GET
Use the HTTP GET method with the transfer
resource to request
information about transfers and transfer status. You can query only the transfers that are initiated
after the mqweb server is started.
- You must set a coordination queue manager before you can use the
transfer
resource. For more information, see Configuring the REST API for MFT. - The mqweb server caches information about transfers and returns this information when a request is made. This cache is reset when the mqweb server is restarted. You can see if the server has been restarted by viewing the console.log and messages.log files, or on z/OS®, looking at the output from the started task.
For more information about configuring the MFT REST service, see Configuring the REST API for MFT.
Resource URL
https://host:port/ibmmq/rest/v2/admin/mft/transfer/{transferID}
v1
where the URL uses v2
. For example, the first
part of the URL is as follows:
https://host:port/ibmmq/rest/v1/
- transferID
- Optionally specifies the ID of the transfer to query.
You can use HTTP instead of HTTPS if you enable HTTP connections. For more information about enabling HTTP, see Configuring the HTTP and HTTPS ports.
Optional query parameters
- attributes
- Specifies a comma-separated list of attributes to retrieve.
- limit
- Specifies the maximum number of transfers to retrieve.
- after
- Specifies a transfer ID. All transfers that are initiated after the specified transfer are retrieved. If you specify after, you cannot also specify before.
- before
- Specifies a transfer ID. All transfers that are initiated before that particular transfer are retrieved. If you specify before, you cannot also specify after.
Request headers
- Authorization
- This header must be sent if you are using basic authentication. For more information, see Using HTTP basic authentication with the REST API.
Request body format
None.
Security requirements
The caller must be authenticated to the mqweb server and must be a member of one
or more of the MFTWebAdmin
, MFTWebAdminRO
or
MQWebUser
roles. For more information about security for the administrative REST API, see IBM MQ Console and REST API security.
The MQWebUser
role requires Principal
authority, and that principal requires subscribe authority to the relevant topic, that is
SYSTEM.FTE/Transfer. The operation succeeds only if the principal of the
MQWebUser
role has authority to subscribed topic.
If token based security is used, the LTPA token that is used to authenticate the user must be provided with the request as a cookie. For more information about token-based authentication, see Using token-based authentication with the REST API.

Response headers
- Content-Type
- This header is returned with a value of
application/json;charset=utf-8
. - ibm-mq-rest-mft-total-transfers
- This header is returned with a value that is the total number of transfers that have details available in the mqweb server cache.
Response body format
transfer
. Each element in the array is a JSON
object that represents information about a transfer. Each of these JSON objects can contain the
following objects and attributes. Which objects and attributes are returned depends on the URL that
was specified for the request:- id
- String.
- job
- JSON object.
- userProperties
- JSON object.
- sourceAgent
- JSON object.
- destinationAgent
- JSON object.
- originator
- JSON object.
- transferSet
- JSON object.
- status
- JSON object.
- statistics
- JSON object.
For more information, see Response body attributes for transfers.
If an error occurs, see REST API error handling.
Examples
The following examples use the v2 resource URL. If you
are using a version of IBM MQ earlier than IBM MQ 9.1.5 you must use the v1 resource URL instead. That is, in
the resource URL, substitute v1
where the example URL uses v2
.
The following example returns a default set of data in the response.
