I have a requirement wherein i need to transfer some files from the Unix systems to IBM Mainframe system using MQSeries (Websphere MQ) as the middleware.

Can any one suggest me what will be the procedure/process for this , or if any one has worked on such a requirement please help me with the docs/source code.

Thanks and Regards.,
Jagadish

If MQ is established on both platforms, it should be a simple administrative task to connect and transfer.

If the MQ Infrastructure is established between Unix Box and Mainframe then you just need to develop MQ utility programs to do file transfer.

Also it depends whether its a batch or online processing.

In Mainframe Batch its simple just write 2 COBOL programs, one to put message and another to receive message.

In Mainframe Online you can setup trigger, so as soon a message arrives it can initiate the transaction and do the necessary processing.
