C-tree BoundServer (c-tree Server DLL) is, basically, a c-tree server that starts along (embedded) with Protheus Server. We recommend its use in environments in which only one Protheus Server is used as application server, in which the access to dictionaries is not shared with other Protheus servers. You can configure it to load dictionary files (SXs) in the memory, making the access faster.

See below reference links of C-tree BoundServer documentation with technical information:

Below the procedure showing how to configure the file appserver.ini and ctsrvr.cfg (of the folder Appserver) to use the C-Tree Bound Server with memory files:

- Copy the root folder of the load balance, with the folders "Appserver" of Master and Slaves

- See an example of configuration of files:

About the files configuration:
- In the appserver.ini file of the Master, in the section [General], the row CtreeMode must be =boundServer, then in the appserver.ini of

Appserver.ini:

[CtreeServerMaster]

Information to connect to CTREE SERVER MASTER:

ctUserId=ADMIN -> Row not required. The value "ADMIN" is Default.

ctUserPass=ADMIN -> Row not required. The value "ADMIN" is Default.

ctServerName=FAIRCOMS@localhost -> Name the main Ctree Server server (not embedded). The first part before the @ indicates the name of the server, defined in the row SERVER_NAME of the file ctsrvr.cfg do CtreeServer, while the second part, after the @, indicates the IP address of the server where this CtreeServer is.

Information to connect to CTREE BOUND SERVER:

memctUserId=ADMIN -> Row not required. The value "ADMIN" is Default.

memctUserPass=ADMIN -> Row not required. The value "ADMIN" is Default.

memctServerName=boundServer@localhost -> Name of the Ctree Bound Server server (embedded). The first part before the @ indicates the name of the server, defined in the row SERVER_NAME of the file ctsrvr.cfg do CtreeServer, which is in the folder Appserver, while the second part, after the @, indicates the IP address of the server where this Ctree Bound Server is.

Environments=P12 -> List of environments using the C-Tree Bound Server with files in memory. This key informs which environments of the server are checked, during the preparation of the environment of the process (Thread) of notification, to search files specified in the FILES configuration. You can only indicate for notification, environments using CTREE for the control of ISAM(SXS) tables.

Files=sx3990.dtc,sx5*.dtc,sx6??0.dtc,sx7*.dtc -> Files to be used in memory. You can specify one or more files, separated by comma, with absolute paths in disk, related to ROOTPATH of the environment, or only the name of the file found from STARTPATH of the environment. Use characters of the mask "*" and "?".

ShowStatus=1 -> Displays messages of Ctree notification information. It can be 0 or 1. Default is o.
