A brief description of each of the c-treeRTG COBOL Edition directories is given below:
Driver - The Driver directory contains drivers for COBOL and each of the supported SQL APIs as well as tutorials for stored procedures.
The 64-bit installation provides both 32-bit and 64-bit drivers: The ctree.cobol directory contains 64-bit drivers and the ctree.cobol.32bit directory contains 32-bit drivers, which are provided in case you need to run a legacy 32-bit application on a 64-bit system. The 32-bit installation omits the ctree.cobol.32bit directory and places the 32-bit drivers in the ctree.cobol directory.
ctree.callbacks
ctree.cobol (see "Inside the Driver/ctree.cobol Directory" below for more details)
ctree.cobol.32bit (see the note above)
ctree.common
ctree.cpp
ctree.ctdb
ctree.isam
ctree.isam.java
ctree.isam.net.cs
ctree.isam.net.vb
sql.ado.net (Windows only)
sql.hibernate
sql.jdbc
sql.odbc
sql.php
sql.php.pdo
sql.python
sql.sqlalchemy
sql.stored.procs
Server - The server directory contains the powerful FairCom DB SQL engine, already started as a service in most Microsoft Windows environments. You will find your data in this area when you begin using FairCom DB SQL. A single directory contains the entire FairCom DB SQL database. FairCom DB SQL is smaller than 10 megabytes yet rivals the performance of other database products hundreds of times its size!
SetUp - If you installed from the Windows Zip file, a folder called SetUp is created. It contains the configuration tool, FairComConfig.exe, which will help you configure the ODBC driver, the ADO.NET driver, and the FairCom DB Windows Service. If you installed using the Windows installation program (e.g., *.msi), the setup is done for you so this folder does not exist. Non-Windows packages do not include this folder.
Tools - This area contains a collection of sleek and modern FairCom DB tools. Two folders are provided. cmdline contains basic command line tools, for administrative tasks. A guitools folder contains the binaries for all of the FairCom DB tools installed and available from the Windows Start menu. The section titled FairCom DB Tools explains the graphical tools provided with c-treeRTG. These folders are provided:
cmdline – Contains basic command line tools, for administrative tasks.
gui – (Windows only) Contains .NET versions of the FairCom DB tools, which are available from the Windows Start menu.
guitools.java – Contains cross-platform Java-based tools for configuring c-treeRTG and migrating your data.
Inside the Driver/ctree.cobol Directory
The Driver directory includes the ctree.cobol directory, which contains drivers and utilities for each COBOL compiler (on 64-bit systems, the ctree.cobol directory provides 64-bit drivers and ctree.cobol.32bit provides 32-bit drivers):
acucobol
ctreeacu.c – Required to support ACUCOBOL on Windows and Unix. See the c-treeRTG COBOL Edition User's Guide for instructions about ACUCOBOL-GT setup.
ctutil.exe – A special version of ctutil is provided for each compiler.
extfh
CTEXTFH.dll – The c-treeRTG COBOL Edition driver for the ExtFH supported compilers, which includes the Micro Focus compiler.
CTEXTFH.lib – The static link library version of the c-treeRTG COBOL Edition driver for the ExtFH supported compilers. Most often, you will not need this library.
ctutil.exe – A special version of ctutil is provided for each compiler.
iscobol
ctree.dll – This is the c-treeRTG COBOL Edition driver for the isCobol compiler developed by Veryant.
ctutil.exe – A special version of ctutil is provided for each compiler.
rm-cobol
ctutil.exe – A special version of ctutil is provided for each compiler.
mtclient.dll – This is the c-treeRTG COBOL Edition driver for the RM/COBOL compiler.
The samples directory includes conversion routines that can be integrated into your programs. These samples allow you to create additional functionality that is not required to implement c-treeRTG.
acucobol
cscopy.cbl – A sample COBOL program that provides a working example of using the COBOL C$COPY functionality for properly copying a c-treeRTG data file.
getinfo.cbl – A COBOL program that shows how to retrieve file information.
visionconvert
filesys.def – Contains variables and values for use with the ACUCOBOL file handler.
mig.cbl – An example of a COBOL program to migrate files from Vision to c-tree by reading from the Vision database and writing into the c-tree database.
readme.txt
XDDcheck
filesys.def – Contains variables and values for use with the ACUCOBOL file handler.
xddchk.cbl – A COBOL program that reads an XDD and validates it.
xdddef.def – Contains return codes and definitions used by xddchk.cbl.
extfh\mfconvert
mfconvert.cbl – A COBOL program to migrate files from the configured Micro Focus file system to c-tree by reading from the original file system and writing to c-tree.
xfhfcd.cpy – Contains variables for use with the Micro Focus ExtFH file handler.
iscobol
cobol-esql.cbl – This example shows how to use Veryant’s isCobol Embedded SQL API in your program. Note: This is not the FairCom Embedded SQL that is included with FairCom DB.
Tutorials - The FairCom DB tutorials are contained here. To ensure your c-treeRTG COBOL Edition environment is correctly set up and working, a helpful COBOL example is provided in the tutorials directory under ctree.cobol.
Tutorial1
cobol_Tutorial1.cbl – This tutorial follows the standard "Init, Define, Manage, Done" format provided for all FairCom DB interfaces. You will not need to use these procedures to use c-treeRTG. Simply follow the procedures in the c-treeRTG User Guide to install, configure, and migrate into c-treeRTG.
custmast.xdd – This is a data definition file to be used with cobol_Tutorial1.cbl.
ctree.conf – This is a sample configuration file.
Sqlize
SQLIZEEXAMPLE.CBL – This tutorial guides you through the process of making your data ready for SQL access. This process, called "sqlizing," prepares your data for full read/write SQL access without affecting access from COBOL applications. This directory includes the supporting files used in this tutorial: CARDFILE.FD, CARDFILE.SL, rules.xml, and Tutorial.sql.
