Configuring a basic WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition scenario on IBM i systems
WebSphere® MQ File Transfer Edition supports the transfer of files that are located on an IBM® i platform. You can set up a basic client/server environment to support file transfer operations between IBM i systems using the steps in this example.
Before you begin
To set up this environment, complete the following steps with a user profile that has *SECOFR authority and a /home/user profile directory on each system.
About this task

In this setup, there are two IBM i systems: one called HAMPSHIRE that has WebSphere MQ installed, and another system called MINNESOTA that has a client connection to HAMPSHIRE.
The server system, HAMPSHIRE, hosts coordination, command, and agent queue manager functions using the local queue manager QM.HAMPSHIRE. HAMPSHIRE runs the agent HURSLEY that connects using bindings mode to QM.HAMPSHIRE.
The client system, MINNESOTA, hosts the agent ROCHESTER. Agent ROCHESTER connects across the Internet Protocol network to its remote queue manager, QM.HAMPSHIRE, on HAMPSHIRE. Because there is only one queue manager, QM.HAMPSHIRE also serves as the coordination, command, and agent queue manager for the agent ROCHESTER.
