Post-Installation Path Considerations

In a TimesTen environment, ODP.NET finds and uses the appropriate version of OCI; namely, the Oracle Client version and not the TimesTen Instant Client version.

In addition, check the following for your path:

  • Confirm that the PATH setting has the location of the TimesTen shared libraries at timesten_home\bin, where timesten_home is the TimesTen instance home directory. This should follow any other Oracle directories in the path.

    Note that on Windows, there is only one TimesTen instance per installation, and timesten_home (the instance home) refers to tt_installation_dir\instance.

  • For an XCopy installation, add your ODAC installation directory and ODAC installation bin directory to the PATH setting, preceding any other Oracle directories, including TimesTen directories. For example, if C:\oracle\odac is the installation directory:

    set PATH=C:\oracle\odac;C:\oracle\odac\bin;%PATH%

Note:

Refer to the ODP.NET README file for any further information about setting up ODP.NET.
