ctinfo - ISAM File Info

Operational Model:

  • Client
  • Standalone

Usage:

ctinfo FileName [-isam] [-rdkeys] [<UserId> [<UserPassword> [<ServerName>]]]

Description

ctinfo retrieves IFIL and DODA structures from a FairCom DB file as well as XCREblk extended header information if available. This utility is useful in both client-server and standalone mode.

  • -isam - Open the specified data file in ISAM mode (V10.3 and later). See below.
  • -rdkeys - If this option is enabled, ctinfo opens the data file and associated indexes at the ISAM level instead of performing a low-level open, which avoids FRSKEY error: 26. Without this option, ctinfo does not cause FairCom Server to log replication diagnostics; an ISAM level file open used by -rdkeys will cause the details to be logged

    Note: The ISAM open requires the index files to exist and to be accessible, unlike the low-level open which requires only the data file to exist.

Authentication File

This utility supports the use of an encrypted password file. Encrypted password files keep user IDs and passwords from plain view when the utility is used within a script file. They are created with the ctcmdset utility. The plain text form of the file should be:

; User Id
USERID ADMIN
; User Password
PASSWD <pass>

Use the -1 option to specify the name of the encrypted file. Use the -a option to specify the name of the encrypted file.

Index Compression Modes

The file information utility, ctinfo, displays index compression modes as included in the key type when displaying index information.

Example

IIDX #2 {

/* key length */ 4,

/* key type */ 2048, (0x0800 = KTYP_KEYCOMPSRLE)

/* duplicate flag */ 0,

/* null key flag */ 0,

/* empty character */ 0,

/* number of segments */ 1,

/* r-tree symbolic index */ cm_custnumb_idx,

/* alternate index name */ 0000000000000000,

/* alternate collating seq */ 0000000000000000,

/* alternate pad byte */ 0000000000000000,

};

Output

In V10.3 and later, the ctinfo -isam option causes the utility to open the specified data file in ISAM mode. This option is useful for checking if a REPLICATE keyword enables replication for the file.

In V11 and later, the ctinfo utility outputs the header record for fixed-length files or the header key count for each logical index. For example:


Header Count

4776 keys in index 0

4776 keys in index 1

4776 keys in index 2

c-tree Plus(R) IFIL and DODA Extraction Utility.

This utility extracts file and field information from the file you

specify and displays that information. If the required IFIL and DODA

resources are present, the data file should work with the FairCom

Drivers. The ODBC interface requires detailed information about the

relationship between data and index files and the layout of records

within a data file. This information is stored in the IFIL and DODA.

..\admin_custmast.dat is a variable-length data file.

Data record length = 40

Logical file size = 19802

Physical file size = 32768

File mode = 0x34 = VLENGTH TRNLOG

Schema ID = 0

Conditional Index Resource Details:

File does not have a conditional index resource.

Extended File Mode Details:

ctFRC2HDRS : file has extended header

ctTRANDEP : file is transaction-dependent

ctFILEPOS8 : file uses 8-byte file offsets

ctFILCRECHKmd3 : file created and no subsequent checkpoint

Extended File Creation Block:

extended file mode : 0x40000052

segment file size : 0

max total file size : 0

1st file extent size : 0

file extent size : 0

max # of segments : 1

disk full threshold : 0

File Definition Mask Details:

DEF_MASK_IFIL2 : extended IFIL structures

DEF_MASK_SPCMGT : unambiguous superfile space management

DEF_MASK_PSCL24 : complete Pascal string def

DEF_MASK_XTDPRM : extended permission mask

DEF_MASK_UNIACS : UNIFRMAT alt col seq in IFIL

DEF_MASK_HUGEFL : ctHUGEFILE enabled

DEF_MASK_HDRSZ4 : V7 HDRSIZ: 4 * 128

DEF_MASK_PARTIN : partition files
