What's New

This section summarizes new features and functionality of TimesTen Release 22.1 that are documented in this guide, providing links into the guide for more information.

New features in Release 22.1.1.17.0

• Previously, you could only provide cache administration user credentials by providing the cache administration user name and both of its passwords to the TimesTen and Oracle databases individually in a client DSN or using connection attributes. Now, you can specify cache administration user credentials within an Oracle Wallet where the wallet location is provided when opening a connection. The preferred method of specifying the cache administration user name and both passwords is by storing them in an Oracle Wallet.

  See Providing Both Cache Administration Users and Passwords.

• You must register the Oracle database cache administration user name and password internally in the TimesTen database before any cache group operation can be issued. Before you register the Oracle cache administration user and password internally within the TimesTen database, you must decide if you want to save these credentials in an Oracle Wallet (recommended) or within memory (the default). To save the credentials within an Oracle Wallet, ensure that the CacheAdminWallet connection attribute is set to 1 (likely in your DSN). This directs that the registration of the Oracle cache administration user name and password is stored in an Oracle Wallet.

  See Registering the Oracle Database Administration User and Password.

New features in Release 22.1.1.6.0

• TimesTen supports the use of certificates signed by a third-party certificate authority. See Using CA-Signed Certificates for Client/Server in TimesTen Classic.

• The list of supported cipher suites has been updated. See Transport Layer Security for TimesTen Client/Server. (The same cipher suites are supported for replication.)

New Features in Release 22.1.1.1.0

• New support and features have been added for use of Transport Layer Security:

  • TimesTen Scaleout now supports TLS for client/server. Encryption and cipher suites options have been added to the ttGridAdmin gridCreate command. You can export certificates and configuration information from the server using the ttGridAdmin gridClientExportAll command and import into the client using the ttClientImport utility.

  • There are new features for TimesTen Classic support of TLS for client/server. Encryption and cipher suites options have been added to the ttInstanceCreate utility. You can export certificates and configuration information from the server using the ttAdmin -clientExportAll option and import into the client using the ttClientImport utility.
