Configuring WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition on Windows, UNIX, and Linux systems after you have installed

To start using WebSphere® MQ File Transfer Edition after you have installed it, you must complete some configuration for your coordination queue manager and agent.

About this task

After you have installed, you must run the configuration scripts provided by WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition for new coordination queue managers and new agents before you can use the coordination queue managers and agents to transfer files. You must then start the agents you have created.

Procedure

  1. For all new coordination queue managers: run the MQSC commands in the coordination_qmgr_name.mqsc file. This file is located in the following directory: config_directory/coordination_qmgr_name/coordination_qmgr_name.mqsc
    To run this command, change to the directory the MQSC script file is in and issue a command like:
    runmqsc COORDINATION_QMGR_NAME < COORDINATION_QMGR_NAME.mqsc 

    You can configure the coordination queue manager manually instead. For more information, see Configuring the coordination queue manager.

  2. For all new agents: run the MQSC commands in the agent_name_create.mqsc file against the agent queue manager. This file is located in the following directory: config_directory/coordination_qmgr_name/agents/agent_name/agent_name_create.mqsc.
    To run this command, change to the directory the MQSC script file is in and issue a command like:
    runmqsc AGENT_QMGR_NAME < AGENT1_create.mqsc 
    If the agent queue manager is not on the same computer as the agent, copy the MQSC script file to the computer where the queue manager is located and then run the script.

    You can configure the agent queue manager manually instead. For more information, see Configuring agent queue managers.

  3. Start your new agents by issuing the fteStartAgent command.

What to do next

To ensure that your coordination queue manager can communicate with other WebSphere MQ queue managers in your network, follow the instructions at: Configuring WebSphere MQ queue managers

You are recommended to set up sandboxes to limit the areas of the file system that an agent can access. This feature is described in Working with sandboxes.

For information about how to run MQSC commands from files on distributed platforms, see Running MQSC commands from text files.
