This topic explains how to register the startup commands that HULFT executes as the Pre-send Job, the Post-send Job, or the Post-receive Job.
You can view and modify this information on the following screens:

| [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 Job Information.
1. Job Information
This field specifies the ID to identify the job to be started.
This Job ID is associated with the Job ID in the Send Management Information and with the Job ID in the Receive Management Information.
This field specifies batch files or program names.
Specify the absolute path.
If you specify parameters, separate them with spaces.
If the paths or the executable file names for the Startup Job include spaces, specify the names as MS-DOS names. For details about the MS-DOS names, refer to 'Windows Help.' You can register a maximum of 13 jobs for a single job ID.
This field specifies the comment for the startup job.
2. Additional information other than Job Information
This additional information is displayed together with the Job Information on each screen where you edit the Job Information. You can view and modify this information on screens in HULFT-HUB Manager.
| [Note] | You cannot view this additional information on the Management screen on the client (HULFT) side. |
This field specifies the alias for the job.
It is recommended that you assign a unique name in the Job Information so that each job ID that is displayed on screens in HULFT-HUB Manager can be easily identified.
This field specifies the Business Group ID that uses this Job Information.
This field shows the Batch Distribution Information ID with which the Job Information is registered as distribution data.
| [Remarks] | You can view this field on the Collecting and Distributing System Management Information screen (cannot be modified). |
Points to be Noted When Configuring Settings
1. Specification of multiple jobs
If multiple jobs are specified, HULFT executes the jobs in order. HULFT does not execute the jobs in parallel. If the job ends unsuccessfully, HULFT will not execute subsequent jobs.
2. Replacement message
You can replace variables with received messages by specifying the variables from '$MSG0' to '$MSG5' for the Startup Job (Message Transmission function).
| [Note] | For details about the Message Transmission function, refer to Administration Manual for the client. |
Points to be Noted on Operation
1. Permissions during job execution
A Job is executed with the permissions of the user who started the process that executes the job.
For example, a Post-send Job is executed with the permissions that are granted to the user that started the Send process.
If a user executes a job with the permissions of general users, HULFT cannot carry out processing for which the user does not have permission.
For details about permissions during job execution, refer to Administration Manual for the client.
