MQ File Mover. It's a bit special (with longer file names for example), but does not cost much.

MQFM is actually free (open source) - but it's more about moving files over MQ than file to message protocol conversion.
WMB is the obviously commerical option for protocol conversion. |

That rules MB out. The OP is looking for an adapter. I think there are several commercial alternatives.
I agree that MQFM works best as a mover - as its name says. I have, however, used it with MB as an adapter. It was a bit tricky, because if the file name is too long to fit in a certain MQMD field (ApplIdentityData, I think it was), MQFM will construct an XML message and put it between the header and the payload. But that was quite easy to handle in MB. |

I think the OP would be interested in their names.

If you send a file to a single message, you will have size constraints, unless you can handle segmentation, grouping (and/or the changing of your max message size on channels, DLQ, xmit queues etc).
It's not hard to code MQI calls, so if you can code a program that can performs the file part (and there are probably examples around), adding the MQI calls is not that difficult. Why pay for such a simple function? Use Java, Perl, Python, C - etc.
Or using (free) support pac MA01 to handle the file to MQ upload would also work - and then you only have to code a wraparound shell script to look for new files and invoke the Q program (MA01) as a line command (it supports client mode). |

Or you could write a wrapper to go around the sample File Transfer Application which has shipped since V6.

Hi,
MQ File Mover (MQFM) can be used as a one-sided file-to-message tool. MQFM will only attach an XML header to the message data if any of the "Remote values are too long".
Remote values:
- Remote Job is longer than 24 characters
- Remote Directory is longer than 32 characters
- Remote Filename is longer than 32 characters
If you keep those 3 Remote values less than what is noted above then MQFM will "put" the file exactly as a message - no extra data in the message payload.
Regards,
Roger Lacroix
