Example: Transferring a group of messages from a queue to a single file
You can specify a single complete group on a WebSphere® MQ queue as the source of a file transfer by using the -sq and -sqgi parameters with the fteCreateTransfer command.
About this task
In this example, there are ten messages on the queue START_QUEUE. This queue must be on the source agent's queue manager, QM_NEPTUNE. The first three messages belong to a group with the WebSphere MQ group ID 41424b3ef3a2202020202020202020202020202020201111; this group is not a complete group. The next five messages belong to a group with the WebSphere MQ group ID 41424b3ef3a2202020202020202020202020202020202222; this group is complete. The remaining two messages belong to a group with the WebSphere MQ group ID 41424b3ef3a2202020202020202020202020202020203333; this group is complete.
