Outline of operating environments
Files on a network that are stored by a machine different from the operating HULFT are called 'networked files.' When HULFT accesses the networked files through the Send processing, the Receive processing, or the File Trigger function, HULFT-specific exclusive control is applied on the target file. This exclusive control is called 'networked file locking.'
Before starting operation, refer to Points to be noted for cautions concerning the use of networked files. For details about how to lock networked files, the System Environment Settings regarding lock operations, and the use of files, refer to Lock of send and receive files.
Example of an operating environment
An example of an operating environment is shown below.
For a Receive file on a file server, you can enable the generational management by using HULFT functions, or you can append Receive files to a file on a file server.
Figure 3.1 Example Operating Environment for Networked File
Example of an operating environment that monitors networked files with the File Trigger function
An example of an operating environment is shown below. The system uses the File Trigger function from a remote HULFT, monitors networked files, and sends files when triggered by the detection of file creation.
Refer to File Trigger for details about the File Trigger function.
