Points to be noted on added or improved features in HULFT7

Even when HULFT-HUB Ver.2.2 or higher is used, you must note the following points in order to use added or improved features in HULFT7:

(1) Points to be noted on framed message transfer type and data transfer method

Although the Transfer Speed Priority Mode is specified both hosts on the sending side and the receiving side, HULFT transfers in the Error Detection Priority Mode depending on the settings of HULFT-HUB.Shown below are the conditions where the transfer is carried out in the Error Detection Priority Mode:

  • Multicasting is specified.

  • Either "Accumulate only when unable to transfer" or "Transfer and accumulate concurrently" is specified for the Accumulation Conditions.

(2) Points to be noted on UTF-8

In the transfer via HULFT-HUB Server, where there is only one host on the receiving side and the Transfer Routing is set to "Auto arrangement", code conversion is performed on the receiving side, except in the case where the Kanji Code Type and the JIS Year on all the hosts on the receiving side including HULFT-HUB Server are consistent. In conversion on the receiving side, if the host on the receiving side is any one of the following, the conversion to or from UTF-8 is not available: HULFT Ver.5, HULFT Ver.6, or HULFT7 for Mainframe lower than Ver.7.2.0.

Note that failure in correct code conversion does not cause an error in transfer.

(3) Points to be noted on data verification

This section explains HULFT that requires the setting of data verification function by operation structure of HULFT-HUB.

Refer to HULFT-HUB Manual for the data verification on HULFT-HUB and HULFT-HUB Manager Online Help for the operation of the setting operation, respectively.

Relay

Specify the Verify Data in the Receive Management Information that exists in HULFT on the receiving side client (Enable the Verify Data).

Figure 9.6 Setting of Data Verification When Using HULFT-HUB (Relay)

Multicasting

Specify the Verify Data in the Receive Management Information that exists in HULFT on the receiving side client. (Enable the Verify Data)

Figure 9.7 Setting of Data Verification When Using HULFT-HUB (Multicasting)

Accumulation

The Transfer Information (Accumulation Settings) of the server where the transfer data is accumulated requires settings for data verification. In addition, enable the Verify Data in the Receive Management Information of HULFT on the receiving side client.
