Send Management Information settings

To download an object by using the information on the Cloud Storage DB, include the Send Storage Management Information ID in the path specified for File Name in the Send Management Information.

This links the send file to the Cloud Storage DB.

For details on the Send Storage Management Information ID, refer to Send Storage Management Information settings.

To configure the individual settings or the default settings, specify a path for File Name as shown below.

Table 2.18 Path specification for downloads from object storage

Type of Object Storage

Path

Amazon S3

s3://SendStorageManagementInformationID/objectname

Azure Blob Storage

bs://SendStorageManagementInformationID/objectname

Google Cloud Storage

gs://SendStorageManagementInformationID/objectname
Note

  • Use a bucket name or container name for the Send Storage Management Information ID.

  • You can check the bucket name or container name of the download source from Send File Name in the Send Log by using the bucket name or container name for the Send Storage Management Information ID in Send File Name.

  • 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 to 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 2.18 . In such cases, a file open error occurs when the sending-side host tries to send the file to the disk.

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

= Remarks =

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.
