Switching transaction modes

It is convenient to occasionally opt not to use full transaction control for performance reasons. For example, during bulk loading data and large batch processes that have well defined rollback states such as a complete data backup before starting.

It is easy to switch FairCom RTG tables into non-transaction mode and back. There are two utilities that can be considered:.

ctutil -tron

cttrnmod

Always remember: if you switch a table to a non-transaction mode, your table is now vulnerable to corruption in the event of a failed system. You should always ensure the table is restored back to full transaction control as soon as possible after usage. ctutil -info and the cttrnmod utility can both report back the current transaction state of a table.
