Hi,
We have WMB 6105 running on windows. We will in a future projekt recieve data from MQ and need to deliver data to unix disk. I know it is possible to do it with FileOutPut node using the FTP option. Is possible to write "more directly" to a unix disk from win WMB without using FTP?
Thanx

Yes, FTP is just one option for FileOutput. You can write to locally accessible filesystems (or drives in windows terms).
However I would caution against setting up NFS mounts and writing to them as it represents a form of tight coupling to the broker that is best avoided (in my view) in favour of using SFTP.
This is especially true over diverse platforms. |

Thanks for your reply. I will use your point about tight coupling when we design the solution

Broker v7 has MQFTE nodes... you could use MQ FileTransfer edition instead of FTP....

Also, you may think about writing a simple MQ program that would run on the Unix side if you have an MQ QMGR there. Depending on the data, you may not need to write any code, as you could use amsmqget sample and pipe the output to a disk file using some creative scripting techniques. Otherwise a simple 30 lines of code would do the trick.

Always remembering that the AMQSGET sample had a hard coded buffer length of 100 bytes
AND
There is a 'C' Compiler available for the Unix system.
AND
the PHB's will let a homegrown executable anywhere near their precious production platform..

Every time you reinvent the wheel the more square it gets (anon). If in doubt think and investigate before you ask silly questions. |

The support pac MA01 would be much better (the Q program). |
