How file distribution works

In HULFT IoT, in order to receive files by using Agent on an IoT equipment, specifying the file names by using an absolute path on the IoT equipment is called the "reception settings". To distribute a file from Manager, select the reception settings on the Profile Details screen, and then upload the file to the environment in which Manager is installed.

Agent receives files at regular intervals determined by the value set for [Receive Queue Polling Interval]. Agent stores files on IoT equipment according to the [File Name at Send Destination] of the reception settings. If a file exists that has the same name as the file to be received, Agent updates the file. You can set up jobs in the reception settings that are to be executed after Agent successfully receives a file.

Agent creates a Receive Log that records whether Agent received a file successfully.
