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

-
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:
- Switching to transfer via HULFT-HUB Server using the Route Batch Modification function - Registration of a client with 'Switch to HUB Transfer' specified - Creation of a Transfer definition for transfer via HULFT-HUB Server -
When you specify the Notification Host Name in the Registered Client Information
For the host name in the Host Information that is used for all transfers via HULFT-HUB Server, HULFT-HUB uses the name that you specify for the Notification Host Name.
