FairCom RTG Servers can now open and concurrently process up to one million files. Extending file numbering to a 32-bit value allowed this huge increase from 32,767. (We limited this support to 1,000,000 for practical reasons. A million files is a lot of files. Contact FairCom if you find a need for more.)
This allows FairCom RTG to be used in large-scale applications or in multi-tenant environments where a single FairCom RTG server can support hundreds of customers and applications with up to a total of 1 million open files per server. No changes are needed to take advantage of this new support, except for upgrading to V3 or later.
FairCom RTG clients remain limited to 32,767 files per connection, allowing compatibility with existing FairCom RTG clients. If an operation returns a file number out of this range, it fails and logs FairCom RTG error 3, "ERROR 3:0:0 too many files."
