I have a simple message flow that I use to select data from a DB and then have to put the data out in a fixed file format. My question is this:
Can WMQI output a file in a certain format, like comma-delimited, or fixed-file format?
...
Surely WMQI can handle files from INPUT, it should be possible to OUPUT any type of file.
MQSI can certainly build a message in the format you desire. However the core message transmission layer under MQSI is MQSeries. So MQSI wants to take message from a queue and put them to a queue.
I'd probably look at the following options.
1) Build you own MQSeries connector application that takes messages from files and puts them to your filesystem - this also gives you the flexibility to insert additional functionality etc!
2) Use the available MQSeries to file utilities e.g. MA01 support pack - also search this site for other references - I'm sure a number of other contributers have their own sites with the types of utilites!
