We're using IBM MQFT for a file transfer between 2 systems and we have a requirement to move the original file to a different location on the source file system once the transfer is complete.

From the knowledge center MFT documentation what I can see is that we may need to write a user exit program to do this. I guess I would set the source_file_disposition to "leave" and use the exit program to move the file.

Is that the correct way to go about it, or there a simpler way to do this that I'm not seeing?

Regards

There are few options for you.

  1. You can run a command or a shell script or an Ant script as part of postSrc parameter of fteCreateTransfer command. Once transfer is complete MFT will run the specified command to move the files from source to another directory.

  2. As you mentioned a Java exit can be written to move the files after transfer completion.

You may want to refer samples Java exit and Ant Script here.
