how can i setup mft database logger and integrate it with remote database on container?

Hi,

MFT Database logger requires a server bindings connection to a coordination queue manager. This means you will need to build a container having both MQ and MFT binaries built into the image. The container would run the coordination qm with required MFT configuration and MFT DB Logger would need to be configured to the coordination qm and a DB running in a remote container.

You may want to follow this page - https://github.com/ibm-messaging/mq-container build your container.

Hope this helped.

Hi Shashikanth,
I am following below link to setup MFT solution on openshift through configmap and deployment yaml. I am using standard mqmft image for mft-agent (icr.io/ibm-messaging/mqmft:latest).

https://github.com/ibm-messaging/mq-container-mft/blob/master/external-how-to-docs/usage-ocp.md

I am not able to find solution how to enable FTE logger here, also how and where i can pass configuration to integrate it with my remote DB (running on stand alone VM).

Hello,

No the current image from irc.io does not support DB Logger. Hence I mentioned in my earlier update for you to build your own image. You can also raise a request for enhancement via this link: https://integration-development.ideas.ibm.com/?project=MESNS.
