classes connector.jar file and install it with install3rdParty, before you configure WebSphereMQ Suite Async Receive for Sterling File Gateway
