Administer MFT

Use Managed File Transfer commands to administer Managed File Transfer. We can also use the IBM MQ Explorer for some of the administrative tasks.


Start transfer by placing a message in an agent command queue

We can also start a file transfer by putting a file transfer message on the command queue of the source agent. An example command queue name is SYSTEM.FTE.COMMAND.AGENT01. You must ensure that the message reaches the command queue of the correct source agent; if the message is received by an agent that does not match the source information in the XML, the message is rejected.

The transfer request XML must conform to the FileTransfer.xsd schema and use the <request> element as the root element. See File transfer request message format for information about the structure and content of a transfer request message. How you put the transfer request message on an agent command queue is task-specific. For example, we can use the IBM MQ Java API to put a message on the queue programmatically.
