Architectural Overview of TimesTen Classic and Cache
This section describes the architecture of TimesTen Classic and cache.
The architecture of TimesTen Classic is the same as the architecture of cache except that the Oracle database and cache agent are not included. Figure 3-1 shows the architecture of cache.

Description of "Figure 3-1 TimesTen and Cache Architecture"
The architectural components include shared libraries, memory-resident data structures, database processes, and administrative programs. The application can connect to the TimesTen database by direct link and by client/server connections.
Replication agents receive information from master databases and send information to subscriber databases. The cache agent performs all asynchronous data transfers between cache groups in the TimesTen and the Oracle databases.
