For software requirements, refer to the Oracle Enterprise Manager for Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database User's Guide.
This section lists known problems and limitations.
TimesTen database home page:
In some cases, if you attempt to view the home page of a recently added TimesTen database target, you may see "N/A" for the value of some metrics. If this occurs, wait a few minutes while Enterprise Manager collects the metrics.
If you attempt to view the home page of a TimesTen database target that is not loaded into memory, some fields may contain "0" and the information in graphs may be stale. If this occurs, load the TimesTen database into memory and wait a few minutes before monitoring the target.
TimesTen database backup and restore page:
In some cases, if you attempt to create a backup schedule without specifying a Backup File Prefix, you may see a "Prefix can't be determined; provide one." error message. If this occurs, ensure that your TimesTen database has been loaded into memory for at least 15 minutes.
TimesTen database start/stop agents page:
In some cases, if you attempt to start the TimesTen cache agent of a database that is installed on the Windows platform, the start button on the TimesTen database start/stop agents page does not work. If this occurs, ensure that the TNS_ADMIN environment variable is defined. Then, restart the Enterprise Manager agent process from the Enterprise Manager console.
TimesTen database cache synchronization metrics page:
If you add or remove a read-only cache group while you are viewing data in real time on the Cache Autorefresh tab, the Readonly Cache table does not show the updated read-only cache groups. There are two workarounds and both require that you wait the duration of the agent upload interval time (default is 15 minutes):
Logout of Enterprise Manager and then log back in to Enterprise Manager.
Change your View Data option to Last 24 Hours and refresh the page. Once the page refreshes, change the View Data option to Real Time.
When your TimesTen target database is configured using the connection attribute CacheAWTMethod=0 (SQL array execution), the PL/SQL Execution Method (Batches sent to Oracle database) metric from the Cache AWT tab may increment. This is expected.
Generic:
All graphs show the time based on the time zone of your browser even if the time zone of your monitoring agent is different. The agent time zone is listed in the top right corner of each Enterprise Manager page.
The agent may not pick up the correct time zone on the host. If this happens, do the following:
Log on to the agent host.
Make sure the agent host is configured using the appropriate time zone. For more information on configuring the agent host using the appropriate time zone, contact your system administrator.

There may be missing replication monitor information if the Enterprise Manager Agent does not run as the same operating system user as the TimesTen instance administrator. Make sure to install the Enterprise Manager Agent as the same operating system user as the TimesTen instance administrator.
Historic statistics for your TimesTen target are not removed when the database is destroyed and recreated. Statistics from the previous database will still display. If you want to remove the old statistics, drop and recreate the TimesTen target in Enterprise Manager.
If you try to access a target from your Favorites list that has been deleted, an error displays. Acknowledge the error messages and remove the target from your Favorites list. If the Enterprise Manager browser window becomes unresponsive, use the browser back button to access other pages.
