Host Information
This topic explains how to register detailed information for the host on the sending side and the host on the receiving side.
When you add a Transfer definition, HULFT-HUB Manager automatically generates the Host Information from the Registered Client Information of the clients in HULFT-HUB system (the clients on the Structure Diagram on the Management screen) and registers the information.
You can view and modify this information on the following screens:
- Register Host Information/Modify Host Information Record screen
- Collecting and Distributing System Management Information screen
You can also import and export this information on the following screen:
- Collecting and Distributing System Management Information screen
| [Note] | For versions lower than HULFT-HUB Server Ver.3.9, if the client is HULFT Ver.8.4 or higher and the Forced Strong Key Mode is set to 'Enabled' in the System Environment Settings, connection with the client is not supported. Therefore, it is not possible to view, update, or newly register the management information for that client. |

Explanation of Each Field
The following describes the fields that are configured in the Host Information.
For a field for which you select an option from the list, the following shows both the options that are displayed on the screen and the values that are described in the CSV file to be used for Collecting and Distributing System Management Information.
1. Basic Settings
These fields are the basic settings for remote hosts for file transfer.
This field specifies the name of the host on the sending side or of the host on the receiving side.
For the Send processing, this host name is associated with the host name of the Transfer Group Information.
For the Receive processing, this host name is associated with the local host name on the sending side.
For a host that carries out file transfer via HULFT-HUB Server, specify the host name within 44 bytes.
| [Note] | Specify only alphanumeric characters for the host name. Although you can use specific symbols in order to ensure backward compatibility, HULFT may not operate correctly if you do so. |
This field specifies the host type for the host.

This field specifies the comment regarding the host.
| [Note] | If you enter double-byte codes on a screen in HULFT-HUB Manager, shift codes may be added to the double-byte codes when the information is registered on the client side. If the data exceeds 60 bytes when shift codes are added, HULFT will cut the data of the 61st byte and after. |

Points to be Noted When Configuring Settings
1. Host name that is used for transfer via HULFT-HUB Server
-
When you omit the Notification Host Name in the Registered Client Information
The host name in the Host Information that is used for transfer via HULFT-HUB Server varies according to the setting of the Notification Host Name for Transfer via HUB in the System Environment Settings of HULFT-HUB Server.
Notification Host Name for Transfer via HUB Host Name in Host Information Format with Port No. Host Name_Receive Port No. Format with Port No. for Controlled Clients Only Format without Port No. Host Name This is the case for the Host Information that is registered in HULFT-HUB Manager when you carry out the following operations:
