The requirement is:

Mainframe application generates a well formatted batch file and places on to the NFS (network file system). WMB message flow should take it everyday at a specific time and process it.

I imported the ia0x fixpac, but to make it work, I think someother client need to initiate the flow.
I also see that IBM provides WMB File Extender. I read the article on how to use it and it is:
"The File Input node lets you initiate message flow activity by placing an input file in a directory local to the run-time broker."

BUT the file that the mainframe application generates is placing in NFS and not in a directory local to broker runtime.

How can I achieve it??. Any idea?

It really means "accessible as a local file system".

That means that if you have an NFS Mount that is available on BOTH the mainframe AND the broker machine, then it's mostly okay.

THe FTP Server node would let the mainframe FTP a file directly into the broker.

The mainframe would have to have code written to perform the FTP transfer.

You'd be better off, likely, putting a real FTP server somewhere that could write to broker's file system, and use the File Extender.
