				Ratan,
 
This client is only looking for flat file adapter and ftp adapter. We do not have MQ adapter. |

				As long as you can get the file into the format that the legacy system needs using the flat file adapter, I dont see any reason why you cant use it.  I never used flat file adapter, so my knowledge is limited. 
 
 
You might have to write a custom data handler. _________________ -Ratan |

				Hi;  
 
 
   My experience with Flat File adapter are little shaky, as what you get from flat file adapter is a binary array of the whole file.  Then you have to parse the binary array and construct a BO out of it.  
 
 
   If your Mainframe application can access the JMS messaging, its good to write a small layer of code to integrate with WPS.  Otherwise look for web services 
 
 
   BTW Flat File adapter can not poll a remote serve using ftp protocol (this was supported in JText Adapter).
 
 
Regards
