Creating a TimesTen Client Instance

A TimesTen client instance can be used to connect to a database in either TimesTen Scaleout or in TimesTen Classic.

This is an example of creating a client instance. See "Client-Only Installations and Instances" for detailed information about client-only installations and instance, including multiple examples.

Navigate to the installation_dir/tt22.1.1.25.0/bin area and run the ttInstanceCreate utility, specifying the -clientonly option. User input is shown in bold.

% installation_dir/tt22.1.1.25.0/bin/ttInstanceCreate -clientonly
 
NOTE: Each TimesTen instance is identified by a unique name.
      The instance name must be a non-null alphanumeric string, not longer
      than 255 characters.
