FairCom RTG BTRV Edition includes a specific version of the well-known FairCom DB database engine, called FairCom RTG, which integrates server-side logic to implement many of the product requirements.
The server must be installed as described in this section, FairCom RTG Server Setup.
The server must be configured as described in FairCom RTG Configuration.
Note: FairCom RTG V3 is based on the latest version of the powerful FairCom Server. The version numbers returned from utilities may reflect the underlying core version number of this server, which is currently V12.
Once the FairCom RTG BTRV Edition driver and the FairCom RTG Server have been installed and configured, FairCom RTG BTRV Edition should be transparent to your application. Your application should operate the same as it has prior to installing FairCom RTG BTRV Edition.
The FairCom RTG installer for Windows creates a Microsoft Windows service that automatically starts the database engine at Windows startup. This allows for seamless and unattended operation. Use the standard Windows service control panels to start/stop and configure various service options.
VSS Backup - FairCom RTG for Windows supports the Windows Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) Writer for backups. This support is supplied as a dynamic link library (c-treeACEVSSWriter.dll) that allows Windows VSS Backup to be used. See VSS Integration in the Technical White Papers on the FairCom website.
The FairCom RTG tar archive for Unix/Linux contains a ready-to-run FairCom DB database engine:
cd /FairCom/Vx.x.x.RTG/<platform>/server/
./ctreesql
Feel free to include it along with your /etc/init.d startup scripts for fully unattended operation. Consult your local system administrator for details about specific machine configurations.
Note: The FairCom RTG server (a specialized version of FairCom DB) is configured separately from the FairCom RTG client. Client configuration is discussed in the next section, FairCom RTG Configuration.
For information about configuring the FairCom RTG Client, see the FairCom RTG Configuration chapter in this manual. |
For information about configuring the FairCom RTG Server, refer to the Configuring the FairCom DB Server chapter of the FairCom DB Server Administrator's Guide. |
The FairCom RTG Server has a multitude of options for configuring many of the various database subsystems including:
Unless otherwise instructed, the FairCom RTG Server starts with default settings for all configurable parameters. The FairCom RTG Server takes configuration instructions from a configuration file, ctsrvr.cfg, placed in the FairCom RTG Server directory. When the FairCom RTG Server finds a ctsrvr.cfg file, it uses all the specified configuration values.
FairCom RTG is delivered with appropriate settings for the server. If you want to change these settings, the ctsrvr.cfg file can be edited using the FairCom DB Config Manager, located in: FairCom\vX.X.X.RTG\<win*>\Tools\gui\c-treeConfigManager.exe (where FairCom\vX.X.X.RTG\<win*>\ is the installation directory) for Windows installations, or simply edit this file using any text editor on Unix/Linux systems.
