Using Connect:Direct processes to submit IBM MQ Managed File Transfer transfer requests
You can submit a transfer request to the Connect:Direct® bridge agent from a Connect:Direct process. IBM® MQ Managed File Transfer provides commands that can be called from a RUN TASK statement in a Connect:Direct process.
IBM MQ Managed File Transfer provides the following commands for use with Connect:Direct processes:
- ftetag
- Specify this command in a step that precedes the ftebxfer or ftecxfer command to create the required audit information for the transfer. This command takes the source specification of the transfer as a parameter. For information about the format of source specification, see fteCreateTransfer (create new file transfer).
- ftebxfer
- Specify this command to create a file transfer request when the
queue manager that the transfer request is submitted to is located
on the same system as the Connect:Direct node that submits
the command. This command takes the same parameters as the fteCreateTransfer command.
For information about these parameters, see fteCreateTransfer (create new file transfer). This command also has
an additional parameter:
- -qmgrname
- Required. The name of the queue manager to submit the command to.
- ftecxfer
- Specify this command to create a file transfer request when the
queue manager that the transfer request is submitted to is located
on a different system to the Connect:Direct node that submits
the command. This command takes the same parameters as the fteCreateTransfer command.
For information about the parameters, see fteCreateTransfer (create new file transfer). This command also has
three additional parameters:
- -qmgrname
- Required. The name of the queue manager to submit the command to.
- -connname
- Required. The host and port of the queue manager to submit the
command to, specified in WebSphere® MQ
CONNAME format. For example,
host.example.com(1337). - -channelname
- Optional. The name of the channel to use to connect to the queue manager to submit the command to. If this is not specified, a default of SYSTEM.DEF.SVRCONN is used.
