Question

I would like to confirm the following regarding HULFT Transfer specifications.

1. Does HULFT Transfer support communication with HULFT4?
2. If a file transfer fails, will HULFT Square resend the file automatically?

Answer

Does HULFT Transfer support communication with HULFT4?

HULFT Transfer does not support to communicate with HULFT5 or any older version.

HULFT Transfer is equivalent to HULFT8 Ver8.5.0.. Therefore, the guaranteed communication range of HULFT Transfer is the same as that version of HULFT8.

If a file transfer fails, will HULFT Square resend the file automatically?

If a communication error occurs during sending a file from HULFT Square, it is possible to resend the file automatically depending on "Socket Error Retry Count" setting in HULFT Transfer Service.

In case that HULFT Square is a reciever, the behavior in the event of a communication error depends on the settings of the sender.
