3 Utilities

Description

Enables you to:

• Specify policies to automatically or manually load and unload databases from RAM.

• Specify policies to automatically or manually start and stop replication agents for specified databases.

• Start and stop TimesTen cache agents for caching data from Oracle database tables. The cache agent is a process that handles Oracle database access on behalf of a TimesTen database. It also handles the aging and autorefresh of the cache groups in the TimesTen database. Before using any cache features, you must start the cache agent. Cache options require that you specify a value for the OracleNetServiceName in the DSN.

Required privilege

This utility requires no privileges to query the database.

Replication options require the ADMIN privilege.

Cache options require the CACHE_MANAGER privilege.

All other options require the ADMIN privilege.

Options

ttAdmin has the options:

Examples

Some very performance sensitive applications use a database referred to by DSN SalesData. So that applications do not have to wait for the database to be loaded from disk into RAM, this database must always remain in RAM. To keep the database in memory, use:

ttAdmin -ramPolicy always SalesData

The SalesData database is normally always resident in RAM. However, it is not being used at all today and should be loaded only when applications are connected to it. To change the RAM policy, use:

ttAdmin -ramPolicy inUse SalesData

To manually control whether the SalesData database is loaded into RAM and to load it now, use the following.

ttAdmin -ramPolicy manual -ramLoad SalesData

To manually unload the SalesData database from RAM, thus preventing any new applications from connecting to the database, use:

ttAdmin -ramPolicy manual -ramUnload SalesData

A database referred to by DSN History is not always in use. Permanently loading it into RAM unnecessarily uses memory. This database is idle for long periods, but when it is in use multiple users connect to it in rapid succession. To improve performance, it may be best to keep the database in RAM when applications are connected to it and to keep it in RAM for 5 minutes (300 seconds) after the last user disconnects. With this RAM policy, the database remains in RAM if applications are connected to the database. To set this policy, use:

ttAdmin -ramPolicy inUse -ramGrace 300 History

A database referred to by DSN SalesData contains data cached from an Oracle database. Use the following ttAdmin command to start the cache agent for the SalesData DSN:

ttAdmin -cacheStart SalesData

You can also use the -cachePolicy option to ask the TimesTen data manager daemon to start the cache agent every time the data manager itself is started. Use:

ttAdmin -cachePolicy always SalesData

To turn off the automatic start of cache agent, use:

ttAdmin -cachePolicy manual SalesData

To set the cache administration user ID and password, you can use the -cacheUidPwdSet flag with the -cacheUid and -cachePwd options. For example, if the cache administration user ID and password on the database SalesData should be scott and tiger respectively, use:

ttAdmin -cacheUidPwdSet -cacheUid scott -cachPwd tiger SalesData

To get the current cache administration user ID for the SalesData DSN, use:

ttAdmin -cacheUidGet SalesData

ttAdmin displays the following output:

Cache User Id: scott
RAM Residence Policy: inUse
Replication Agent Policy: manual
Replication Manually Started: False
Cache Agent Policy: manual
Cache Agent Manually Started: False

Notes

If TimesTen is installed as a user instance, and the user attempts to start the cache agent for a database with a relative path, TimesTen looks for the database relative to where it is running, and fails. Therefore, a relative path should not be used in this scenario. For example, on Windows, if you have specified the path for the database as DataStore=./dsn1 and attempt to start the cache agent with the command ttAdmin -cacheStart dsn1, the cache agent does not start because it looks for the database in install_dir\srv\dsn1. For UNIX it looks in a directory in /var/TimesTen/instance/.

When using autorefresh (automatic propagation from an Oracle database to a TimesTen database) or asynchronous writethrough cache groups, you must specify the cache administration user ID and password. This user account performs autorefresh and asynchronous writethrough operations.

To load data from an Oracle database, the TimesTen cache agent must be running. This requires that the ORACLE_HOME environment variable be set to the path of the Oracle installation. See the Oracle TimesTen Application-Tier Database Cache User's Guide for more details. For details on other environment variables that you may want to set, see "Environment variables" in Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database Installation Guide.

This utility is supported only for TimesTen Data Manager DSNs. It is not supported for TimesTen Client DSNs.

If ttAdmin is used with -repStart and it does not find a replication definition, the replication agent is not started and ttAdmin prints out an error message. For example:

$ ttAdmin -repstart repl1
*** [TimesTen][TimesTen 11.2.2.0.0 ODBC Driver][TimesTen]TT8191: 
This store (repl1 on my_host) is not involved in a replication scheme -- 
file "eeProc.c", lineno 11016, procedure "RepAdmin()"
*** ODBC Error = S1000, TimesTen Error = 8191

If ttAdmin is used with the -ramPolicy always option, a persistent system connection is created on the database.

The only -ramPolicy value supported for temporary databases is the -ramPolicy manual option with the -ramLoad option specified at the same time.

If ttAdmin is used with -repPolicy manual (the default) or -repPolicy always, then the -ramPolicy always option should also be used. This ensures that the replication agent begins recovery after a failure as quickly as possible.

Description

On UNIX systems, use this utility to move databases from a TimesTen instance to a new TimesTen instance that is of the same major release, but of a different minor release. For example, you can move files from TimesTen 11.2.2.5.0 to TimesTen 11.2.2.6.0.

This utility is useful for testing a minor release of Times with an existing database. You can install the new release of TimesTen and move one or more databases to the new release without uninstalling the old TimesTen release.

You must run the ttAdoptStores utility from the destination instance.

Required privilege

This utility must be run by the TimesTen instance administrator. The instance administrator must be the same user for both the old and new TimesTen instance.

Syntax

ttadoptstores {-h | -help | -?}
ttadoptstores {-V | -version}
ttadoptstores [-quiet] -dspath path
ttadoptstores [-quiet] -instpath path

Options

ttAdoptStores has the options:

Examples

To adopt the database /my/data/stores/ds, use:

ttadoptstores -dspath /my/data/stores/ds

To adopt all the databases in the directory /opt/TimesTen/ instance1, use:

ttadoptstores -instpath /opt/TimesTen/instance1

Notes

You cannot adopt temporary databases.

If an instance being adopted is part of a replication scheme, port numbers must match on each side of the replication scheme, unless a port number was specified as the value of the -remoteDaemonPort option during a ttRepAdmin -duplicate operation. Generally, all instances involved in the replication scheme must be updated at the same time.

This utility does not copy any sys.odbc.ini entries. You must move these files manually.

Description

Creates a backup copy of a database that can be restored at a later time using the ttRestore utility. For an overview of the TimesTen backup and restore facility, see "Migration, Backup, and Restoration" in Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database Installation Guide.

Required privilege

This utility requires the ADMIN privilege.

If authentication information is not supplied in the connection string or DSN, this utility prompts for a user ID and password before continuing.

Syntax

ttBackup {-h | -help | -?}
ttBackup {-V | -version}
ttBackup -dir directory [-type backupType]
[-fname fileprefix] [-force]
{-connStr connection_string | DSN} 

Options

ttBackup has the options:

Examples

To perform a full file backup of the FastIns database to the backup directory in/users/pat/TimesTen/backups, use:

ttBackup -type fileFullEnable -dir /users/pat/TimesTen/backups FastIns

To copy the FastIns database to the file FastIns.back, use:

ttBackup -type streamFull FastIns > FastIns.back

On UNIX, to save the FastIns database to a backup tape, use:

ttBackup -type streamFull FastIns | dd bs=64k of=/dev/rmt0

To back up a database named origDSN to the directory /users/rob/tmp and restore it to the database named restoredDSN, use:

ttBackup -type fileFull -dir /users/rob/tmp -fname restored origDSN
ttRestore -dir /users/rob/tmp -fname restored restoredDSN

Notes

The ttBackup utility and the ttRestore utility backup and restore databases only when the first three numbers of the TimesTen release and the platform are the same. For example, you can backup and restore files between TimesTen releases 11.2.2.2.0 and 11.2.2.6.0. You cannot backup and restore files between releases 11.2.1.9.0 and 11.2.2.6.0. You can use the ttBulkcp or CS (UNIX only) utility to migrate databases across major releases or operating systems. You can use ttMigrate together with ttMigrateCS (client server version of ttMigrate) to migrate databases between 32- and 64-bit platforms or bit levels. You must use the -relaxedUpgrade option when restoring data on a new bit-level. In the case of changing bit-levels, the database cannot be involved in a replication scheme. Follow the examples in "Moving a database between 32-bit and 64-bit platforms" in the Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database Installation Guide.

When an incremental backup has been enabled, TimesTen creates a backup hold in the transaction log file. Call the ttLogHolds built-in procedure to see information about this hold. The backup hold determines which log records should be backed up upon subsequent incremental backups. Only changes since the last incremental backup are updated. A side effect to creating the backup hold is that it prevents transaction log files from being purged upon a checkpoint operation until the hold is advanced by performing another incremental backup or removed by disabling incremental backups.

Transactions that commit after the start of the backup operation are not reflected in the backup.

Up to one checkpoint and one backup may be active at the same time, with these limitations:

• A backup never needs to wait for a checkpoint to complete.

• A backup may need to wait for another backup to complete.

• A checkpoint may need to wait for a backup to complete.

Databases containing cache groups can be backed up as normal with the ttBackup utility. However, when restoring such a backup, special consideration is required as the restored data within the cache groups may be out of date or out of sync with the data in the back end Oracle database. See the section on "Backing up and restoring a database with cache groups" in the Oracle TimesTen Application-Tier Database Cache User's Guide for details.

You cannot back up temporary databases.

Description

Copies data between TimesTen tables and ASCII files. ttBulkCp has two modes:

• In copy-in mode (ttBulkCp -i), rows are copied into an existing TimesTen table from one or more ASCII files (or stdin).

• In copy-out mode (ttBulkCp -o), an entire TimesTen table is copied to a single ASCII output file (or stdout).

On UNIX, this utility is supported for TimesTen Data Manager DSNs. For Client DSNs, use the utility ttBulkCpCS.This utility only copies out the objects owned by the user executing the utility, and those objects for which the owner has SELECT privileges. If the owner executing the utility has the ADMIN privilege, ttBulkCp copies out all objects.

Required privilege

This utility requires the INSERT privilege on the tables it copies information into. It requires the SELECT privilege on the tables it copies information from.

If authentication information is not supplied in the connection string or DSN, this utility prompts for a user ID and password before continuing.

Syntax

ttBulkCp {-h | -help | -? | -helpfull}

ttBulkCp {-V | -version}

ttBulkCp -i [-cp numTrans | final] [-d errLevel] 
[-e errorFile] [-m maxErrs] [-sc] [-t errLevel]

[-N ncharEncoding] [-noForceSerializable | -forceSerializable]
[-tsprec precision] [-Q 0|1] 
{-connStr connection_string | DSN} [owner.]tblName 
[dataFile]

Options

ttBulkCp has the options:

Use the following options in copy-out (-o) mode only. You must have SELECT privileges on the specified tables.

Warning: This output was produced using a
non-serializable isolation level. It may therefore not
reflect a transaction-consistent state of the table.

Use the following options in copy-in (-i) mode only. You must have INSERT privileges on the specified tables.

Data file format

This section describes the format the dataFile parameter.

Each line of a ttBulkCp input file is either a blank line, a comment line, an attribute line or a data line.

• Blank lines are lines with no characters at all, including whitespace characters (space and tab). Blank lines are ignored by ttBulkCp.

• Comment lines begin with the comment character. The default comment character is #; this default can be overridden with the -C command-line option or the COMMENTCHAR file attribute (see "File attribute line format"). The comment character must be the first character on the line. Comment lines are ignored by ttBulkCp. Comments at the end of data lines are not supported.

• File attribute lines are used for setting file attributes that control the formatting of the data file. Attribute lines begin with the ten-character sequence ##ttBulkCp. The section "File attribute line format" describes the full syntax for attribute lines. Attribute lines can appear anywhere in the data file.

• Data lines contain the rows of the table being copied. Data lines in the data file and rows of the table correspond one-to-one; that is, each data line completely describes exactly one row. Each data line consists of a list of column values separated by the field separator character. The default field separator is a comma (,). This default can be overridden by the -s command-line option or the FSEP file attribute. The section "Data line format" describes the full syntax for data lines.

File attribute line format

The format of an attribute line is:

##ttBulkCp[:attribute=value]...

Attribute lines always begin with the ten-character sequence ##ttBulkCp, even if the comment character is not #. This sequence is followed by zero or more file attribute settings, each preceded by a colon.

File attribute settings remain in effect until the end of the input file or until they are changed by another attribute line in the same input file. The values of any file attributes that are omitted in an attribute line are left unchanged.

Most command line options take precedence over the values in the file attributes that are supported by ttBulkCp. The CHARACTERSET attribute is the only file attribute that overrides command line options.

The file attributes are:

• CHARACTERSET: Specifies the character set to be used to interpret the data file. If the file attribute is not set, the character set used to interpret the file is the one specified in the ConnectionCharacterSet connection attribute. For best performance, the value of the DatabaseCharacterSet connection attribute should match either the ConnectionCharacterSet connection attribute or this file attribute. If the character set supplied in ConnectionCharacterSet connection attribute or in this file attribute is different than the actual character set of the file, ttBulkCp may interpret data incorrectly.

• VERSION: Specifies the version of the file format used in the file, expressed as major.minor. The only supported version is 1.0.

• DATEMODE: Specifies whether an Oracle database DATE type is specified as simple date or as timestamp.

• FSEP: Specifies the field separator character used in the file. The field separator can be set to \t (tab) or any of the characters: ~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) = : ; | < > ? , / .

• QUOTES: Indicates whether character string values in the file are enclosed in double quotes. The value can be 0, to indicate that strings are not quoted, or 1, to indicate that strings are quoted. This value can be overridden with the -Q option.

• COMMENTCHAR: Specifies the comment character used in the file. The comment character can be set to \t (tab) or any of the characters: ~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) = : ; | < > ? , / .

The comment character can also be set to the value none, which disables the use of comments in the data file.

• DFORMAT: Sets the date format. For a list of legal values, see "Date, time and timestamp values". When a custom format is used, it should be enclosed in single quotes. This value can be overridden with the -D/-dformat command-line option. See also: TFORMAT and TSFORMAT.

• NCHARENCODING: Indicates the encoding to be used for the NCHAR and NVARCHAR2 data types. The value may be either ASCII or UTF-8.

• TFORMAT: Indicates the time format. For a list of legal values, see "Date, time and timestamp values". When a custom format is used, it should be enclosed in single quotes. This value can be overridden with the -tformat command-line option. See also: DFORMAT and TSFORMAT.

• TSFORMAT: Sets the timestamp format. For a list of legal values, see "Date, time and timestamp values". When a custom format is used, it should be enclosed in single quotes. This value can be overridden with the -tsformat command-line option. See also: DFORMAT and TFORMAT.

Examples

The following header line sets the field separator character to $ and disables quoting of character strings:

##ttBulkCp:FSEP=$:QUOTES=0

The following header line disables comments and sets the date format to the Oracle format:

##ttBulkCp:COMMENTCHAR=none:DFORMAT=Oracle

The following header line set the date format to a custom format:

##ttBulkCp:DFORMAT='Mon DD, YYYY'

Data line format

Data lines contain the row data of the table being copied. Each data line corresponds to a row of the table; rows cannot span input-file lines. A data line consists of a list of column values separated by the field separator character. Unnecessary whitespace characters should not be placed either before or after the field separator. The format of each value is determined by its type.

Examples

The following input file is for a table with five columns: two char columns, a double column, an integer column and a VARBINARY column. In the "Mountain View" line, the last three columns have NULL values.

##ttBulkCp
# This is a comment.
###### So is this.
# The following line is a blank line.

"New York","New York",-345.09,12,{12EF87A4E5}
"Milan","Italy",0,0,{0x458F}
"Paris","France",1.4E12,NULL,{F009}
"Tokyo","Japan",-4.5E-18,26,{0x00}
"Mountain View","California",,,

Here is an equivalent input file in which quotes are disabled, the comment character is '$' and the field separator is '|':

##ttBulkCp:QUOTES=0:COMMENTCHAR=$:FSEP=|
$ This is a comment.
$$$$$$ So is this.
$ The following line is a blank line.

New York|New York|-345.09|12|12EF87A4E5
Milan|Italy|0|0|0x458F
Paris|France|1.4E12|NULL|F009
Tokyo|Japan|-4.5E-18|26|0x00
Mountain View|California|||

The following command dumps the contents of table mytbl from database mystore into a file called mytbl.dump.

ttBulkCp -o mystore mytbl mytbl.dump

The following command loads the rows listed in file mytbl.dump into a table called mytbl on database mystore, placing any error messages into the file mytbl.err.

ttBulkCp -i -e mytbl.err mystore mytbl mytbl.dump

The above command terminates after the first error occurs. To force the copy to continue until the end of the input file (or a fatal error), use -m 0, as in:

ttBulkCp -i -e mytbl.err -m 0 mystore mytbl mytbl.dump

To ignore errors caused by constraint violations, use -d ignore, as follows.

ttBulkCp -i -e mytbl.err -d ignore mystore mytbl mytbl.dump

Notes

ttBulkCp explicitly sets the Overwrite connection attribute to 0, to prevent accidental destruction of a database. For more information, see "Overwrite".

Real, float or double values may be rounded to zero when the floating point number is small.

The connection attribute PassThrough with a nonzero value is not supported with this utility and returns an error.

When specifying date, time and timestamp formats, incomplete or redundant formats are not allowed in input mode. Specifiers that reference fields that are not present in the data type (for example a minute specifier in a date format) return errors in copy-out mode. In copy-in mode, the values of those specifiers are ignored.

The following caveats apply when disabling quoted strings in the ttBulkCp data file:

• Empty strings and zero-length binary values cannot be expressed, as they cannot be distinguished from NULL.

• If the field separator character appears inside a character string, it must be escaped with a backslash or else it is treated as an actual field separator.

• If a data line begins with a character string and that string begins with the comment character, that character must be escaped with a backslash or else the line is treated as a comment. If there are no actual comments in the file, set the comment character to none to avoid characters from being misread as comment characters.

For UTF-8, NCHAR are converted to UTF-8 encoding and then output. UTF-8 input is converted to NCHAR.

For ASCII, those NCHAR values that correspond to ASCII characters are output as ASCII. For those NCHAR values outside of the ASCII range, the escaped Unicode format is used.

On Windows, this utility is supported for all TimesTen Data Manager and Client DSNs.

It is recommended that you do not run DDL SQL commands while running ttBulkCp to avoid lock contention issues for your application.

Description

Captures information about the state of TimesTen at the time the command is used. This information may be useful in diagnosing problems. Sometimes TimesTen Customer Support must make repeated incremental requests for information to diagnose a customer's problem in the field.

The information captured by this utility may be requested by TimesTen Customer Support and may be sent with your support email.

The utility does not interpret errors. It only collects information about the state of things and sends output to the ttcapture.date.number.log file in the directory from which you invoke the ttCapture utility. This utility collects general information that is usually relevant to support cases.

Required privilege

This utility requires the instance administrator privilege.

If authentication information is not supplied in the connection string or DSN, this utility prompts for a user ID and password before continuing.

While primarily intended for use by TimesTen customer support to diagnose problems with internal data structures of a TimesTen database, the information returned by ttCheck may be useful to system administrators and developers.

The ttCheck utility should be run when there are no active transactions on the system.

The ttCheck utility checks views in the same manner as other tables in a database. The utility cannot verify that the contents of a view matches view query's result.

If no structures are specified, ttCheck checks all structures. No errors are returned if a specified table's name or user is not found.

This utility may take some time to run. Verbosity level 2 enables you to print a progress report.

This utility is supported only where the TimesTen Data Manager is installed.

Description

Manages TimesTen active standby pairs that take advantage of the high availability framework of Oracle Clusterware. This utility starts administrative processes, generates scripts and performs other functions to administer active standby pairs and the corresponding Clusterware resources.

For more information about using Oracle Clusterware to manage TimesTen active standby pairs, see Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database Replication Guide.

These commands are available only with advanced high availability:

• ttCWAdmin -addMasterHosts

• ttCWAdmin -addSubscriberHosts

• ttCWAdmin -createVIPs

• ttCWAdmin -delMasterHosts

• ttCWAdmin -delSubscriberHosts

• ttCWAdmin -dropVIPs

These commands fail with basic high availability.

Required privilege

On Windows 2008, a user with Administrators privileges can execute all commands as Administrator. On other supported Windows platforms, any user that has Administrator privileges can execute all commands in this utility.

On UNIX, the root user can execute all commands in this utility. These commands must be executed by the root user:

• ttCWAdmin -addMasterHosts

• ttCWAdmin -addSubscriberHosts

• ttCWAdmin -createVIPs

• ttCWAdmin -delMasterHosts

• ttCWAdmin -delSubscriberHosts

• ttCWAdmin -ocrConfig

• ttCWAdmin -dropVIPs

The administrator user can execute all other commands in this utility.

If authentication information is not supplied in the connection string or DSN, this utility prompts for a user ID and password before continuing.

Syntax

ttCWAdmin -stop -dsn DSN

ttCWAdmin -startapps -dsn DSN

ttCWAdmin -stopapps -dsn DSN

ttCWAdmin -shutdown [-hosts "host_name1, host_name2[, ...]"]

Options

ttCWAdmin has these options:

Examples

To create and start an active standby pair managed by Oracle Clusterware, using the clusterDSN DSN, enter:

ttCWAdmin -create -dsn clusterDSN
ttCWAdmin -start -dsn clusterDSN

To stop and drop an active standby pair managed by Oracle Clusterware, using the clusterDSN DSN, enter:

ttCWAdmin -stop -dsn clusterDSN
ttCWAdmin -drop -dsn clusterDSN

Notes

When you use Oracle Clusterware with TimesTen, you cannot use these commands and SQL statements:

• CREATE ACTIVE STANDBY PAIR, ALTER ACTIVE STANDBY PAIR and DROP ACTIVE STANDBY PAIR SQL statements.

• The -cacheStart and -cacheStop options of the ttAdmin utility after the active standby pair has been created.

• The -duplicate option of the ttRepAdmin utility.

• The ttRepStart and ttRepStop built-in procedures.

• Built-in procedures for managing a cache grid when the active standby pair in a cluster is a member of a grid.

• The -repStart and -repStop options of the ttAdmin utility.

In addition, do not call ttDaemonAdmin -stop before calling ttCWAdmin -shutdown.

The TimesTen integration with Oracle Clusterware accomplishes these operations with the ttCWAdmin utility and the attributes in the cluster.oracle.ini file.

Description

Starts and stops the TimesTen main daemon and Server.

Required privilege

This utility requires the instance administrator privilege.

Syntax

ttDaemonAdmin {-h | -help | -?}
ttDaemonAdmin {-V | -version}
ttDaemonAdmin [-force] {-start | -stop | -restart}
ttDaemonAdmin [-startserver | -restartserver]
ttDaemonAdmin [-force] -stopserver
ttDaemonAdmin -verbose

Options

ttDaemonAdmin has the options:

Notes

Changes to the TimesTen Server options are temporary. To permanently set or disable the TimesTen Server options, you must change the options in the ttendaemon.options file.

Use the -force option with caution, as it may leave databases in a state where you must perform recovery procedures.

When you use this utility on Windows Vista, you must be running with Windows Administrative privileges.When you stop the daemon (ttDaemonAdmin -stop), first stop all application connections to the database. This includes stopping the replication agent and the cache agent, if they are running. This decreases startup time when the daemon is restarted. In addition, not stopping application connections or agents can result in the database becoming in validated.

If the Oracle Clusterware agent is running, you must stop it on the local host before stopping the TimesTen main daemon (ttDaemonAdmin -stop). If you do not stop the Clusterware agent, the main daemon stops temporarily with this command, but then restarts. To stop the Oracle Clusterware agent, use:

ttcwadmin -shutdown -hosts localhost

When you use this utility to restart the server, the TimesTen daemon reads the ttendaemon.options files to see if it has been changed since it was last read. If the file has been changed, TimesTen checks for the values of the options:

-server -serverShmIpc -serverShmSize -noserverlog

Description

The TimesTen daemon (referred to as the TimesTen Data Manager Service on Windows) and its subdaemons and agents write error and status messages to the following daemon logs:

• A user error log that contains information you should be aware of, including actions you may need to take

• A support log containing everything in the user error log plus information of use by TimesTen Customer Support

The ttDaemonLog utility enables you to do the following:

• Control the types of events and categories of messages that are reported in the user error log.

• Display all messages or selected categories of messages from the log to the standard output.

Required privilege

This utility requires the instance administrator privilege.

Syntax

ttDaemonLog {-h | -help | -?}
ttDaemonLog {-V | -version}
ttdaemonLog [-show type] [-b | -r | -s] [-f] [-maxlines]
[-loglevel level [DSN | -connstr connStr]]
[-[no]logcomponent component [DSN | -connstr connStr]]
[-logreset] [-msg messagestring] [-setquiet | -setverbose]
[-file filename] [-facility name]
[-n computer]

Options

ttDaemonLog has the options:

Examples

By default, the ttDaemonLog utility logs messages and errors from all the TimesTen components. You can narrow the scope of what is written to the log by setting the -nologcomponent option. This option can be applied to selected databases or all databases.

To display all the output from the TimesTen daemon and server on your local computer:

ttDaemonLog

To prevent messages and errors related to replication for all databases from being written to the log:

ttDaemonLog -nologcomponent replication

To prevent messages and errors related to replication for the masterdsn database from being written to the log:

ttDaemonLog -nologcomponent replication masterdsn

To prevent both replication and TimesTen Cache errors and messages from being written:

ttDaemonLog -nologcomponent replication
ttDaemonLog -nologcomponent cache

If, after disabling a component through the -nologcomponent option, you want to re-enable it, you can use the -logcomponent option. For example, after disabling messages for replication and TimesTen Cache as shown in the preceding example, you can re-enable replication messages as follows:

ttDaemonLog -logcomponent replication

To re-enable logging for all TimesTen components, use the -logreset option:

ttDaemonLog -logreset

The TimesTen Server generates a message each time an application connects to or disconnects from a client DSN if these messages were specified to be generated during installation. To display just the server log messages:

ttDaemonLog -show server

To display just the replication agent messages:

ttDaemonLog -show replication

To display just the cache agent messages:

ttDaemonLog -show cache

To display all messages from the TimesTen processes:

ttDaemonLog -show all

To restore logging to its default "verbose" level, use the -setverbose option:

ttDaemonLog -setverbose

On UNIX, to write the log output to the file /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log:

ttDaemonLog -file /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log

On UNIX, to direct logging to the local7 facility:

ttDaemonLog -facility local7

Notes

While primarily intended for use by TimesTen Customer Support, this information may be useful to system administrators and developers.

This utility is supported only where the TimesTen Data Manager is installed.

To permanently set or disable verbose logging, change the options in the ttendaemon.options file. See "Modifying informational messages" in the Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database Operations Guide.

Description

Destroys a database including all checkpoint files, transaction logs and daemon catalog entries (though not the DSNs).

Required privilege

This utility requires the instance administrator privilege.

Syntax

ttDestroy {-h | -help | -?}
ttDestroy {-V | -version}
ttDestroy [[-wait] [-timeout secs]] [-force] {-connStr connection_string | 
 DSN | dspath}

Options

ttDestroy has the options:

Examples

ttDestroy /users/pat/TimesTen/Daily/F112697

Notes

Using ttDestroy is the only way to delete a database completely and safely. Do not remove database checkpoint or transaction log files manually.

This utility is supported only where the TimesTen Data Manager is installed.

In the case that the database to be destroyed is part of a cache grid, ttDestroy performs a detaches the database from the grid.

ttDestroy does not perform cleanup of Oracle database objects from autorefresh or AWT cache groups. If there are autorefresh or AWT cache groups in the database, execute the cachecleanup.sql script to clean up the cache objects in the Oracle database for that particular database, to generate Oracle SQL to perform cleanup after the database has been destroyed.

Description

You can execute SQL statements and call TimesTen built-in procedures from ttIsql. You can execute SQL interactively from the command line. For a detailed description on running SQL from ttIsql, use the -helpfull option. In addition, you can call a TimesTen built-in procedure with call procedure-name.

The ttIsql command attempts to cancel an ongoing ODBC function when the user presses Ctrl-C.

On UNIX, this utility is supported for TimesTen Data Manager DSNs. Use ttIsqlCS for client/server DSNs.

The ttIsql utility starts with AUTOCOMMIT turned on, even when running a script. You can turn AUTOCOMMIT off and back on as necessary.

For more details on the ttIsql utility, see the chapter "Using the ttIsql Utility" in the Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database Operations Guide

Required privilege

This utility requires no privileges.

Syntax

ttIsql {-h | -help | -? | -helpcmds | - helpfull}
ttIsql {-V | -version}
ttIsql [-f inputFile] [-v verbosity] [-e commands | sql_statement] 
[-interactive] [-N ncharEncoding] [-wait] {-connStr connection_string | DSN}

Options

ttIsql has the options:

Commands

Also see the list of ttIsql "Set/show attributes".

Boolean commands can accept the values "ON" and "OFF" or "1" and "0".

ttIsql has the commands:

Command> DEFINE _EDITOR=vi

variable array_name 
'[' array_size ']'
 data_type(n):= 
'[' value1, ... valuex ']'

Syntax for the IF-THEN-ELSE command construct

This section provides the syntax for the IF-THEN-ELSE construct. For more details on using the IF-THEN-ELSE command construct, see "Conditional control with the IF-THEN-ELSE command construct" in the Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database Operations Guide.

IF [NOT] 
   { Literal1 | :BindVariable1 } 
   { =  | IN } 
   { Literal2 | :BindVariable2 | SelectStatement } 
 THEN "ThenCommands" 
 [ ELSE "ElseCommands" ] ;

The ttIsql IF-THEN-ELSE command has the parameters:

Restrictions for the IF-THEN-ELSE construct are as follows:

• You cannot compare variables of the LOB data type.

• The values are compared case-sensitive with strcmp. A character padded value might not match a VARCHAR2 because of the padding.

Syntax for the WHENEVER SQLERROR command

Execute the WHENEVER SQLERROR command to prescribe what to do when a SQL error occurs. For more details and examples on how to use the WHENEVER SQLERROR command, see "Error recovery with the WHENEVER SQLERROR" command in the Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database Operations Guide.

WHENEVER SQLERROR { ExitClause | ContinueClause | SUPPRESS |
     SLEEP Number | ExecuteClause }

When you specify EXIT, always exit ttIsql if an error occurs. ExitClause is as follows:

EXIT [ SUCCESS | FAILURE | WARNING | Number | :BindVariable ]
 [ COMMIT | COMMIT ALL | ROLLBACK ]

When you specify CONTINUE, ttIsql continues to the next command, even if an error occurs. ContinueClause is as follows:

CONTINUE [ COMMIT | COMMIT ALL | ROLLBACK | NONE ]

Execute specified commands before continuing. ExecuteClause is as follows:

EXECUTE "Cmd1;Cmd2;...;"

The WHENEVER SQLERROR command options are as follows:

• EXIT: Always exit ttIsql if an error occurs. Specify what is performed before ttIsql exits with one of the following. SUCCESS is the default option for EXIT.

  • SUCCESS or FAILURE or WARNING: Return SUCCESS (value 0), FAILURE (value 1), or WARNING (value 2) to the operating system after ttIsql exits for any SQL error.

  • Number: Specify a number from 0 to 255 that is returned to the operating system as a return code. Once ttIsql exits, you can retrieve the error return code with the appropriate operating system commands. For example, use echo $status in the C shell (csh) or echo $? in the Bourne shell (sh) to display the return code.

    The return code can be retrieved and processed within batch command files to programmatically detect and respond to unexpected events.

  • :BindVariable: Returns the value in a bind variable that was previously created in ttIsql with the variable command. The value of the variable at the time of the error is returned to the operating system in the same manner as the Number option.

    Note:

    The bind variable used within the WHENEVER SQLERROR command cannot be defined as a LOB, REFCURSOR, or any array data type.

  In addition, you can specify whether to commit or rollback all changes before exiting ttIsql.

  • COMMIT: Executes a COMMIT and saves changes only in the current connection before exiting. The other connections exit with the normal disconnect processing, which rolls back any uncommitted changes.

  • COMMIT ALL: Executes a COMMIT and saves changes in all connections before exiting.

  • ROLLBACK: Before exiting, executes a ROLLBACK and abandons changes in the current connection and, by default, in all other connections. The other connections exit with the normal disconnect processing, which automatically rolls back any uncommitted changes.

• CONTINUE: Do not exit if an error occurs. The SQL error is displayed, but the error does not cause ttIsql to exit. The following options enable you to specify what is done before continuing to the next ttIsql command:

  • NONE: This is the default. Take no action before continuing.

  • COMMIT: Executes a COMMIT and saves changes in the current connection before continuing.

  • COMMIT ALL: Executes a COMMIT and saves changes in all connections before continuing.

  • ROLLBACK: Before continuing, executes a ROLLBACK and abandons changes in the current connection and, by default, in all other connections. The other connections exit with the normal disconnect processing, which automatically rolls back any uncommitted changes.

• SUPPRESS: Do not show any error messages and continue.

• SLEEP: Sleep for a specified number of seconds before continuing.

• EXECUTE: Execute specified commands before continuing. Each command is separated from the other commands by a semicolon (;). If any command triggers additional errors, those errors may cause additional actions that could potentially result in a looping condition.

Set/show attributes

Also see the list of ttIsql "Commands". Some commands appear here as attributes of the set command. In that case, you can use them with or without the set command.

Boolean attributes can accept the values "ON" and "OFF" or "1" and "0".

The ttIsql set command has the attributes:

Comment syntax

The types of comment markers are:

# [comment_text]
-- [comment_text]
/* [comment_text] */

The C-style comments ( /* [comment_text] */) can span multiple lines.

The comments delimited by the

#

and the

-

characters should not span multiple lines. If a comment marker is encountered while processing a line, ttIsql ignores the remainder of the line.

'--' at the beginning of a line is considered a SQL comment. The line is considered a comment and no part of the line is included in the processing of the SQL statement. A line that begins with '--+' is interpreted as a segment of a SQL statement.

The comment markers can work in the middle of a line.

Example:

monitor; /*this is a comment after a ttIsql command*/

Command history

ttIsql implements a csh-like command history.

Command Usage: history [-r] [num_commands]

Description: Lists previously executed commands. The num_commands parameter specifies the number of commands to list. If the -r parameter is specified, commands are listed in reverse order.

Command Usage: ! [command_id|command_string| !]

Description: Executes a command in the history list. If a command_id argument is specified, the command in the history list associated with this ID is executed again. If the command_string argument is specified, the most recent command in the history list that begins with command_string is executed again. If the ! argument is specified then the most recently executed command is executed again.

Example: "!!;" -or- "!10;" -or- "!con;"

Also see the clearhistory, history, savehistory commands.

Command shortcuts

By default, ttIsql supports keystroke shortcuts when entering commands. To turn this feature off, use:

Command> set editline=0;

The ttIsql keystroke shortcuts are:

Parameters

With dynamic parameters, you are prompted for input for each parameter on a separate line. Values for parameters are specified the same way literals are specified in SQL.

SQL_TIMESTAMP columns can be added using dynamic parameters. (For example, values like '1998-09-08 12:1212').

Parameter values must be terminated with a semicolon character.

The possible types of values that can be entered are:

• Numeric literals. Example: 1234.5

• Time, date or timestamp literals within single quotation marks. Examples:

  '12:30:00''2000-10-29''2000-10-29 12:30:00''2000-10-29 12:30:00.123456'
  

• Unicode string literals within single quotation marks preceded by 'N'. Example: N'abc'

• A NULL value. Example: NULL

• The '*' character that indicates that the parameter input process should be stopped. Example: *

• The '?' character prints the parameter input help information. Example: ?

Example parameters of command string substitution

Command> select * from dual where :a > 100 and :b < 100;
Type '?' for help on entering parameter values.
Type '*' to end prompting and abort the command.
Type '-' to leave the parameter unbound.
Type '/;' to leave the remaining parameters unbound and execute the command.

Enter Parameter 1 'A' (NUMBER) > 110
Enter Parameter 2 'B' (NUMBER) > 99
< X >
1 row found.
Command> var a number;
Command> exec :a := 110;

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

Command> print a
A                    : 110
Command> var b number;
Command> exec :b := 99;

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

Command> select * from dual where :a > 100 and :b < 100;
< X >
1 row found.
Command> print
A                    : 110
B                    : 99
Command> select * from dual where :a > 100 and :b < 100 and :c > 0;
Enter Parameter 3 'C' (NUMBER) > 1
< X >
1 row found.
Command>

Default options

You can set the default command-line options by exporting an environment variable called TTISQL. The value of the TTISQL environment variable is a string with the same syntax requirements as the TTISQL command line. If the same option is present in the TTISQL environment variable and the command line then the command line version always takes precedence.

Examples

Execute commands from ttIsql.inp.

ttIsql -f ttIsql.inp

Enable all output. Connect to DSN RunData and create the database if it does not exist.

ttIsql -v 4 -connStr "DSN=RunData;AutoCreate=1"

Print the interactive commands.

ttIsql -helpcmds

Print the full help text.

Example of managing XLA bookmarks

You can use the xlabookmarkdelete command to both check the status of the current XLA bookmarks and delete them. This command requires XLA privilege or object ownership.

For example, when running the XLA application, 'xlaSimple', you can check the bookmark status by entering:

Command> xlabookmarkdelete;

XLA Bookmark: xlaSimple
  Read Log File: 0
  Read Offset: 630000
  Purge Log File: 0
  Purge Offset: 629960
  PID: 2808
  In Use: No
1 bookmark found.

To delete the bookmark, enter:

Command> xlabookmarkdelete xlaSimple;
Command>

Example parameters using "variable" and "print"

Substitution in ttIsql is modeled after substitution in SQL*Plus. To enable the substitution feature, use set define on or set define substitution_char'. The substitution character when the user specifies 'on' is '&'. It is disabled with 'set define off'.By default, substitution is off. The default is off because the & choice for substitution character conflicts with TimesTen's use of ampersand as the BIT AND operator.When enabled, the alphanumeric identifier following the substitution character is replace by the value assigned to that identifier. When disabled, the expansion is not performed.New definitions can be defined even when substitution is off. You can use the define command to list the definitions ttIsql predefines.

Command> show define
define = 0 (OFF)
Command> define
DEFINE            _PID = "9042" (CHAR)
DEFINE      _O_VERSION = "TimesTen Release 11.2.1.0.0" (CHAR)
Command> select '&_O_VERSION' from dual;
< &_O_VERSION >
1 row found.
Command> set define on
Command> SELECT '&_O_VERSION' FROM DUAL;
< TimesTen Release 11.2.1.0.0 >
1 row found.

If the value is not defined, ttIsql prompts you for the value.When prompting with only one substitution character specified before the identifier, the identifier is defined only for the life of the one statement.If two substitution characters are used and the value is prompted, it acts as if you have explicitly defined the identifier.

Command> SELECT '&a' FROM DUAL;
Enter value for a> hi
< hi >
1 row found.
Command> define a
symbol a is UNDEFINED
The command failed.
Command> SELECT '&&a' FROM DUAL;
Enter value for a> hi there
< hi there >
1 row found.
Command> define a
DEFINE               a = "hi there" (CHAR)

Additional definitions are created with the define command:

Command> define tblname = sys.dual
Command> define tblname
DEFINE         tblname = "sys.dual" (CHAR)
Command> select * from &tblname;
< X >
1 row found.

Arguments to the run command are automatically defined to '&1', '&2', ... when you add them to the run or @ (and @@) commands:Given this script:

CREATE TABLE &1 ( a INT PRIMARY KEY, b CHAR(10) );
INSERT INTO &1 VALUES (1, '&2');
INSERT INTO &1 VALUES (2, '&3');SELECT * FROM &1;

Use the script:

Command> SET DEFINE ON
Command> @POPULATE mytable Joe Bob;

CREATE TABLE &1 ( a INT PRIMARY KEY, b CHAR(10) );
INSERT INTO &1 VALUES (1, '&2');
1 row inserted.

INSERT INTO &1 VALUES (2, '&3');
1 row inserted.

SELECT * FROM &1;
< 1, Joe        >
< 2, Bob        >
2 rows found.
Command>

This example uses the variable command. It deletes an employee from the employee table. Declare empid and name as variables with the same data types as employee_id and last_name. Delete the row, returning employee_id and last_name into the variables. Verify that the correct row was deleted.

Command> VARIABLE empid NUMBER(6) NOT NULL;
Command> VARIABLE name VARCHAR2(25) INLINE NOT NULL;
Command> DELETE FROM employees WHERE last_name='Ernst'
       > RETURNING employee_id, last_name INTO :empid,:name;
1 row deleted.
Command> PRINT empid name;
EMPID                : 104
NAME                 : Ernst

Notes

The ttIsql utility supports only generic REF CURSOR variables, not specific REF CURSOR types.

Multiple ttIsql commands are allowed per line separated by semicolons.

The ttIsql utility command line accepts multiline PL/SQL statements, such as anonymous blocks, that are terminated with the "/" on it's own line. For example:

Command> set serveroutput on
Command> BEGIN
> dbms_ouput.put_line ('Hi There');
> END;
>/
Hi There

PL/SQL block successfully executed.

Command>

For UTF-8, NCHAR values are converted to UTF-8 encoding and then output.

For ASCII, those NCHAR values that correspond to ASCII characters are output as ASCII. For those NCHAR values outside of the ASCII range, the escaped Unicode format is used. For example:

U+3042 HIRAGANA LETTER A

is output as

Command> SELECT c1 FROM t1;
< a\u3042 >

NCHAR parameters must be entered as ASCII N-quoted literals:

Command> prepare SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE c1 = ?; 
Command> exec;

Type '?;' for help on entering parameter values. Type '*;' to stop the parameter entry process.

Enter Parameter 1> N'XY';

On Windows, this utility is supported for all TimesTen Data Manager and Client DSNs.

Description

Performs one of these operations:

• Saves a migrate object from a TimesTen database into a binary data file.

• Restores the migrate object from the binary data file into a TimesTen database.

• Examines the contents of a binary data file created by this utility.

Migrated objects include:

• Tables

• Cache group definitions

• Views and materialized views

• Materialized view log definitions

• Sequences

• Replication schemes

Use the ttMigrate utility when upgrading major release versions of TimesTen, since database checkpoint and log files are not compatible between major releases. For an example, see the Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database Installation Guide.

When you migrate a database into Release 11.2.1 from a previous release, TimesTen does not migrate users and user privileges. When you migrate a database between releases of Release 11.2.1 or into a release later than Release 11.2.1, TimesTen migrates users and user privileges.

Binary files produced by this utility are platform-dependent. For example a binary file produced on Windows must be restored on Windows. In client/server mode, use ttMigrateCS (UNIX only) utility to copy data between platforms.

Binary files produced by this utility are platform-specific. For example, a binary file produced on Windows 64-bit must be restored on Windows 64-bit. To copy data between platforms or bit levels, use ttMigrate with the ttMigrateCS client/server version (or Windows equivalent). On Windows systems, you can do the equivalent by using ttMigrate to connect to the source system from the target system through a defined TimesTen client DSN.

On UNIX, this utility is supported for TimesTen Data Manager DSNs. For TimesTen Client DSNs, use the utility ttMigrateCS.

Required privilege

This utility requires various privileges depending on the options specified. In general, a user must be the instance administrator or have the ADMIN privilege to use this utility.

Using the -r option requires the instance administrator privilege, as it generally creates a database. If the database has been created at the time this option is used, it requires CREATE ANY TABLE, CREATE ANY SEQUENCE, CREATE ANY VIEW, CREATE ANY MATERIALIZED VIEW, CREATE ANY CACHE GROUP, CREATE ANY INDEX privileges and ADMIN if autocreation of users is necessary. If the database is involved in replication or TimesTen Cache, then CACHE_MANAGER is also required.

Using the -c option to capture an entire database requires the ADMIN privilege. If the database is involved in replication or TimesTen Cache, then CACHE_MANAGER is also required. Using the -c option to capture a subset of the database objects (tables, views, materialized views, cache groups, sequences) requires SELECT ANY TABLE and SELECT ANY SEQUENCE privileges.

Options

ttMigrate has the options:.

The following ttMigrate options are available in restore mode (-r) only:

Modes

Create mode (-c) and Append mode (-a)

In create mode, ttMigrate saves migrate objects from a TimesTen database into a new binary data file. If the data file does not exist, ttMigrate creates it. Otherwise, ttMigrate overwrites the existing file, destroying its contents.

The data file format used by ttMigrate is independent of any release of TimesTen, so it is possible to use ttMigrate to migrate data from one TimesTen release to another.

In Append mode, ttMigrate appends migrate objects from a TimesTen database to an existing data file. If the data file does not exist, ttMigrate creates it.

For each ordinary (non-cached) table, ttMigrate saves:

• The table description: the name and type of each of the table's columns, including primary key and nullability information.

• The table's index definitions: the name of each index and the columns contained in the index. The actual contents of the index are not saved; ttMigrate only saves the information needed to rebuild the index when the table is restored.

• The table's foreign key definitions. You can disable the saving of foreign key definitions using the -nf option.

• The rows of the table. You can disable the saving of rows using the -nr option.

For each cache group, ttMigrate saves the following:

• The cache group definition: the cache group owner and name, the names of all tables in the cache group and any relevant cache group settings, such as the cache group duration.

  Note:

  After ttMigrate has been used to restore a database, all autorefresh cache groups in the restored database have AUTOREFRESH state set to OFF, no matter how it was set on the source database. After restoring a cache group with ttMigrate -r, reset its AUTOREFRESH STATE to ON by using the ALTER CACHE GROUP statement (this can be done programmatically or with the ttIsql utility.

• All the cached tables in the cache group: the table name, column information, table attributes (propagate or read-only), WHERE clause, if any, foreign key definitions and index definitions.

For each view, ttMigrate saves the following:

• All the same information as a normal table.

• The query defining the view.

For each sequence, ttMigrate saves the following:

• The complete definition of the sequence.

• The sequence's current value.

For each user (except the instance administrator), ttMigrate saves the following:

• User name.

• The user's encrypted password.

• Privileges that have been granted to the user.

For PUBLIC, ttMigrate saves all privileges that have been granted to PUBLIC after database creation.

If there are any replication schemes defined, ttMigrate saves all of the TTREP tables containing the replication schemes. Replication schemes should have names that are unique from all other database objects. It is not possible to migrate a replication scheme with the same name as any other database object.

By default, ttMigrate saves all database objects and users in the database to the data file, including tables, views, cache groups, sequences, users and replication schemes. Alternatively, you can give a list of database objects to be saved on the command line, except for replication schemes. The names in this list can contain the wildcard characters % (which matches one or more characters) and _ (which matches a single character). ttMigrate saves all database objects that match any of the given patterns. You do not need to be fully qualify names: If a name is given with no owner, ttMigrate saves all database objects that match the specified name or pattern, regardless of their owners.

You cannot save cached tables independently of their cache groups. If you list a cached table on the command line without also listing the corresponding cache group ttMigrate issues an error.

Use the -v option to control the information that ttMigrate prints while the save is in progress.

Restore mode (-r)

In Restore mode, ttMigrate restores all database objects from a data file into a TimesTen database.

For each ordinary (non-cached) table, ttMigrate restores:

• The table, using the original owner, table name, column names, types and nullability and the original primary key.

• The table's foreign keys. You can use the -nf flag to disable the restoration of foreign keys.

• All indexes on the table.

• All rows of the table. You can use the -nr flag to disable the restoration of rows.

For each cache group, ttMigrate restores:

• The cache group definition, using the original cache group owner and name.

• Each cached table in the cache group, using the original table names, column names, types and nullability, the original primary key, the table attributes (PROPAGATE or READONLY), and the WHERE clause, if any.

• The foreign key definitions of the cached tables.

• All the indexes on the cached tables.

  Note:

  The ttMigrate utility does not restore the rows of cached tables, even if you have not specified the -nr option. The foreign key definitions of the cached tables are always restored, regardless of the use of the -nf option, as they are needed to maintain the integrity of the cache group.

By default, the -exactUpgrade option is set during restore.

By default, ttMigrate restores all tables and cache groups in the data file. Alternatively, you can list specific tables and cache groups to be restored on the command line. The names in this list must be fully qualified and cannot use wildcard characters.

You cannot restore cached tables independently of their cache groups. If you list a cached table on the command line without also listing the corresponding cache group, then ttMigrate issues an error.

Use the -v option to control the information that ttMigrate prints while the restoration is in progress.

The -inline option may be used to control whether variable length columns are restored as INLINE or NOT INLINE. See "Type specifications" in Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database SQL Reference. In the default mode, -inlinepreserve, ttMigrate restores all variable-length columns with the same INLINE or NOT INLINE setting with which they were saved. In the other two modes, -inlinedsDefault and -inlinemaxlen, ttMigrate restores variable-length columns equal to or shorter than a threshold length as INLINE, and restores all other variable length columns as NOT INLINE. For-inlinedsDefault, this threshold is the default automatic INLINE length for a TimesTen database. The -inlinemaxlen mode restores variable length columns with a user-specified threshold length of maxlen as INLINE, and all other variable length columns as NOT INLINE, even if they were saved as INLINE. If maxlen is 0, then all variable-length columns are restored as NOT INLINE.

List mode (-l) and Long-list mode (-L)

In List mode, ttMigrate lists the names of database objects in the specified data file, including cached tables and the replication scheme TTREP tables.

In Long-list mode, ttMigrate lists the names of database objects in the data file, including cached tables and the replication scheme TTREP tables, along with the number of rows in each table and the index definitions for each table, the query defining each view and the specifications for each sequence.

By default, ttMigrate lists the replication scheme name and all the database objects in the file. Alternatively you can provide a list of names of database objects on the command line. The names in this list must be fully qualified and cannot use wildcard characters.

Describe mode (-d)

In Describe mode, ttMigrate gives a short description for database objects in the specified file.

For each table, ttMigrate lists the table name, the number of rows in the table, and the table's column definitions, primary key and foreign keys. For cached tables, ttMigrate also lists the table attributes (PROPAGATE or READONLY) and the table's WHERE clause, if any.

For views, ttMigrate also lists the query defining the view.

For cache groups, ttMigrate lists the cache group name, the number of tables in the cache group, the cache group duration and describes each cached table in the cache group.

For replication schemes, ttMigrate lists the replication scheme name and all the TTREP replication scheme tables in the same manner as user tables.

By default, ttMigrate describes all the database objects in the file. Alternatively, you can provide a list of names of database objects on the command line. The names in this list must be fully qualified and cannot use wildcard characters.

Long-describe mode (-D)

In Long-describe mode, ttMigrate gives a full description for database objects in the specified file.

For each table, ttMigrate lists the table's name and the number of rows in the table, the table's column definitions, primary key, foreign keys and index definitions. For cached tables, ttMigrate also lists the table attributes (PROPAGATE or READONLY) and the table's WHERE clause, if any.

For cache groups, ttMigrate lists the cache group name, the number of tables in the cache group, the cache group duration and describes each cached table in the cache group.

For sequences, ttMigrate lists all the values used to define the sequence and its current value.

For replication schemes, ttMigrate lists all the TTREP replication scheme tables in the same manner as user tables.

By default, ttMigrate describes all of database objects in the file. Alternatively, you can provide a list of names of database objects on the command line. The names in this list must be fully qualified and cannot use wildcard characters.

TimesTen to Oracle Database data type conversions

Both TimesTen and Oracle Database data types are supported in TimesTen 11.2.2 When migrating a database from an earlier version of TimesTen to TimesTen release 11.2.2, you can convert the data types in your database to the default Oracle type mode. This is not required, however.

In replication, the type mode must be the same on both sides of the replication scheme. Therefore you cannot convert the data types as part of an online upgrade, as TimesTen releases prior to 11.2.2 do not support Oracle Database data types.

To convert from TimesTen data types to Oracle Database data types, use the -convertTypesToOra option.

The -convertTypesToOra option instructs ttMigrate to make the following type conversions as it saves or restores tables:

For information on data types, see "Data Types" in the Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database SQL Reference.

Oracle Database to TimesTen data type conversions

When migrating tables backward from TimesTen release 11.2.2 to an earlier version of TimesTen, you may need to convert Oracle Database data types to TimesTen data types, as the Oracle database data types were not supported in releases before 11.2.2.

To convert from Oracle Database data types to TimesTen data types, use the -convertTypesToTT option.

The -convertTypesToTT option instructs the ttMigrate utility to make the following type conversions as it saves or restores tables:

For information on data types, see "Data Types" in the Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database SQL Reference.

Cache group data type conversions

When restoring a database that contains cache groups from a TimesTen release that is earlier than 7.0, use the -convertCGTypes. option to convert the data type of columns from pre-7.0 types to more clearly map with the data types of the columns in the Oracle database with which the cache group is associated.

The following table describes the type mapping.

For information on data types, see "Data Types" in Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database SQL Reference and "Mappings between Oracle Database and TimesTen data types" in Oracle TimesTen Application-Tier Database Cache User's Guide.

Return codes

The ttMigrate utility restore (-r) and create (-c) commands return the following exit codes:

0 - All objects were successfully created or restored.

1 - Some objects successfully created or restored. Some objects could not be created or restored due to errors.

2 - Fatal error, for example, could not connect or could not open the data file.

3 - Ctrl-C or another signal received during the create or restore operation.

Examples

The following command dumps all database objects from database SalesDS into a file called sales.ttm. If sales.ttm exists, ttMigrate overwrites it.

ttMigrate -c SalesDS sales.ttm

This command appends all database objects in the SalesDS database owned by user MARY to sales.ttm:

ttMigrate -a SalesDS sales.ttm MARY.%

This command restores all database objects from sales.ttm into the SalesDS database:

ttMigrate -r SalesDS sales.ttm

This command restores MARY.PENDING and MARY.COMPLETED from sales.ttm into SalesDS (migrate objects are case-insensitive):

ttMigrate -r SalesDS sales.ttm MARY.PENDINGMARY.COMPLETED

This command lists all migrate objects saved in sales.ttm:

ttMigrate -l sales.ttm

Notes

When migrating backward into a release of the Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database that does not support features in the current release, TimesTen generally issues a warning and continues without migrating the unsupported features. In a few cases, where objects have undergone conversion, ttMigrate may fail and return an error message. This may be the case with conversions of data types, character sets and primary key representation.

The following restrictions, limitations and suggestions should be considered before preparing to use ttMigrate.

Asynchronous materialized view: When migrating to a previous release, asynchronous materialized views are ignored and TimesTen returns a warning.

Cache groups: In restore mode, the presence of foreign key dependencies between tables may require ttMigrate to reorder tables to ensure that a child table is not restored before a parent table.

When migrating databases that contain cache groups from a previous release of TimesTen to TimesTen 7.0 or greater, you must use the option -convertTypesToOra. See "Cache group data type conversions" for a description of the data type mapping.

Character columns in cached tables must have not only the same length but also the same byte semantics as the underlying Oracle database tables. Cache group migration fails when there is a mismatch in the length or length semantics of any of its cached tables.

The connection attribute PassThrough with a nonzero value is not supported with this utility and returns an error.

Character sets: By default, ttMigrate stores table data in the database character set, unless you have specified the -saveAsCharset option. At restore time, conversion to another character set can be achieved by migrating the table into a database that has a different database character set. When migrating data from a release of TimesTen that is earlier than 7.0, TimesTen assumes that the data is in the target database's character set. If the data is not in the same database character set as the target database, the data may not be restored correctly.

When migrating columns with BYTE length semantics between two databases that both support NLS but with different database character sets, it is possible for migration to fail if the columns in the new database are not large enough to hold the values in the migrate file. This could happen, for example, if the source database uses a character set whose maximum byte-length is 4 and the destination database uses a character set whose maximum byte-length is 2.

TimesTen issues a warning whenever character set conversion takes place to alert you to the possibility of data loss due to conversion.

Data type conversions: When migrating data from a pre-7.0 release of TimesTen, you must explicitly request data type conversions, using either the -convertTypesToOra or the -convertTypesToTT options.

ttMigrate saves the length semantic annotation (BYTE or CHAR) of CHAR and VARCHAR columns and restores these annotations when restoring into TimesTen releases that support them. When migrating backward into a TimesTen release that does not support these annotations, columns with CHAR length semantics are converted to BYTE length, but their lengths are adjusted to match the byte length of the original columns. When migrating forward from a release that does not support these annotations, BYTE length semantics are used.

Foreign key dependencies: In restore mode, the presence of foreign key dependencies between tables may require ttMigrate to reorder tables to ensure that a child table is not restored before any of its parents. Such dependencies can also prevent a child table from being restored if any of its parent tables were not restored. For example, when restoring a table A that has a foreign key dependency on a table B, ttMigrate first checks to verify that table B exists in the database. If table B is not found, ttMigrate delays the restoration of table A until table B is restored. If table B is not restored as part of the ttMigrate session, TimesTen prints an error message indicating that table A could not be restored due to an unresolved dependency.

Indexes: TimesTen supports range indexes as primary-key indexes into TimesTen releases that support this feature. When migrating backward into a release that does not support range indexes as primary-key indexes, the primary keys are restored as hash indexes of the default size. When migrating forward from a release that does not support range indexes as primary-key indexes, the primary keys are restored as hash indexes of the same size as the original index.

TimesTen also supports bitmap indexes. When migrating backward into a release that does not support bitmap indexes, ttMigrate converts the bitmap indexes to range indexes.

INLINE columns: When migrating TimesTen tables that contain INLINE variable length columns to a release of TimesTen that is earlier than 5.1, you must explicitly use the -relaxedUpgrade option. Using the default -exactUpgrade option results in an error. The INLINE column attributes are maintained, unless you specify otherwise using the -inline option.

Materialized view logs: TimesTen does not save the content of materialized view logs, only the definition.

Replication: Before attempting a full store migrate of replicated stores, ensure the host name and database name are the same for both the source and destination databases.

System views: TimesTen does not save the definitions or content of system vies during migration.

Other considerations: Because ttMigrate uses a binary format, you cannot use ttMigrate to:

• Migrate databases between hardware platforms.

• Restore data saved with ttBackup or use ttBackup to restore data saved with ttMigrate.

Platforms: You can use ttMigrate together with ttMigrateCS (client server version of ttMigrate) to migrate databases between 32- and 64-bit platforms or bit levels. You must use the -relaxedUpgrade option when restoring data on a new bit-level. In the case of changing bit-levels, the database cannot be involved in a replication scheme. Follow the examples in "Moving a database between 32-bit and 64-bit platforms" in the Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database Installation Guide.

• On Windows, you can use ttMigrate to access databases from any release of TimesTen. On Windows, this utility is supported for all TimesTen Data Manager and Client DSNs.

• On UNIX, the release of ttMigrate must match the release of the database you are connecting to.

It is recommended that you do not run DDL SQL commands while running ttMigrate to avoid lock contention issues for your application.
