WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition products deliver a managed file transfer solution for moving files with auditability, visibility, and reliability. These products leverage WebSphere MQ messaging as its reliable transport mechanism for moving files and enables files to be moved regardless of size. An audit log of file movements enables organizations to demonstrate that business data in files is transferred with integrity from source to target file system. Graphical configuration tooling, supplied with the product on distributed platforms and integrated with WebSphere MQ Explorer, enables quick and easy definition of transfers remotely from Microsoft® Windows® or Linux® on x86 machines without the need for programming. On distributed platforms, WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition includes a copy of WebSphere MQ, the license of which is limited for use on the same machine as the product. It entitles the client to use its full WebSphere MQ messaging functionality. Trade-up licenses are available for existing clients who want to upgrade machines running WebSphere MQ to WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition. Clients who upgrade can continue to use the full messaging capabilities of the limited license copy of WebSphere MQ that is supplied with WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition. Machines running WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition provide a multipurpose connectivity solution for files and messages. WebSphere MQ for z/OS is a prerequisite for WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition for z/OS. A separate license of WebSphere MQ for z/OS is required for this product on the System z platform. Organizations that run separate mechanisms for file and message traffic can consolidate on a single, reliable transport capable of handling both file and message traffic. Using a single reliable backbone can help achieve these operational efficiencies by reducing the need to deploy and manage separate parallel networks for messages and files. Back to top

WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition delivers a managed file transfer solution for moving files regardless of their size. It adds file transfer services to the WebSphere MQ backbone to enable movement of files in a managed way with auditability, visibility, and reliability. WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition delivers a service oriented architecture (SOA)-ready managed file transfer solution that can replace "home-grown" and FTP-based approaches to file movement. The enhancements in WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition V7.0.2 are compatible with WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition V7.0.1. What's new
In addition, new IBM SupportPacs extend the capabilities of WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition. SupportPac™ FA01 can help govern the Agent infrastructure of WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition. It provides a plug-in to the IBM SOA Repository, WebSphere Service Registry & Repository. Using this plug-in, information about file transfer agents and queue manager connections can be retrieved from WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition and SOA assets generated to represent these in WebSphere Service Registry & Repository. This can enable administrators to analyse the relationships between agents and the underlying MQ network, and determine the impact to agents of any changes made to the WebSphere MQ configuration. In addition, it enables SOA governance policies to be applied to managed file transfer agents. The graphical tooling Eclipse plug-ins supplied for the WebSphere MQ Explorer can be installed into the separately downloadable WebSphere MQ Explorer package that is available as SupportPac MS0T. For details about SupportPacs for WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition, visit Accessibility by people with disabilitiesYou can request a U.S. Section 508 Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) containing details on accessibility compliance at Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation ActIBM WebSphere MQ Managed File Transfer Edition V7.0.2 products are capable, as of December 4, 2009, when used in accordance with IBM's associated documentation, of satisfying the applicable requirements of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, provided that any assistive technology used with the product properly interoperates with it. You can request a U.S. Section 508 Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) from Value Unit-based pricingValue Unit pricing for eligible IBM System z IBM International Program License Agreement (IPLA) programs enables a lower cost of incremental growth and enterprise aggregation. Each System z IPLA product with Value Unit pricing has a single price per Value Unit and a conversion matrix, called Value Unit Exhibit, for converting from some designated measurement to Value Units. Most commonly, Millions of Service Units (MSUs) is the measurement designated by IBM to be converted to Value Units. Some other measurements are engines or messages. Since MSUs are the most common measurement, that measurement will be used for the remainder of this description. Value Unit pricing offers price benefits for you. For each System z IPLA program with Value Unit pricing, the quantity of that program needed to satisfy applicable IBM terms and conditions is referred to as the required license capacity. Each of the various Value Unit Exhibits stipulate that the larger your required license capacity, the fewer Value Units per MSU you will need. Value Unit Exhibits are uniquely identified by a three digit code and referred to using the nomenclature VUExxx, where xxx is the three digit code. Subsequent acquisitions of Value Unit priced programs offer additional price benefits. The quantity of each System z IPLA program that you have acquired is referred to as entitled license capacity. If you wish to grow your entitled license capacity for a System z IPLA program, the calculation to determine additional needed Value Units is based upon the number of Value Units already acquired. For each System z IPLA program with Value Unit pricing, you should:
To simplify conversion from the designated measurement to Value Units or vice-versa, use the Value Unit Converter Tool. For additional information or to obtain a copy of the Value Unit Converter Tool, visit the Value Unit Converter Tool Web site Note that Value Units of a given product cannot be exchanged, interchanged, or aggregated with Value Units of another product. To determine the required license capacity for the System z IPLA program you selected, refer to the Terms and conditions section. Back to top

Processor Value Unit (PVU) PVU is a unit of measure by which this distributed software product can be licensed. PVU entitlements are based on processor technology (defined within the PVU table* by processor vendor, brand, type and model number). IBM continues to define a processor, for purposes of PVU-based licensing, to be each processor core on a chip. Each software product has a unique price per PVU. To determine the total cost of deploying an individual software product in a specific hardware environment, you must take the following steps:
PVU entitlements are specific to a software product and may not be exchanged, interchanged, or aggregated with PVU entitlements of another software product. Unless you have deployed eligible sub-capacity products according to the sub-capacity1 terms, you must obtain PVU Proof of Entitlements (PoEs) for the maximum number of activated 2 physical processor cores in the hardware environment made available to, or managed by, the software product. This is also referred to as full capacity licensing.
Client Device Client Device is the unit of measure by which this program is licensed. A Client Device is a computing device that requests the execution of a set of commands, procedures, or applications from another computer system that is typically referred to as a server. Multiple Client Devices may share access to a common server. A Client Device generally has some processing capability or is programmable to allow a user to do work. A Proof of Entitlement (PoE) must be obtained for each Client Device accessing the program in any manner on each and every single computer or server where the program is installed. Examples include, but are not limited to appliances, automated teller machines, cash registers, desktop computers, kiosks, notebook computers, personal digital assistant, point-of-sale terminals, and technical workstations. WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition V7.0.2 (5724-R10) in this announcement has Value Unit-based pricing. The z/OS program in this announcement has Value Unit-based pricing.

An environment is defined as either a single or stand-alone machine or a qualified Parallel Sysplex®. You may have one or more different environments across the enterprise. To determine the required license capacity for each System z IPLA program with referenced-based terms, each environment should be assessed separately. When a System z IPLA sub-capacity program with reference-based terms is used in a qualified Parallel Sysplex environment, the required license capacity of theSystem z IPLA program must equal with the license capacity of the parent program across the Parallel Sysplex. Qualified Parallel Sysplex refers to one:
Sub-capacity eligibilityTo be eligible for sub-capacity charging on select System z IPLA programs, you must first implement and comply with all terms of either sub-capacity Workload License Charges (WLC) or sub-capacity Entry Workload License Charges (EWLC).
