The install.properties file

The install.properties file specifies the path to your WebSphere® MQ File Transfer Edition configuration directory. This data directory contains configuration files and log files. If you administer WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition from the WebSphere MQ Explorer, WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition uses the information in the install.properties file to set the path to your configuration directory.

The install.properties file is located in your WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition installation directory. By default, the file is located in the following directory:
  • On Windows, C:\Program Files\IBM\WMQFTE\
  • On UNIX, /opt/IBM/WMQFTE/
  • On Linux, /opt/ibm/WMQFTE/

z/OS® systems have the FTE_CONFIG environment variable instead of the install.properties file.

The install.properties file contains the following values:
Table 1. Basic properties
Property name Description Default value
dataDirectory The name of the directory containing configuration information for WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition. The configuration directory you specified when you installed the product.
The following text is an example of the contents of a install.properties file.
dataDirectory=/var/ibm/WMQFTE/config
The directory /var/ibm/WMQFTE/config is the name of your configuration directory. This directory contains directories and properties files that describe one or many sets of configuration options.
