System queues and the system topic

WebSphere® MQ File Transfer Edition has a number of system queues and one system topic that are for internal use only. Do not delete these objects or change them in any way.

Any queues with a name beginning SYSTEM.FTE are internal system queues for WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition. The topic named SYSTEM.FTE is also for internal use only. Do not modify or delete this topic or these queues, or change the queue contents in any way, because you will prevent WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition from functioning correctly and you could lose messages.

Temporary queues

WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition creates temporary queues for a number of purposes. The name of each queue starts with WMQFTE. by default. (The period is part of the default prefix.) If you want to change this prefix, you can use the dynamicQueuePrefix property in the command.properties file or the coordination.properties file or both. The property in the command.properties file is used to set the prefix of temporary queues that are created for responses to commands that require a response from the agent. The property in the coordination.properties file is used to set the prefix of temporary queues that are created for other purposes; for example, the WMQFTE.FTE.TIMECHCK.QUEUE, where WMQFTE. is the value defined by the dynamicQueuePrefix property.
