Send Management Information settings

Setting for send file name

When downloading send files from the object storage, specify a path in the following format for File Name of the Send Management Information according to the object storage that is the download source.

Table 3.14 Path specification for downloads from object storage

Type of Object Storage

Path

Amazon S3

s3://bucketname/objectname

Azure Blob Storage

bs://containername/objectname

Google Cloud Storage

gs://bucketname/objectname
Note

  • The "s3://," "bs://," and "gs://" at the beginning of the path are fixed strings corresponding to each type of object storage. Be sure to specify lowercase characters only.

  • Even if the sending-side host is Windows, use a "/" (slash) as the path delimiter when you specify the path for the download from object storage, not a "\" (backslash).

  • If the corresponding HULFT Cloud Storage Option is not installed, the object storage path will not be recognized, even if the path is specified as shown in Table 3.14 . In such cases, a file open error occurs when the sending-side host tries to send the file on the disk.

  • For the bucket name or container name, specify the name of a bucket or container that exists in the object storage. If a bucket or container with the specified name does not exist, the download ends in an error.

  • You cannot specify multibyte characters for the bucket name or container name due to object storage specifications. For the object name, you can specify multibyte characters.

  • A "/" cannot be specified at the end of the object name. If specified, a transfer error occurs.

= Remarks =

  • A "/" can be included in the object name.

    For example, the path "s3://sales/kanto/tokyo/akasaka.dat" is handled as follows:

    Bucket Name:

    sales

    Object Name:

    kanto/tokyo/akasaka.dat

  • There is no hierarchical structure in object storage. All objects in the bucket are stored flat. However, if the object name includes a "/," the object is displayed on the management console of each object storage as though it has a folder hierarchy.

Settings for the handling of send files

Objects in object storage cannot be handled in the same way as files on the disk.

Therefore, there are some restrictions on the values that can be set for the following items related to the handling of send files:

Send File Mode

Because object storage has no exclusive control, files cannot be deleted, cleared, or locked. Therefore, specify "Keep" for Send File Mode.

 

For items other than the above, check HULFT functional restrictions for downloads from object storage, and then set them according to actual operations.

For details on download operations, refer to Parallel downloads.
