This section explains the fields to be specified in the Transfer Group Information. The parenthesized strings are the names of each field and you can use them as field tags in a parameter file when registering the information.

Behavior when multiple hosts are registered

The behavior when multiple hosts are registered in Transfer Group ID of the Send Management Information differs between the Send File and the Send Request.

Send File

HULFT sends data to all the hosts registered in 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 Transfer Group ID, an error occurs.
