Oracle Audio Technologies B31679-01 manual Working with the TimesTen daemon and server

Working with the TimesTen daemon and server

The TimesTen daemon starts automatically when the operating system is booted and operates continually in the background. Application developers do not interact with timestend directly; no application code runs in the daemon and application developers do not, in general, have to be concerned with it. Application programs that use TimesTen data stores communicate with the daemon transparently by using TimesTen internal routines.

There are situations, however, when you may have to start and stop the daemon manually, using the TimesTen main daemon startup script. This section explains how to start and stop the daemon. If you have installed the TimesTen Server, it starts automatically when the TimesTen daemon is started and stops automatically when the TimesTen daemon is stopped.

Note: You must have root privileges or be the TimesTen instance administrator to interact with the TimesTen daemon.

To stop the daemon manually, use the utility command:

ttDaemonAdmin -stop

To start the daemon manually, use the utility command:

ttDaemonAdmin -start

To determine the status of the daemon at any time, use the ttStatus utility.

Uninstalling TimesTen

To uninstall TimesTen, follow these steps:

1.Log in as the TimesTen instance administrator if installing as non-root, or log in as user root.

2.The TimesTen setup script is in the install_dir/bin directory. Run the script with the -uninstalloption in a directory outside of the installation directory:

# install_dir/bin/setup.sh -uninstall

Uninstalling the system removes all TimesTen libraries and executables and also stops and uninstalls the daemon. You can execute ps to verify that all TimesTen processes have terminated. To verify that TimesTen has been successfully uninstalled, check to see that the install_dir no longer exists.
