Make transfers from filesystem to queue transactional Merged

IBM MQ MFT is particularly unstable. Transfers involving more than a couple of dozen files will frequently stall, agents becoming unresponsive, requiring manual intervention.

If, after such intervention, a given file to queue transfer is restarted, all the files that were submitted to the queue during an earlier attempt will be put to the queue again, and processed by the receiving applications a second time. In my environment, this frequently occurs. In my situation it is not usually harmful, since the receiving application is robust enough - but I can imagine this is not always the case.

Might it be possible to make it so that file to queue transfers are first committed to temporary system queues, and only committed to the specified target queue after the entire transfer has been successfully completed?
