Starting a WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition agent
Before you can use a WebSphere® MQ File Transfer Edition agent for a file transfer, you must first start the agent.
About this task
To start an agent from the command line, see fteStartAgent command.
In Version 7.0.3 or later, you can start a WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition agent as a Windows service. This configuration ensures that your agent continues running when you log off your Windows session. For more information, see Starting an agent as a Windows service.
Note that, from Version 7.0.4.5, if an agent encounters an unrecoverable error when it is running, a first failure data capture (FDC) is generated and the agent is stopped.
