Starting a new file transfer
You can start a new file transfer from the IBM® WebSphere® MQ Explorer or from the command line and you can choose to transfer either a single file or multiple files in a group.
About this task
You can also start a file transfer by putting
a file transfer message on the command queue of the source agent.
An example command queue name is SYSTEM.FTE.COMMAND.AGENT01
.
You must ensure that the message reaches the command queue of the
correct source agent; if the message is received by an agent that
does not match the source information in the XML, the message is
rejected.
The transfer request XML must conform to the FileTransfer.xsd schema and use the <request> element as the root element. See File transfer request message format for information about the structure and content of a transfer request message. How you put the transfer request message on an agent command queue is task-specific. For example, you can use the IBM WebSphere MQ Java API to put a message on the queue programmatically.
To start a new file transfer from the command line, see fteCreateTransfer command.
