Preface

Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database is a memory-optimized relational database. Deployed in the application tier, Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database operates on databases that fit entirely in physical memory using standard SQL interfaces. High availability for the in-memory database is provided through real-time transactional replication.

Audience

This guide provides a reference of all TimesTen error messages and information on SNMP traps.

This document is intended for readers with a basic understanding of database systems.

Conventions

TimesTen supports multiple platforms. Unless otherwise indicated, the information in this guide applies to all supported platforms. The term Windows refers to all supported Windows platforms and the term UNIX applies to all supported UNIX platforms, including Linux. See "Platforms" in Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database Release Notes for specific platform versions supported by TimesTen.

Note:

In TimesTen documentation, the terms "data store" and "database" are equivalent. Both terms refer to the TimesTen database unless otherwise noted.

This document uses the following text conventions:

Convention	Meaning
boldface	Boldface type indicates graphical user interface elements associated with an action, or terms defined in text or the glossary.
italic	Italic type indicates book titles, emphasis, or placeholder variables for which you supply particular values.
`monospace`	Monospace type indicates commands within a paragraph, URLs, code in examples, text that appears on the screen, or text that you enter.
`italic monospace`	Italic monospace type indicates a variable in a code example that you must replace. For example: `Driver=install_dir/lib/libtten.sl` Replace `install_dir` with the path of your TimesTen installation directory.
[ ]	Square brackets indicate that an item in a command line is optional.
{ }	Curly braces indicated that you must choose one of the items separated by a vertical bar ( \| ) in a command line.
\|	A vertical bar (or pipe) separates arguments that you may use more than one argument on a single command line.
. . .	An ellipsis (. . .) after an argument indicates that you may use more than one argument on a single command line.
%	The percent sign indicates the UNIX shell prompt.
#	The number (or pound) sign indicates the UNIX root prompt.

TimesTen documentation uses these variables to identify path, file and user names:

Convention	Meaning
`install_dir`	The path that represents the directory where the current release of TimesTen is installed.
`TTinstance`	The instance name for your specific installation of TimesTen. Each installation of TimesTen must be identified at install time with a unique alphanumeric instance name. This name appears in the install path.
`bits` or `bb`	Two digits, either 32 or 64, that represent either the 32-bit or 64-bit operating system.
`release` or `rr`	The first three parts in a release number, with or without dots. The first three parts of a release number represent a major TimesTen release. For example, 1122 or 11.2.2 represents TimesTen 11g Release 2 (11.2.2).
`jdk_version`	Two digits that represent the version number of the major JDK release. Specifically, 14 represent JDK 1.4; 5 represents JDK 5.
`timesten`	A sample name for the TimesTen instance administrator. You can use any legal user name as the TimesTen administrator. On Windows, the TimesTen instance administrator must be a member of the Administrators group. Each TimesTen instance can have a unique instance administrator name.
