Performing an online upgrade with replication

In “Performing an offline upgrade” on page 97 we showed how to perform various maintenance operations on TimesTen data stores that require that all applications be stopped. This section describes how to use the TimesTen replication feature to perform online upgrades for applications that require continuous data availability. You can do an online upgrade when moving between major TimesTen releases. If moving to a patch release, you may instead perform an in-place or offline upgrade.

Normally, applications that require high availability of their data use TimesTen replication to keep at least one extra copy of their data stores up to date. An online upgrade works by keeping one these two copies available to the application while the other is being upgraded and is unavailable to the application. The procedures described in this section assume that you have a bi-directional replication scheme configured and running for two data stores, as described in the TimesTen to TimesTen Replication Guide.

Note: Replication functions across releases only if the data store of the more recent version of TimesTen was upgraded from a data store of the older version of TimesTen. A data store created in the more recent version of TimesTen is not guaranteed to replicate correctly with the older version. For example, replication between a data store created in the 5.1 version of TimesTen and a data store created in the 7.0 version of TimesTen is not supported. However, if one data store was created in the

5.1version, and the peer data store was created in the 5.1 version and then upgraded to the 7.0 version, replication between them is supported.

Note: For security reasons, replication is not normally allowed between TimesTen 7.0 and previous versions. In order to perform an online upgrade with replication, you must start the main TimesTen 7.0 daemon with the -insecure-backwards-compat option. See “Communicating with older versions of TimesTen” on page 71 of the Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database Operations Guide for more information.

Overview

Upgrading a data store from an older TimesTen release to a newer release is performed by disconnecting all applications from one of two replicated copies of a data store, making a backup of the data store with ttMigrate from the older release, loading the backup into a newer

Oracle Audio Technologies B31679-01 manual Performing an online upgrade with replication, Overview

B31679-01 specifications

Oracle Audio Technologies has long been known for its commitment to high-end audio equipment that delivers superb sound quality and innovative design. One standout product from the company is the Oracle B31679-01, a remarkable turntable that showcases their expertise in the audio domain.

The B31679-01 embodies advanced engineering principles and a passion for music reproduction. At the heart of its design is a highly rigid yet lightweight chassis that minimizes vibrations, ensuring that the audio signal remains pure and uncolored. This attention to vibration isolation is critical, as even the slightest interference can compromise the clarity and fidelity of the sound. The turntable is constructed using premium materials that enhance performance and aesthetic appeal, adding an element of sophistication to any audio setup.

One of the key features of the Oracle B31679-01 is its sophisticated suspension system. The innovative suspension technology helps decouple the turntable from external vibrations and resonances, creating a stable platform for vinyl playback. This is particularly important in environments with background noise or potential disturbances, allowing users to experience their music as intended.

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. Its focus on vibration isolation, precise tonearm design, reliable motor operation, and customization options make it a distinguished choice for those seeking an exceptional vinyl experience. Oracle Audio Technologies continues to set high standards in the audio industry, and the B31679-01 is a testament to their dedication and expertise.
