Create a file transfer template using IBM MQ Explorer

We can create a file transfer template from IBM MQ Explorer or from the command line. We can then use that template to create new file transfers using the template details or submit the template to start the file transfer.


To create a file transfer template from the command line, use the fteCreateTemplate command.

To create a file transfer template using the Create New Template for Managed File Transfer wizard in IBM MQ Explorer, use the following steps:


Procedure

  1. In the Navigator view, click Managed File Transfer. Managed File Transfer Central is displayed in the Content view.
  2. All of our coordination queue managers are displayed in the Navigator view. Expand the name of the coordination queue manager that we have used for the scheduled transfer. To change which coordination queue manager we are connected to, right-click the name of the coordination queue manager we want to use in Navigator view and click Connect.
  3. Start the Create New Template for Managed File Transfer wizard by right-clicking Transfer Templates and then clicking New Template.
  4. Follow the instructions on the wizard panels. There is context-sensitive help provided for each panel. To access the context-sensitive help on Windows, press F1. On Linux, press Ctrl+F1 or Shift+F1.

    If we have created a template that contains all the required transfer details, ensure that you select the Save transfer settings as a template check box on the Transfer Summary page if this check box is not already selected. Also enter a name for the template in the Name field. If you create a template that does not yet contain all of the required transfer details, the Save transfer settings as a template check box is automatically checked for you.
