Configuring the GUI

For every WebSphere MQ server or client system on which you intend to run the File Transfer Application GUI, you must perform some initial configuration tasks on the GUI. Before you can configure the File Transfer Application GUI, you must have setup up your system, see Setup tasks.

For information on what the File Transfer Application GUI provides, see Components.

To configure the File Transfer Application GUI, do the following:

  1. Start the File Transfer Application.

    The first time you start File Transfer Application, a message prompts you to complete the initial setup.

  2. Click OK. The Queue Manager panel is displayed.
  3. In the Name field, type the name of the queue manager to which the File Transfer Application is connecting.
    Note:
    Ensure the queue manager is running.
  4. Select either the Local or Remote radio button.

    If connecting to a local queue manager, click the Local radio button.

    If connecting to a remote queue manager, click the Remote radio button.

  5. Click OK. The File Transfer panel is displayed, showing a list of queues.
  6. Check the tick box next to every queue that is to be used as a destination queue.
  7. Select the Sources tab.
  8. Check the tick box next to every queue that is to be used as a source queue.
  9. Click OK.

The File Transfer Application GUI is now configured.
