/admin/mft/transfer

We can use the HTTP GET method with the transfer resource, to request information about transfers, and other status details, and the HTTP POST method with the transfer resource, to put a transfer request message in the command queue manager, which will be routed to the source agent queue manager.


Overview of the HTTP GET method

As a user we can obtain the transfer details of file transfers that have been initiated.

We can retrieve the transfer details of all the transfers that are initiated using the coordination queue manager defined in the mqwebuser.xml and a list of all the transfers initiated by yourself. For example, if you initiated 100 transfers and want to know the status of those transfers, the GET method serves the purpose.

See GET for more information.


Overview of the HTTP POST method

As an administrator, create a file transfer as necessary for a particular task, or to schedule a new file transfer. This API facilitates in creating the transfer, and also allows you to request a scheduled file transfer.

We can perform a scheduled file transfer once or repeat the transfer multiple times. We can :

  • Schedule a file transfer to occur once, or to occur at regular intervals, for example, every minute.
  • Specify the occurrences to stop at a defined time and date, or after a defined number of occurrences.
  • Specify that the occurrences continue forever.

See POST for more information.

  • POST
    Use the HTTP POST method with the transfer resource to create a transfer.
  • GET
    Use the HTTP GET method with the transfer resource to request information about transfers and transfer status. We can query only the transfers that are initiated after the mqweb server is started.
