Limitations on added features in HULFT7

In a configuration including a client of HULFT lower than Ver.7 or a server of HULFT-HUB Server lower than Ver.2.2, limitations in use of the following features that are added in HULFT Ver.7 apply:

  • Operation Log

  • Data transfer according to the Framed Message Transfer Type

  • Verify Data

(1) Limitations on operation log

On the client that is HULFT lower than Ver.7 or on the server on which HULFT-HUB lower than Ver.2.2 is installed, the operation log function is not available.

Meanwhile, if there is a HULFT-HUB Server lower than Ver.2.2 en route, the operation log function is not available even on HULFT-HUB Server Ver.2.2 or higher, or on HULFT Ver.7 or higher, if they lie further than HULFT-HUB Server lower than Ver.2.2.

Figure 9.1 Limitations on operation log

(2) Limitations on Framed Message Transfer Type

If either of the following conditions is met, the application ignores the setting if Framed Message Transfer Type is set to "Transfer Speed Priority Mode" in the System Environment Settings in HULFT Ver.7 or higher and transfers data in Error Detection Priority mode.

  • When there is a client that is HULFT lower than Ver.7 on the sending side or on the receiving side

  • When there is HULFT-HUB Server lower than Ver.2.2 en route

Meanwhile, the application applies the transfer according to setting of the Framed Message Transfer Type in the cases explained below.

 

Also, if all of the following conditions are met on the way from the client on the sending side through the Accumulation Server, the application applies the transfer according to the setting of Framed Message Transfer Type, from the client on the sending side through HULFT-HUB Server where the data is accumulated.

  • "Accumulate only" or "Deliver after accumulation" is specified for Accumulation Conditions.

  • Client on the sending side is HULFT Ver.7 or higher.

  • All of HULFT-HUB Servers that exist en route to HULFT-HUB Server where the data is accumulated are Ver.2.2 or higher.

(3) Limitations on Data Verification

To carry out data verification all the way from the client on the sending side through the client on the receiving side, clients on both sending side and receiving side must install HULFT Ver.7 or higher. In addition, it is necessary to have HULFT-HUB Server Ver.2.2 or higher installed on the transfer routing.

However, in the operation that uses the accumulation function of HULFT-HUB, data verification may become available in some part of the Transfer Routing, even when the client on the receiving side is lower than HULFT Ver.7 or HULFT-HUB Server en route is lower than Ver.2.2.

The pattern of structure decides the availability of data verification. In any patterns of structure, execution of data verification assumes that the client on the sending side is HULFT Ver.7 or higher.
