Hi,

Can we transfer a file using MQ? If so can tell me how to do that?

Thanks,
Kranthi

Hello,

Well, you can write things into MQ and you can read them back. . . Not really what i'd call transferrnig a file. . .

If you better explain what data you have and where you want to send it, someone may have a suggestion.

A program on one server reads a file and PUTs the records to a QUEUE on a remote server. A program on the remote server GETs the records from the queue and recreates a file. The details of the transmission are handled by the MQ QueueManager.

For details, read the MQ Application Programming guide.

When I was working doing EDI and Data Transmissions, IBM would keep coming in and touting to our CIO that MQ could replace all of our existing DT products (Connect:Direct and Connect:Enterprise). Every year we'd have to justify the continued usage of those products against MQ. The CIO kept failing to understand that none of our Trading Partners used MQ, and in fact Connect:Direct had been the de-facto standard for many years.
