Hi,
I was wondering the following: I want to move messages from server A to server B. Server A has MQ Client installed and server B has MQ server (Queue managers, Queues) installed.

The use scenarios at client side are as follows:
1. Use mqftsndc which comes when installing MQ Client. So this would be a simply script where you use that mqftsndc (bat/sh).
2. Use qc which comes with IBM MA01 SupportPac. This would be also a simply script where you use that qc (bat/sh).
3. Create an application (Java/C/...) that uses MQI to do the necessary things to put a file to specified queue.

I have done all the above and I know that scenario 3 is the most flexible, but...

* Are there any restrictions (for example file size) when using those scenarios (particularly scenarios 1 and 2)?
* Are scenarios 1 and 2 NOT recommended procedure when thinking about production environment?
* Is there a way to define for example format of the message (MQSTR etc.) in scenarios 1 and 2? In scenario 3 it is possible if you do that in your code.
* Any other must-to-know/nice-to-know of these scenarios? Or do you have better solutions?

Thanks!

BR,
