| Is it possible to use flat file adapter to interact with Mainframe?. Websphere need to integrate with legacy system so we are planning to use flatfile adapter. Please let us know. |

Ratan,
This client is only looking for flat file adapter and ftp adapter. We do not have MQ adapter. |

As long as you can get the file into the format that the legacy system needs using the flat file adapter, I dont see any reason why you cant use it. I never used flat file adapter, so my knowledge is limited.
You might have to write a custom data handler.

Hi;
My experience with Flat File adapter are little shaky, as what you get from flat file adapter is a binary array of the whole file. Then you have to parse the binary array and construct a BO out of it.
If your Mainframe application can access the JMS messaging, its good to write a small layer of code to integrate with WPS. Otherwise look for web services
BTW Flat File adapter can not poll a remote serve using ftp protocol (this was supported in JText Adapter).
