Abstract
Methods, apparatuses, and systems for file migration in distributed systems. A data structure definition is added to a programming language source code and initialized. Initialization values include contents of a first data file that is external to the source code file. The source code file is compiled with one or more other source code files to create an executable program that includes the initialization values as part of the program's image. During execution, the executable program creates a different second data file external to the executable program by reading the initialization values from the initialized data structure and writing the values to the second data file. This second data file is accessible by a library linked to the executable program.
