When the FD does not explicitly define a record size (using COBOL-specific syntax), xddgen determines the minimum and maximum record length by looking at the minimum and maximum record size of the various records layouts (level 01).
When COBOL does not specify a record length, the record is always fixed-length, but the records layout may have different sizes and so the generated XDD have different minimum and maximum lengths, which then (depending on how these are set) fail the check against the physical file record length causing a 4110 error (CALLBACK_2).
The logic has been changed so that, if the record length is not specified, it considers the record as fixed-length and uses the first record definition length as the "base length." It then checks each record size against the specified or calculated record minimum and maximum lengths and prints a warning if its size is outside of the expected range.
The XDD will be generated using the minimum and the maximum record lengths found in the various record definitions (schemas) as it always was.
If the XDD is going to generate information with different minimum and maximum record lengths (thus implying a vlen file) but the COBOL source did not specify the record as variable length, a warning message is printed. It is recommended to modify the COBOL source to resolve these warnings.
It was also identified that the size of COMP-4 for default AcuCobol configuration was not correct. The "binary-size" has been updated to the proper setting of "2-4-8" in acu.conf and acu-Ds.conf.

FairCom RTG now supports the FairCom Standalone operational model. This differs from the default client/server model by not using the FairCom RTG Database Server (faircom.exe, or ctreesql.exe in versions prior to V3). By not going through the FairCom RTG Database Server, the database I/O can at times be faster, typically when there is only a single instance performing database I/O. If you are using multiple versions of ctmigra to migrate several files at the same time, then we don’t recommend using the Standalone model.
ctmigra --local=LIBRARY Option
The new ctmigra option --local=LIBRARY allows setting the FairCom RTG Standalone library where library is a FairCom RTG Standalone library.
The --local switch instructs ctmigra to work in the Standalone operational model. When this switch is set, the following switches are all disabled:
-n (or -N) used for specifying the FairCom RTG Server name
-u (or -U) for specifying the user ID
-p (or -P) used for specifying the user ID password
ctmigra --local-sect Option
This modification introduces a new option in ctmigra to set the number of node sectors when using the option --local. The new option is --local-sect=SECT where SECT is the number of node sectors to use in the <localinstance sect> attribute of the ctmigra auto-generated FairCom RTG configuration file.
The option --local-sect is indicated when the file migrated by the local engine (ctmigra option --local) will be open by a c-tree Server configured with a PAGE_SIZE set to a higher value then the default 8192 (8KB).
If --local-sect is not specified, the default value of <localinstance sect> is used, which is 64 resulting in a node of 8192 bytes (64 * 128 bytes) matching the default PAGE_SIZE of the c-tree Server.
If, for example, the c-tree Server has a PAGE_SIZE of 32768, the ctmigra --local command should also include --local-sect=256 so the local engine will create files that can be open by c-tree Server.
When this option is set, the following are all disabled:
The option --local-sect=SECT where SECT is the number of node sectors can be used to specify the node size used to create the c-tree file.
The number of node sectors to use when performing data migration is important to ensure the data file created during the ctmigra process are of the same PAGE_SIZE being used by the FairCom RTG Server. The SECT setting provides a dynamic method for setting the matching FairCom RTG Server PAGE_SIZE setting. Note this equation: SECT*128 bytes = PAGE_SIZE. The default PAGE_SIZE for FairCom RTG V3 is now 32,768, therefore the default SECT value is 256. Here are SECT values for setting the more common PAGE_SIZE settings:
SECT |
PAGE_SIZE |
|
|---|---|---|
64 |
8192 |
Default FairCom RTG < V3 |
128 |
16384 |
|
256 |
32768 |
Default FairCom RTG V3 |
512 |
65536 |
|
If --local-sect is not specified, the default value of <localinstance sect> is used, which is 256 for V3, and 64 for FairCom RTG versions prior to V3.
If, for example, the c-tree Server has a PAGE_SIZE of 16384, the ctmigra --local command should also include --local-sect=128 so the local engine will create files that can be opened by c-tree Server.

The attributes bufs and dbufs allow setting c-tree standalone index and data number of cache buffers respectively. The maximum acceptable value is 32,767.
The sect attributes set the table node size (which should match the server PAGE_SIZE). The maximum is 512.
