Improved functions of HULFT-HUB
Improved Route Batch Modification functionality
|
|
|
|
The installation support function is now called 'Route Batch Modification function' because the following improvements were made:
-
In addition to an existing function that switches from Direct Transfer to HUB Transfer, a function that switches from HUB Transfer to Direct Transfer was added.
-
The Structure Diagram screen allows you to select clients and switch the transfer route between them.
-
The results list that appears after the Route Batch Modification function is executed shows the results and reasons. Also, the results list can be exported to external files.
Enhancement in the Collecting and Distributing System Management Information function
|
|
|
|
The Collecting and Distributing System Management Information function can create and delete system management information and copy it within the same host.
Additionally, in HULFT-HUB Server for UNIX/Linux-ENT, the function can collect and distribute the following management information of HULFT-HUB Server:
-
Transfer information
-
Transfer conditions
Improved registering clients functionality
|
|
|
|
To use HULFT-HUB Manager to register clients with HULFT-HUB Server, you can register multiple clients at once by loading an external CSV file that describes the definition of multiple clients.
Additional option: HULFT Multicasting via HUB
|
+ |
|
In versions earlier than Ver.3.0, when multiple receiving clients exist in a transfer map, selecting "Auto Arrangement" on the Transfer Definition screen causes the transfer definition to be set to "HUB Multicasting". In Ver.3.0, you can select another option HULFT Multicasting via HUB in addition to "HUB Multicasting". Selecting "HULFT Multicasting via HUB" to transfer enables sending clients to multicast. By doing so, you can set up sending-side conversion, which is not available for HUB Multicasting.
Provision of setting files for SIGNAlert
|
|
|
To make it easy to use SIGNAlert to monitor activities, setting files for monitoring conditions and measures are provided. They can guide you to set monitoring conditions and measures to be registered.
Relay transfer with clients that are outside of control
|
+ |
|
HUB Transfer can be Yes even for clients that are outside of control.
Accumulating AES-encrypted data
|
|
|
By using HULFT-HUB Server Cipher Option, you can accumulate data that is AES-encrypted with HULFT.
Delivering data accumulated due to delivery errors
|
|
|
The Delivery Instruction utility (utlhubsend) now provides an additional parameter (-r) to request redelivery. When this parameter is specified, only data that is accumulated due to delivery errors is delivered.
Improvement in assigning Transfer Group IDs
|
|
|
|
The Transfer Information screen now allows you to select an existing Transfer Group ID.
Additionally, Transfer Group IDs are not deleted when the transfer information is deleted.
Messages displayed on the screen while a utility is executed
|
|
|
While a utility is executed, the following events cause messages to be displayed on the screen:
-
Ended Successfully (*1)
-
Ended Unsuccessfully
-
Error Detection
A message includes the message number, message level, and message text.
*1 Utilities that are designed to display information on the screen do not display messages when the utilities are completed successfully. For example, the following utilities do not display messages when they are completed successfully:
-
Operation Log List Display utility (utlhubopllist)
-
Client List Display utility (utlhubclientlist)
Error icons that change automatically
|
+ |
|
The HULFT-HUB Server icons in the Structure Diagram on the Management screen now automatically change in color depending on the transfer status, even when an error is resolved. If you set Transfer Error Resolution Determination Condition in the System Environment Settings of HULFT-HUB Server, you can select error resolution conditions.
Error Correction Display function in the Transfer Status Watch screen
|
+ |
|
When a transfer fails, the Transfer Status Watch screen shows the log record in red. Then, in Ver.3.0 or later, the color of the log record automatically changes to black when a transfer for which the sending client has the same File ID is completed successfully. To enable this function, Transfer Status Watch Error Correction Display in the environment settings of HULFT-HUB Manager must be set to be Yes.
Improvement in the display style of the Structure Diagram
|
|
|
|
The display style of the Structure Diagram was changed as follows:
-
You can set a display name that appears on the host icon by using the setting of Host Display Name on Structure Diagram. This setting is available in the environment settings of HULFT-HUB Manager.
-
Previously, the icon color of 'Not Started' clients was similar to the icon color of some 'Started' clients. Now, the icon color of "Not Started" clients has been changed.
-
When you select a host icon, the background color of the icon changes to yellow.
-
When many clients are registered and the Auto Arrangement option is selected, the spacing between client icons can be adjusted as much as possible to prevent the icons from overlapping.
-
When a host icon overlaps with another host icon, one of the icons appears translucently.
-
When a host icon overlaps with a connection line, the overlapped part of the line is paled out.
Icons displayed when the Auto Arrangement option is selected
|
|
|
|
When the Auto Arrangement option is selected on the Transfer Information screen, the transfer map now can show HULFT-HUB Server icons in the same way as when the Manual Arrangement option is selected. HULFT-HUB Server Ver.3.0, you can configure accumulation settings and other settings by clicking the icons.
Improved logging in to neighboring servers functionality
|
|
|
|
In versions earlier than Ver.3.0, you cannot log in to a neighboring server when the password for the neighboring server differs from the password for the login server. In Ver.3.0 or later, you can log in to a neighboring server with a different password by entering the password when you connect to the neighboring server.
Additional fields for accumulation settings
|
+ |
|
The environment settings now provide additional fields Stored Generation File and Prohibiting Overtaking.
Additionally, the Accumulation Condition field in the Accumulation Environment Settings provides an additional option of Deliver after Accumulation.

Since using the proper communication methods based on the acquired information, the restriction in environment in which the lower server coexists is relaxed.
Aliases subject to restriction
About Restrictions on aliases, previously, if a HULFT-HUB Server version earlier than Ver.3.6 exists on the transfer route, the restriction must exist.
However, during monitoring the activity of neighboring server by using HULFT-HUB Ver3.7, improvement has been made so that the restriction occurs only when HULFT-HUB Server Ver.3.6 and HULFT-HUB Server earlier than Ver.3.6 coexist on the transfer route.
Restrictions on HULFT7 communication mode
About Restrictions on HULFT7 communication mode, previously, the restriction must exist when using the relevant lower server to relay or accumulate data.
However, improvement has been made so that the restriction occurs only when HULFT-HUB Server Ver3.7 monitors the activity of the relevant lower server as the neighboring server.
Improved regular backup of management information functionality
|
+ |
|
Added the field Sending Side Destination Type to the Transfer Information. When the Transfer definition is created in the Transfer Information screen of HULFT-HUB Manager, this field records which is set for the Route Settings, Auto Arrangement or Manual Arrangement.
By viewing the value of this field, even when the Manual Arrangement is set for the Transfer definition to set a route, the Send Request and the Resend Request can be relayed to the appropriate client on the sending side.
If the Manual Arrangement is specified for the Transfer definition in the earlier version, the Send Request and the Resend Request are relayed when the 'Manual Arrangement' is set for the Sending Side Destination Type in the Transfer Information after performing the update installation of HULFT-HUB Server and HULFT-HUB Manager.
