HULFT, the de facto standard in Japan for file transfer, supports numerous integrations with various systems, including mission-critical system, core system. However, some systems still utilize older versions such as HULFT8 and HULFT7.
Since February 2025, Saison Technology has been offering the "HULFT 10 Version Upgrade Analysis Service" to support a smooth upgrade to the latest version, "HULFT 10." This service analyzes the environment configuration files and usage logs of the current system on behalf of the customer, and proposes points to note regarding functional differences between the old and new versions, as well as functions that can be improved by replacing them with new features. However, as the full-scale migration to "HULFT 10" progresses, users and partner companies have requested an expansion of the analysis scope and improvements to the report content.

Update contents

The following has been added and improved in this update:

  1. Addition of analysis target products
    Added Linux version and some HULFT7 products
    In the first release, only "HULFT8 for Windows" was targeted for analysis, but now we have added "HULFT8 for Linux," which is the next most popular version. Furthermore, for "HULFT7" for which the end of Limited Support (extended support) is fast approaching, we have added "HULFT7 for Windows" and "HULFT7 for Linux."
  2. Improved report content
    (1) Providing information on new, improved, and incompatible features in HULFT 10 according to the product used by the service user.The "Overall Analysis Report" now includes "Impact on overall operations" and "List of changes to management information" according to the product used.
    "Impact on overall operations" lists functions that have been added, improved, or are incompatible with HULFT 10, while "List of changes to management information" lists changes to management information in HULFT 10, such as "item name changes," "item abolition," and "item division."

(2) The analysis report has been divided into two files, "List" and "Details," for easier understanding.
The "Individual Analysis Report," which outputs added, improved, incompatible, and deprecated features by ID, has been divided into two files, "List" and "Details," to improve the clarity of the analysis results.
"List" outputs the presence or absence of incompatible or deprecated functions and message numbers for each ID, while "Details" outputs the message content and how to deal with it.
