You can transfer a file from a WebSphere® MQ Managed File Transfer agent to a Connect:Direct® node using the Connect:Direct bridge. Specify a Connect:Direct node as the destination
of the transfer by specifying the Connect:Direct bridge agent as
the destination agent and specifying the destination file in the form connect_direct_node_name:file_path.
Before you begin
Before transferring a file, you must configure the Connect:Direct bridge, which
is a component of WebSphere MQ Managed File Transfer.
For more information, see Configuring the Connect:Direct bridge.
About this task
In this example, the Connect:Direct bridge agent is
called CD_BRIDGE. The source agent is called FTE_AGENT and can be
any version of WMQFTE. The destination Connect:Direct node is called
CD_NODE1. The file to be transferred is located at the file path /home/helen/file.log on
the system where FTE_AGENT is located. The file is transferred to
the file path /files/data.log on the system where
CD_NODE1 is running.
Procedure
- Use the fteCreateTransfer command with the value for the -df (destination
file) parameter in the form connect_direct_node_name:file_path and
the value of the -da (destination agent) parameter
specified as the name of the Connect:Direct bridge agent.
Note: The Connect:Direct node
specified by connect_direct_node_name is
the node that you want the file to be transferred to, not the Connect:Direct node that operates
as part of the Connect:Direct bridge.
fteCreateTransfer -sa FTE_AGENT -da CD_BRIDGE
-df CD_NODE1:/files/data.log /home/helen/file.log
For
more information, see
fteCreateTransfer (create new file transfer).
- The source agent FTE_AGENT transfers the file to the Connect:Direct bridge agent CD_BRIDGE.
The file is temporarily stored on the system where the Connect:Direct bridge agent is
running, in the location defined by the cdTmpDir agent property. The Connect:Direct bridge agent transfers
the file to the Connect:Direct node
CD_NODE1.
