:

On the HULFT Manager Management Console, you can enter a string of up to 60 characters. When the destination host is HULFT Ver.8.1 or higher, the size of the string that you entered will be checked based on the code set that is set in HULFT at the connection destination. When HULFT checks and confirms that the size of the string meets the condition that is given in the remarks, the characters that you entered will be saved in HULFT.

*2

:

Hyphen (-), Period (.)

When you use HULFT-HUB, HULFT-HUB may set a host name with an underscore (_).

HULFT-HUB uses the host name with an underscore (_) to manage HULFT. You cannot use an underscore (_) in a host name for transfer.

Behavior when multiple hosts are registered

The behavior when multiple hosts are registered for the transfer group ID in the Send Management Information differs between the Send File and the Send Request.

Send File

HULFT sends data to all the hosts registered in the transfer group ID (multicasting).

Send Request

HULFT sends data only to hosts that issued the Send Request.

If a host that issued the Send Request has not been registered in the transfer group ID, an error occurs.
