Example: Setting IBM MQ message properties on a file-to-message transfer
We can use the -qmp parameter on the fteCreateTransfer command to specify whether IBM MQ message properties are set on the first message written to the destination queue by the transfer. IBM MQ message properties allow an application to select messages to process, or to retrieve information about a message without accessing IBM MQ Message Descriptor (MQMD) or MQRFH2 headers.
Include the parameter -qmp true in the fteCreateTransfer command. In this example, the MQMD user ID of the user submitting the command is larmer.
Procedure
Type the following command:fteCreateTransfer -sa AGENT_JUPITER -da AGENT_SATURN -dq MY_QUEUE@MyQM -qmp true
-t text /tmp/source_file.txt
The
IBM MQ message properties of the first message written
by the destination agent, AGENT_SATURN, to the queue, MY_QUEUE, on
queue manager, MyQM, are set to these
values:
usr.WMQFTETransferId=414cbaedefa234889d999a8ed09782395ea213ebbc9377cd usr.WMQFTETransferMode=text usr.WMQFTESourceAgent=AGENT_JUPITER usr.WMQFTEDestinationAgent=AGENT_SATURN usr.WMQFTEFileName=source_file.txt usr.WMQFTEFileSize=1024 usr.WMQFTEFileLastModified=1273740879040 usr.WMQFTEFileIndex=0 usr.WMQFTEMqmdUser=larmerParent topic: Transfer data from files to messages
