Example: Modifying file space configuration
You can modify an existing file space by submitting an HTTP request to the WebSphere® MQ File Transfer Edition Web Gateway. You can change the file space quota and the list of users who can access the file space if you have the necessary security role associated with your user account.
About this task
The WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition roles wmqfte-admin and wmqfte-filespace-modify can change both the file space quota and the list of users who can access the file space. For more information about securing the Web Gateway, see User roles for the Web Gateway.
If you have the security role wmqfte-admin, you can also modify a file space by using the administrative console. For more information, see Web Gateway administrative console.
If you change a file space quota while file transfers to the file space are in progress, the transfers might succeed even if they cause the new quota value to be exceeded. Any file transfers that are started after the quota has been changed are successful only if they do not cause the new quota value to be exceeded.
The following examples show how to change the quota of the file space, add users to the list of people authorized to access the file space, and remove users from the list of people who are not authorized to access the file space. In this example, the server hosting the Web Gateway is example.com. The name of the file space, which has already been created, is finlay. The name of the file space is denoted by the final part of the URI used by the POST request.
