File status

 

When a File Transfer Application receiver receives files, they can be listed using the File Transfer Application GUI, or by using either of the receive file control commands. For information on the receive file control commands see mqftrcv (receive file on server), and mqftrcvc (receive file on client). Information about files in the source queue are returned as one of the following:

Complete file

When a file is too large to be transferred as a single WebSphere MQ message, the file is segmented into a number of smaller messages, known as segments. These segments are then transmitted.

A complete file is a file where every message that forms the file has been transferred to the destination queue.

Incomplete file

An incomplete file, is a file where a subset of the messages that form the file have been transferred to the queue. If you are using the File Transfer Application GUI, by clicking Receive again, you will see the file's percentage complete figure increase.

Other message

Other messages, are messages that have not been sent using the File Transfer Application. They are not related to a file.

If a dead letter queue has been associated with the queue manager and a receive file command is issued, then other messages are put on the dead letter queue. If a dead letter queue has not been associated with the queue manager, then other messages are left on the queue.
