We have just migrated to Message Broker 5.0 and are wondering what the best choices are for file adapters to process inbound files from applications and external systems.
We have been using EAI tools in the past that had very easy built-in file adapters but are unsure of the best way to proceed with Message Broker.
The JText adapter seems like too much infrastructure and configuration just to process files.
Any best practices would be greatly appreciated. |

In my somewhat lengthy experience with adapting files to queues, it requires a lot more infrastructure and configuration than it seems to at first glance.
That said, you might look at something like CommerceQuest's ProcessManager For Data (PM4Data). It has the necessary good bit of infrastructure and configuration, but it is separated from the broker. And my opinion is that it's a better design that way.

that highly depends on your requirements. We have done this by writing a Java plugin to read and write local and remote (FTP and FTPs) files. There are a number of other good tools and products available to bridge between files and messages - but - as already stated by Jeff - some business requirements require special considerations.

I second the PM4Data suggestion.
PM4Data sits on the file server and converts that file into MQ messages and vice-versa (if needed) Those MQ messages can be handled quite easily by a flow vs. building that logic yourself. Also since you're using MQ as the transport you get all the security enhancements. Finally PM4Data also has auditing capabilities if compliancy is a concern.
Message me if you have further questions... |

They have written a complete file to message, file to file and message to file extensions for the WMQI and WBIMB brokers.
There is more to this than meets the eye - think about how to handle transactionality with files - not easy to do it properly.
