release of TimesTen. For example, a 5.0 client can connect to a 7.0
Server DSN.

Note: Applications linked to newer TimesTen clients cannot connect to
a Server DSN of any older releases. For example, a 5.1 client cannot
connect to a 5.0 Server DSN.

Note: For security reasons, client/server communication is not
normally allowed between TimesTen 7.0 and previous versions. In order
to perform an online upgrade with client/server, you must start the main
TimesTen 7.0 daemon with the

-insecure-backwards-compat

option.

See

“Communicating with older versions of TimesTen” on page 71

of

the

Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database Operations Guide

for more

information.

Limitations

If a 5.0 client is connecting to a 5.1 or later Server DSN, the source of
the log messages in the syslog (or in the specified file) pertaining to that
connection will still be 5.0 because the 5.0 Server binary performs the
logging.

Client/Server online upgrade example

To connect an older client application to a newer TimesTen Server DSN,
use the procedure described in the following example:

For this example, the hostname for the server machine is

my_server

.

TimesTen 5.1 is installed in

install_dir_51

at

my_server.

The port

number for the TimesTen daemon is 15100. The port number that
TimesTen Server is listening on is 15102.

TimesTen 7.0 is installed in

install_dir_70

at

my_server

. The port

number for TimesTen daemon is 17000. The port number that TimesTen
Server is listening on is 17002.

The

sys.odbc.ini

file at

my_server

contains:

[my_server_dsn51]

Driver=install_dir_51/lib/libtten.so

DataStore=/tmp/ds_51

[my_server_dsn70]

Driver=install_dir_70/lib/libtten.so

DataStore=/tmp/ds_70
