Installing TimesTen on Windows systems

This section discusses installation and related issues for Windows systems. For a list of Windows platforms supported by TimesTen, see “Platforms and configurations” on page 19.

Note: Before beginning installation, be sure that the prerequisites defined in “Installation prerequisites” on page 25 have been met.

Installing TimesTen

An InstallShield program installs your TimesTen instance on Windows systems. The TimesTen CD-ROM is configured to autoplay; the installation program is automatically invoked when the CD-ROM is inserted into the CD-ROM drive.

To install TimesTen manually, insert the CD, then run the command:

D:\WINDOWS\SETUP.EXE

where D: is the CD-ROM drive.

Note: Each time SETUP.EXE is executed, the install program checks for previous installations. If a previous version of TimesTen exists, the setup program starts in Maintenance Mode, which allows you to uninstall or repair the existing TimesTen product. In order to do a install a new version of TimesTen where the first and second version number (e.g. 6.1.2 and 6.1.5) match, you must first uninstall TimesTen in Maintenance Mode and then run SETUP.EXE again.

The TimesTen installation prompts you to make these choices at installation time:

•Which component would you like to install?

See “Components available on Windows” on page 24.

•Do you want to install the Cache Connect to Oracle option?

If you intend to cache Oracle data in a TimesTen cache group, select this option. You can incrementally install this option at a later time, as well, using the Modify option to the installation script when the major and minor release numbers of the TimesTen installation match exactly.

•Do you want to enable Access Control?
