Anyone know where I can find a free generic Q2F and F2Q tools?
The Q2F should be configurable to PUT the message data into any folder with any given file type.
F2Q should be able to run as a service and be configurable to poll more than one folder & and file type. |

What you are looking for they call an Adapter 
Don't think there is a free one out there. At least as far as I know.
So either write your own one or buy one. Try the Software Repository (www.google.com) |

That's what I was afraid of... You'd think something so 'simple' would be widely available by now.
Thanks!

If you're using WBI or ICS, there's an adapter called JText adapter which you can integrate into your broker environemnt; You can use it with your own code as well, but I don't know if I recommend it, it's an OK adapter and i'm quite sure there are better out there...
(In case it wasn't clear, it aint free unless you have either an WBI or ICS license) |

WebSphere PM4Data is not free but similar in pricing as an MQ license and doesn't require a broker...

The simplicity of Q2F and F2Q is False Simplicity.
It's very easy to read a file and write it into a message and read a message and write it into a file. It's so easy, that there is no basic implementation of it out there - except for things like the Q program support pack.
But the infrastructure required to do Q2F and F2Q right, for your particular organization, is significantly larger than it seems at first. And the logic that needs to go into the program - do I delete the file after it's read? Do I need to roll it back if the transaction to the queue fails? Do I need to make a record of every time I move a file? Does that record need to be visible to other people? Is this a static, one time, simple transfer? Or is it an ongoing transfer? Does it need to be scheduled? Or started by a person? Or started by another program? Do I need to control who can or can't start the transfer?
As ashoon says, PM4Data is an excellent solution for this problem space. But it's not free.
