To start using WebSphere® MQ
File Transfer Edition after
you have installed it, you must complete some configuration for your
coordination queue manager and agent.
About this task
After you have installed, you must run the configuration
scripts provided by
WebSphere MQ
File Transfer Edition for
new coordination queue managers and new agents before you can use
the coordination queue managers and agents to transfer files. You
must then start the agents you have created.
Procedure
- For all new coordination queue managers: run the MQSC commands
in the coordination_qmgr_name.mqsc file.
This file is located in the following directory: config_directory/coordination_qmgr_name/coordination_qmgr_name.mqsc
To run this command, change to the directory the MQSC script
file is in and issue a command like:
runmqsc COORDINATION_QMGR_NAME < COORDINATION_QMGR_NAME.mqsc
You
can configure the coordination queue manager manually instead. For
more information, see Configuring the coordination queue manager.
- For all new agents: run the MQSC commands in the agent_name_create.mqsc file
against the agent queue manager. This file is located in the following
directory: config_directory/coordination_qmgr_name/agents/agent_name/agent_name_create.mqsc.
To run this command, change to the directory
the MQSC script file is in and issue a command like:
runmqsc AGENT_QMGR_NAME < AGENT1_create.mqsc
If
the agent queue manager is not on the same computer as the agent,
copy the MQSC script file to the computer where the queue manager
is located and then run the script.
You can configure the agent
queue manager manually instead. For more information, see Configuring agent queue managers.
- Start your new agents by issuing the fteStartAgent command.
What to do next
To ensure that your coordination queue
manager can communicate with other WebSphere MQ
queue managers in your network, follow the instructions at: Configuring WebSphere MQ
queue managers
You are recommended
to set up sandboxes to limit the areas of the file system that an
agent can access. This feature is described in Working
with sandboxes.

MQSC commands from files on distributed platforms, see Running MQSC commands from text files.
