| Is there any possibility that files being transfered from point A to point B fail due to the transformation done by the broker server?. Usually do the error point to the broker server that does the transformation or to the receiving point which is point B?. |

Hi , if you say transformation during the filetrasfer, that means some Logic will be applied. if the transaction failed druing that trasnformation, then u need to check the errors, which will Point the error queue. the Basic check as you can check the input data. also check MQ broker error queues. if you have visiblty on the what logic appliced in Broker level, like the fileds / data fileds Must and Optionals, this will help u to fix the issue ASAP

If you use multihopping make sure that your channels are free from any CCSID translation exits...
Enjoy

| Is the chances for a file transfer to fail during the transformation at a minimum level?. Usually do file transfer fail at the receiving point that is after the file has been transformed?. |

There is only one type of transformation incorporated to standard file transfer.
It is the translation of character set Id from sender to receiver platform.
This is automatic and controlled by the sender/getter.
See FTP attribute TYPE.
Be sure to set it to BIN (binary) and not ASCII(text) when you do not want any transformation to happen.
Enjoy

So basically it's just the encoding scheme which we use, Binary or ASCII. Binary uses 8 bits where else ASCII user only 7 bits. So when do we use Binary or ASCII encoding scheme for file transfer?. Do we use ASCII encoding scheme when the source file is a text file, application file, XML file and web pages?. When do we use Binary?. |

You use ASCII when the content is text (unformatted i.e. no word files etc...) (Note: here XML qualifies as either text or binary depending on whether the encoding is specified in the XML header... etc...)
It is not about 7 or 8 bits but more about translation from ASCII to EBCDIC and changes about CRLF from Unix to Windows etc...
You use BIN (binary) for all other contents
