Some legacy systems maintain large numbers of data files which must be accessed for reporting or auditing. In many cases, these files were scattered across multiple systems, further complicating the process of consolidating their data, especially when different operating systems were involved. System administrators may be accustomed to running a long list of command-line procedures to copy these file to a central location.
FairCom RTG allows you to automate file coping between servers to eliminate lengthy and tedious administrative procedures.
The FairCom RTG file copy API supports physically copying data and index files when the source and destination environments match. In the case of heterogeneous environments, such as different operating systems or endianness, file copy recreates the files record-by-record so operating system and endianness issues are dealt with for you. Administration is greatly simplified when large numbers of files must be moved for backups or reporting.
