Use Connect:Direct processes to submit Managed File Transfer transfer requests

We can submit a transfer request to the Connect:Direct® bridge agent from a Connect:Direct process. Managed File Transfer provides commands that can be called from a RUN TASK statement in a Connect:Direct process.

Managed File Transfer provides the following commands for use with Connect:Direct processes:

    ftetag
    Specify this command in a step that precedes the ftebxfer or ftecxfer command to create the required audit information for the transfer. This command takes the source specification of the transfer as a parameter. For information about the format of source specification, see fteCreateTransfer: start a new file transfer.

    ftebxfer
    Specify this command to create a file transfer request when the queue manager that the transfer request is submitted to is located on the same system as the Connect:Direct node that submits the command. This command takes the same parameters as the fteCreateTransfer command. For information about these parameters, see fteCreateTransfer: start a new file transfer. This command also has an additional parameter:

      -qmgrname
      Required. The name of the queue manager to submit the command to.

    ftecxfer
    Specify this command to create a file transfer request when the queue manager that the transfer request is submitted to is located on a different system to the Connect:Direct node that submits the command. This command takes the same parameters as the fteCreateTransfer command. For information about the parameters, see fteCreateTransfer: start a new file transfer. This command also has three additional parameters:

      -qmgrname
      Required. The name of the queue manager to submit the command to.
      -connname
      Required. The host and port of the queue manager to submit the command to, specified in IBM MQ CONNAME format. For example, host.example.com(1337).
      -channelname
      Optional. The name of the channel to use to connect to the queue manager to submit the command to. If this is not specified, a default of SYSTEM.DEF.SVRCONN is used.
