The FairCom RTG products provide several utilities that you will need. These utilities are located in the same directory as the sample programs.
Utilities for data migration:
ctmigra - Migrates data into FairCom RTG applications by reading records from an external database and writing them to FairCom RTG files. Located in tools\cmdline under your FairCom RTG installation directory.
RTG Migrate, - This GUI-based migration utility can be found in tools/guitools.java.
Other common utilities are available for various FairCom RTG tasks are located in tools\cmdline under your FairCom RTG installation directory:
ctutil - A general purpose FairCom RTG file maintenance utility. Use ctutil to examine files, extract data records, change maximum record sizes, and rebuild corrupted indexes. Much of ctutil's functionality is comparable to Vision's vutil utility for a familiar feel, however, many additional FairCom RTG extensions and features have been added.
A pre-configured version of ctutil is provided with each compiler FairCom RTG supports. They are found in Driver/ctree.cobol/<flavor> folder.
ctcbtran - When ctutil is renamed ctcbtran, it functions as an ad-hoc utility to turn on/off transaction processing. Review the ctutil-tron option for details.
xddgen - Generates FairCom RTG XDD files directly from COBOL source code. This feature is especially useful when native COBOL XFD files are not available, or you need advanced handling of COBOL table structures.
Find xddgen in Tools\cmdline\XDDGEN of your FairCom RTG installation.
FairCom RTG also includes a set of graphical utilities, such as the migration and configuration tools described elsewhere in this book. For descriptions of the other graphical utilities, see the help files included with the tools or FairCom GUI Tools on the website.

FairCom RTG includes a large set of command-line utilities in the tools\cmdline directory of your FairCom RTG installation. For complete descriptions of these utilities, see the Command-Line Tools book on the FairCom website.
