Verify the scenario by transferring a file from 4690 OS to head office

Use this scenario to demonstrate using a IBM® MQ Managed File Transfer resource monitor to transfer a file from the 4690 OS store controller in a retail store to a computer at a head-office site.

In the previous topic, Configuring the agent on 4690 OS to monitor a directory, you configured the retail store agent to monitor a directory. When files are placed into this directory, they are transferred to the head-office computer. These steps verify that your topology is working correctly by creating a file in the monitored directory, and checking that it is transferred to the head-office computer.

Create a file, for example C:\MONITOR\MYFILE.TXT in the directory that is being monitored on COMPUTER2.
```
 echo A big hello to everyone at head-office > C:\MONITOR\MYFILE.TXT 
```
The agent on the 4690 OS system (SAGENT) automatically transfers this file to the head-office computer.
To view information about the file transfer operation, started by creating a file in the monitored directory, click Managed File Transfer in the IBM MQ Explorer navigation view, expand hoffQM, and select Transfer Log.
You can also inspect the file system of COMPUTER1 manually to confirm that the new file exists, for example: C:\end\myfile.txt.20130307103836255
