I think I am trying to re-inventing the wheel here. But here is the deal,
1. Have a directory full of xml files (with different names)
2. Need something to poll the directory every 2 secs or so, and put them in a queue and delete/archive the files after that.
3. Peace.
I believe WMB does give you that functionality. But unfortunately we are not in a position to buy that product(time and money constraints, lets say ! ).
I am running MQ 7.01 on Windows. Is there any way, I can reach step 3 without shelling out a lot of money ?
cheers
Anil.

when in your directory there are lots of xml files, then whats the criteria to put them in a queue ?
Do you want all of'em to be put in a queue in one shot and make the directory empty by deleting/archiving ? and whenever new one comes up then put it again ?

@Zpat: thanks for the pointers, the MQFM from CapitalWare looks very good. I tried MA01 pac already, but looks no good to me. The documentation doesnt clearly say much about file inputs.

@shashivarungupta: There is no criteria as such. I just need all the files as individual messages in the queue. And this is not one off a thing, files do come in regularly, so I need to poll that directory as well.

-F[+]<filename>
Input/output file.
Entire file will be put to the output queue as a single message.
|
You could put together a script like this to recursively call the ma01 support pac to put files to your queue
| Code: |
ls *.xml | while read fileNames;
do echo q -o OUTPUT-QUEUE -m QUEUE-MANAGER -F $fileNames;
q -o OUTPUT-QUEUE -m QUEUE-MANAGER -F $fileNames;
done

Using the above hack with the incron could be the answer

MQFM should do exactly what you want. Simply use the 'Watch' action. You can set the Poll Interval to any value that is greater than 5 seconds (less than 5 seconds may cause too much IO).
