Destroying a TimesTen Client Instance

The ttInstanceDestroy utility destroys an existing instance. The instance that will be destroyed is based on the current setting of the TIMESTEN_HOME environment variable, which indicates the instance home directory. Run the ttInstanceDestroy utility that is located in the bin directory of the associated installation. (For example, installation_dir/tt22.1.1.25.0/bin.)

Only the instance administrator (the user who created the instance) can destroy the instance.

Note:

There can be no existing connections to databases associated with the instance you are destroying.

Run the ttInstanceDestroy utility with the -help option to list the available options. See ttInstanceDestroy in Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database Reference for detailed descriptions.

Note:

The -force option completes the operation without prompting for confirmation.

This example runs the ttInstanceDestroy utility interactively to destroy the client. instance. The utility runs from the installation_dir/tt22.1.1.25.0/bin directory (the installation directory for the instance). Recall that the instance home directory (timesten_home) contains a subdirectory (/install) that is a symbolic link to the top-level directory of the instance's associated installation. See Instance Home for information.
