Timesten Installation Prerequisites
groupadd ttadmin mkdir /etc/TimesTen
[root@aaarac1 ~]# chown root:ttadmin /etc/TimesTen/ [root@aaarac1 ~]# ls -la /etc/TimesTen/ total 20 drwxr-xr-x 2 root ttadmin 4096 Mar 20 19:10 . drwxr-xr-x 128 root root 12288 Mar 20 19:10 .

Timesten Installation Steps
timesten112220.linux8664.tar.gz gunzip timesten112220.linux8664.tar.gz tar -xvf timesten112220.linux8664
[timesten@aaarac1 ~]$ ls -ltr

drwxr-xr-x 5 timesten ttadmin 4096 Dec 23 21:56 linux8664
-rwxr-xr-x 1 timesten ttadmin 323297280 Mar 20 09:13 timesten112220.linux8664
[timesten@aaarac1 linux8664]$ sh setup.sh
NOTE: Each TimesTen installation is identified by a unique instance name.
The instance name must be a non-null alphanumeric string, not longer
than 255 characters.
Please choose an instance name for this installation? [ tt1122 ]
Instance name will be 'tt1122'.
Is this correct? [ yes ]
Of the three components:
[1] Client/Server and Data Manager
[2] Data Manager Only
[3] Client Only
Which would you like to install? [ 1 ]
Of the following options :
[1] /home/timesten
[2] /home/timesten
[3] Specify a location
[q] Quit the installation
Where would you like to install the tt1122 instance of TimesTen? [ 1 ]
Where would you like to create the daemon home directory? [ /home/timesten/TimesTen/tt1122/info ]
The daemon logs will be located in /home/timesten/TimesTen/tt1122/info
Would you like to specify a different location for the daemon logs? [ no ]
Installing into /home/timesten/TimesTen/tt1122 ...
Uncompressing ...
NOTE: If you are configuring TimesTen for use with Oracle Clusterware, the
daemon port number must be the same across all TimesTen installations
managed within the same Oracle Clusterware cluster.
NOTE: All installations that replicate to each other must use the same daemon
port number that is set at installation time. The daemon port number can
be verified by running 'ttVersion'.
The default port number is 53396.
Do you want to use the default port number for the TimesTen daemon? [ yes ]
The daemon will run on the default port number (53396).
NOTE: For security, we recommend that you restrict access to the
TimesTen installation to members of a single OS group. Only members of
that OS group will be allowed to perform direct mode connections to
TimesTen, and only members of that OS group will be allowed to perform
operations that access TimesTen data stores, TimesTen files and shared
memory. The OS group defaults to the primary group of the instance
administrator. You can default to this group, choose another OS group
or you can make this instance world-accessible. If you choose to make
this instance world-accessible, all database files and shared memory
are readable and writable by all users.
Restrict access to the the TimesTen installation to the group 'ttadmin'? [ yes ]
NOTE: Enabling PL/SQL will increase the size of some TimesTen libraries.
Would you like to enable PL/SQL for this instance? [ yes ]
In order to use the 'In-Memory Database Cache' feature in any databases
created within this installation, you must set a value for the TNS_ADMIN
environment variable. It can be left blank, and a value can be supplied later
using <install_dir>/bin/ttModInstall.
Please enter a value for TNS_ADMIN (s=skip)? [ ] /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/network/admin
TNS_ADMIN will be set to /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/network/admin
You can change TNS_ADMIN later by running <install_dir>/bin/ttmodinstall.
NOTE: It appears that you are running version 4 or higher of the g++
compiler. TimesTen ships with multiple sets of client libraries and server
binaries : one built for compatibility with g++ 3.4.6 and one with
g++ 4.1.0. The installer has created links to the 4.1.0 library in the
<install_dir>/lib directory and to the 4.1.0 server binary in the
<install_dir>/bin directory. If you want to use a different compiler,
please modify the links to point to the desired library and server binary.
Installing server components ...
What is the TCP/IP port number that you want the TimesTen Server to listen on? [ 53397 ]
Do you want to install QuickStart and the TimesTen Documentation? [ no ]
Would you like to install the documentation (without QuickStart)? [ yes ]
Where would you like to create the doc directory (s=skip)? [ /home/timesten/TimesTen/tt1122/doc ] s
Installing client components ...
Would you like to use TimesTen Replication with Oracle Clusterware? [ no ]
NOTE: The TimesTen daemon startup/shutdown scripts have not been installed.
Run the 'setuproot' script :
cd /home/timesten/TimesTen/tt1122/bin
./setuproot -install
This will move the TimesTen startup script into its appropriate location.
The startup script is currently located here :
'/home/timesten/TimesTen/tt1122/startup/tt_tt1122'.
The documentation was not installed.
To manually install the documentation, run the command 'setup.sh -installDoc'
The 11.2.2.2 Release Notes are located here :
'/home/timesten/TimesTen/tt1122/README.html'
Starting the daemon ...
TimesTen Daemon startup OK.
End of TimesTen installation.

[edit] Oracle Timesten Client/Server Architecture
Basically Oracle Timesten use the TCP/IP Protocol for communicate with the Clients.
Where to find the Oracle Timesten Client Driver for Application?
==> Oracle Timesten Client Driver installed with the Oracle Timesten Client Driver Setup.

[edit] Oracle Timesten Setting a PassThrough Level
When an application issues statements on a
Timesten Connection, the statement can be
executed in the Timesten database or passed
through to the oracle database for execution.
You can set the PassThrough connection attribute to
define which statements are to be executed locally in
Timesten and which are to be redirected to Oracle
for execution
PassThrough 0;
PassThrough=0 is the default setting and specifies
that all statements are to be executed in the Timesten
database
PassThrough 1;
Set PassThrough=1 to specify that a statement
that references a table that does not exist in
the Timesten database is passed through to the
Oracle database for execution
No DDL statements are passed through to the
Oracle database
Example
ttisql "DSN=elitecachedb;uid=oratt;pwd=timesten;OraclePwd=oracle;PassThrough=1"
[edit] Managing Timesten Databases
Each timesten database is created when the first connection initiates. The database instance is freed only when all exiting connections have been disconnected. The configuration for the timesten database is contained within the first connection attributes.
Java Application interact with Timesten by loading the JDBC library.
the timesten JDBC driver uses the ODBC driver to access Timesten databases

[edit] Oracle Timesten Cache Grid
A cache grid is a set of distributed TimesTen in-memory databases that work together to cache data from an Oracle database and guarantee cache coherence among the TimesTen databases.
A grid consists of one or more in-memory database grid members that collectively manage the application data using the relational data model.
The members of a grid cache data from a single Oracle database.
A grid member can be either a standalone TimesTen database or an active standby pair.
In a cache grid, cached data is dynamically distributed across multiple grid members without shared storage.
There are two categories of cache groups. A local cache group contains data that is local to it's cache database, the data is not shared by other members in a cache grid. A global cache group contains data that is globally shared by the other grid members, it ensures cache consistency across cache databases participating in the cache grid.
A TimesTen cache grid consists of one or more grid members; each grid member is backed by a TimesTen in-memory database. This section describes how to expand your cache grid by adding additional cache databases with the growth of the processing capacity. Though not required , a grid member's cache database typically runs in a different machine from other grid members.
Grid members can be added and removed on-line while the application is active.
