Use Connect:Direct processes to submit Managed File Transfer transfer requests
We can submit a transfer request to the Connect:Direct bridge agent from a Connect:Direct process. Managed File Transfer provides commands that can be called from a RUN TASK statement in a Connect:Direct process.
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: start a 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: start a 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: start a 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 IBM 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.
- Create and submit a Connect:Direct process that calls Managed File Transfer by using the Connect:Direct Requester
The Connect:Direct Requester is a graphical user interface used to create and submit a Connect:Direct process that calls Managed File Transfer.
