4 Working With the TimesTen Daemon
The TimesTen daemon starts when TimesTen is installed. The daemon runs in the background.
The TimesTen daemon performs the following functions:
-
Starts the TimesTen server
-
Manages shared memory access
-
Coordinates process recovery
-
Keeps management statistics on what databases exist, which are in use, and which application processes are connected to which databases
-
Manages RAM policy for TimesTen Classic
-
If requested, starts replication processes and the cache agent.
Application developers do not interact with the daemon directly. No application code runs in the daemon and application developers do not generally have to be concerned with it. Application programs that access TimesTen databases communicate with the daemon transparently using TimesTen internal routines.
The following sections discuss interaction with the TimesTen daemon:
