Configure the coordination queue manager

How you configure the Coordination queue manager to coordinate file transfers.

Before starting

Ensure that we have full connectivity between the queue managers you set up for this scenario.

This task sets up the coordination queue manager MFT5, and the instructions in this section assume that we are working with one IBM MQ installation.

If we have multiple installations, we must set the IBM MQ path to the version of IBM MQ required, by using the setmqenv command, before you start any of the configuration tasks.

Procedure

1. Log in as the Managed File Transfer administrator.
2. Issue the following command to identify the coordination queue manager and set up the configuration directory structure:

   fteSetupCoordination -coordinationQMgr MFT5 

   Coordination queue manager directory

   C:\data\mqft\config\MFT5

   coordination.properties file

   C:\data\mqft\config\MFT5\coordination.properties

   The command also produces an MQSC command file that we must run against your coordination queue manager C:\data\mqft\config\MFT5\MFT5.mqsc:

3. Change to the C:\data\mqft\config\MFT5 directory.
4. Configure the queue manager, to act as the coordination queue manager, by running the following command. We need to provide the MQSC command file, produced by the command we issued in Step 2:

   runmqsc MFT5 < MFT5.mqsc > mft5.txt

5. Open the mft5.txt results file with your preferred editor. and ensure that the definitions have been created successfully.
