You can register a string "DEFEND" as a value for the Host Name on the HULFT Management Console. However, you cannot register a string "DEFEND" as a value for the Host Name when you use the Management Information Batch Registration command (UTLIUPDT), because the string is a reserved word in the command. |

Behavior when multiple hosts are registered
Behavior when multiple hosts are registered in Transfer Group ID of the Receive Management Information is different between Send File and Send Request.
Send File
HULFT sends data to all the hosts that are registered in Transfer Group ID (multicasting).
Send Request
HULFT sends data only to hosts that issued the Send Request.
If a host that issued Send Request has not been registered in Transfer Group ID, an error occurs.
