Setup Websphere MQ File Transfer Database Logger

Step 1. Run the following db2 command:

— drop if necessary and then create FTELOGDB

echo *******************************************************

echo the following command may fail because the database did

echo NOT previously exist, this is an acceptable error

echo *******************************************************

drop database FTELOGDB

echo — Creating database FTELOGDB

create database FTELOGDB

echo — Connect to FTELOGDB database

connect to FTELOGDB user esbuser using wesb4soa

— catalog FTELOGDB as a odbc data source

catalog system odbc data source FTELOGDB

list system odbc data sources

echo — now create the schemae, tables and views

echo — use this db2cmd command console

echo — it is already connected to the database

Step 2: Create the DB2 Schema Tables

Navigate to: C:\Program Files\IBM\WMQFTE\tools\sql

(Database Name created in Step 1)

wmqfte.database.driver=D:/Applications/IBM/SQLLIB/java/db2jcc.jar;D:/Applications/IBM/SQLLIB/java/db2jcc_license_cu.jar

(DB2 Driver Path)

wmqfte.database.native.library.path=C:/Applications/IBM/SQLLIB/lib

(Library Path to DB2)

Step 4: Setup the transaction manager

Open MQ Explorer right click on the Coordinator Queue Manager and select Properties. Under XA Resource Manager click the ‘Add’ button.

Enter FTELOGDB as the Name.
