$CCREPDIR

Have some sort of flag that will identify if the program will use $CCREPDIR directory instead of $CCDIR directory.

The point of this is to be able to force reporting programs to use an alternate copy of the data that will possibly be on a different server/drive. This will help with load balancing (hopefully)

adm directory files should always open in $CCDIR, company directory files should conditionally open in $CCREPDIR

We should ensure that putcont, putbuc and cc_lock return fatal errors if file was opened in $CCREPDIR. However, must always allow putbucs into adm dir.

$CCREPDIR never used for files in adm

If $CCREPDIR is not set, $CCDIR will always be used and no special handling will be invoked.

programs affected

Need to come up with list of rep programs that change data, as by default rep programs will now use $CCREPDIR.

lstr programs should use $CCDIR by default, as for other programs (transaction entry, etc), but salstr and trlstr should probably use the reporting directory ($CCREPDIR).

other programs

We will benefit from having a deamon that tails dblog.dat and copies all changes from $CCDIR to $CCREPDIR for the company/companies specified. This will ensure that updates make it into the reporting company in a timely fashion. This program will also have to be responsible for updating indexes in $CCREPDIR. Ideally this program should be able to be run multiple times against multiple reporting copies.

Where the reporting directory is being used as a "live" backup of data for redundancy and failover, adm and any other directories will need to be copied on a periodic basis also, perhaps by a utility like rsync.
