Performing an offline upgrade

You can do an offline upgrade by exporting the data store into an external file using either the ttMigrate or ttBackup utility, then restoring the data store with the desired changes. These update procedures require that all applications be disconnected from the data store and that the data store be unloaded from shared memory. For applications that require continuous availability, see “Performing an online upgrade with replication” on page 104.

Note: If the data store to be upgraded is replicated, you must use ttMigrate to move the data store between versions. In addition if you rename table owners using the ttMigrate -r-renameoption, you need to also rename the table owners in every other data store involved in the replication scheme.

When exporting a TimesTen data store, you can use either the ttMigrate or ttBackup utility. The ttMigrate utility exports the data store in a release-neutral format that is more flexible, while the ttBackup utility exports an image copy of the data store and is faster. The ttBackup utility may be used if you wish to move the data store to a different machine or directory. The ttMigrate utility must be used if you wish to:

move to a new major or patch release of TimesTen.

reduce data store size.

move between 32-bit and 64-bit data stores.

The general steps in an offline upgrade include:

Disconnect all applications from the data store and unload the data store from memory. (See “Unloading a data store” on page 95.)

Use either ttMigrate with the -cand -noRepUpgradeoptions or ttBackup to back up the data store.

Install the new release of TimesTen. (See Chapter 2, “TimesTen Installation.”)

Use either ttMigrate with the -rand -noRepUpgradeoptions or ttRestore to restore the backed up data store to the new TimesTen release.

Reconnect applications to the upgraded data store.

Another notable characteristic of the B31679-01 is its precision-engineered tonearm. The tonearm is designed for optimal tracking, ensuring that the stylus maintains contact with the record groove, capturing every nuance of the music. By minimizing tracking error and optimizing weight distribution, the tonearm enhances overall soundstage and detail, allowing audiophiles to rediscover their vinyl collection with newfound appreciation.

In terms of motor technology, the Oracle B31679-01 features a high-torque, low-noise motor that provides reliable and consistent speed. This is crucial for vinyl playback, as variations in speed can lead to pitch inaccuracies and a less enjoyable listening experience. The motor's design is engineered to operate quietly, ensuring that no unwanted noise enters the audio signal.

The Oracle B31679-01 also stands out with its customizable features, allowing users to tailor their experience to their personal taste. From cartridge compatibility to adjustable settings, the turntable accommodates a wide range of preferences, making it a versatile choice for both casual listeners and serious audiophiles.

In summary, the Oracle B31679-01 combines advanced engineering, premium materials, and innovative technologies to create a turntable that excels in sound quality and performance.
