Preparing to deploy the Web Gateway

Before deploying the IBM® MQ Managed File Transfer Web Gateway, you must set up your application server environment and dependent modules. This section describes the setup tasks for IBM MQ and two different application servers.

Before you begin

Before configuring or using the Web Gateway, refer to Scenarios for the Web Gateway and How the Web Gateway fits into your IBM MQ Managed File Transfer topology. These topics explain the purpose and components of the Web Gateway.

Before you deploy the Web Gateway application, you must complete the required security steps. For more information, see Required security for the Web Gateway.

To complete your Web Gateway topology, you also need a web agent and a database logger. For more information, see fteCreateWebAgent (create an IBM MQ Managed File Transfer web agent) and Configuring an Managed File Transfer logger.
