Copying an Installation on Linux/UNIX

You can copy an installation to another host by copying the installation ZIP file from the source host to the target host and unzip it on that host. You can also use any suitable mechanism, such as the ZIP utility, to bundle an installation on the source host and then extract it into another location or onto another host. This might be useful, for example, if the original TimesTen distribution is not conveniently available. The copied installation is valid as long as the file permissions are maintained appropriately.

This example uses the ZIP utility to copy an installation between hosts:

1. On the originating host, from the installation directory (the directory that the installation was extracted into), create a ZIP file containing the installation (the top-level tt22.1.1.25.0 directory and its contents).

   % zip my2211250install.zip tt22.1.1.25.0
   

2. Transport the ZIP file to the target host.
3. On the target host, from the directory above the desired location of the installation, extract the ZIP file:

   % unzip my2211250install.zip
   

   This will create the tt22.1.1.25.0 directory and extract the installation there.

On the target host, optionally run ttInstallationCheck to verify the new copy of the installation.

From the directory you copied the installation into:

% installation_dir/tt22.1.1.25.0/bin/ttInstallationCheck
This installation has been verified.
