Compressed transfer

When sending files, you can compress them. Available options for the Compression Preference include compression within records (horizontal compression), compression between records (vertical compression), DEFLATE compression, and Zstandard compression.

 

You can specify Compression Preference in the Send Management Information. You can configure the Send Management Information on the HULFT Management Console or by running a command.
