Message formats for messages we can put on the MFT Agent command queue
The following XML schemas define the formats for messages
that can be put on the agent command queue to request that the agent
perform an action. The XML message can be placed on the agent command
queue by using the command-line commands or by an application.
File transfer request message format
File transfers are initiated by XML messages arriving at an agent command queue, typically as a result of a user issuing a file transfer command or by using the IBM MQ Explorer. The transfer request XML must conform to the FileTransfer.xsd schema and have the <request> element as the root element. The FileTransfer.xsd schema document is located in the MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH/mqft/samples/schema directory. The FileTransfer.xsd schema imports fteutils.xsd, which is in the same directory.
MFT monitor request message formats
Resource monitors are created when a suitable XML message arrives at an agent's command queue, typically as a result of a user issuing the fteCreateMonitor command or using the IBM MQ Explorer interface.
Ping MFT agent request message format
We can ping an agent by issuing an ftePingAgent command or by putting an XML message on the agent command queue. The ping agent request XML must conform to the PingAgent.xsd schema. After we have installed Managed File Transfer, we can find the PingAgent.xsd schema file in the following directory: MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH/mqft/samples/schema. The PingAgent.xsd schema imports fteutils.xsd, which is in the same directory.
MFT agent reply message format
When an agent receives an XML message on its agent command queue, if a response is required, the agent will send an XML reply message to the reply queue defined in the original message. The reply XML conforms to the Reply.xsd schema. The Reply.xsd schema document is located in the MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH/mqft/samples/schema directory. The Reply.xsd schema imports fteutils.xsd, which is in the same directory.
