TimesTen Installation 75
PATH environment variable
TimesTen provides utilities for managing and debugging TimesTen 
applications. To make these utilities readily available, include the 
bin 
directory found in install_dir in the PATH environment variable.
Note: install_dir is the directory where TimesTen is installed.
On Windows, the PATH environment variable must also contain the bin 
directory of the ORACLE installation, if you are using the Cache 
Connect to Oracle option.
ODBCINI environment variable
TimesTen applications use the odbc.ini file to define data sources and 
their data store attributes. (For a description of data store attributes, see 
Chapter 1, “Data Store Attributes in the Oracle TimesTen In-Memory 
Database API Reference Guide.) By default on UNIX platforms, 
TimesTen first looks for the 
.odbc.ini file in the home directory of the 
user running the TimesTen application. To override the name and 
location of this file at run-time, set the $
ODBCINI environment variable 
to the pathname of a
.odbc.ini file before launching the TimesTen 
SYSODBCINI
Set to the location where the 
sys.
odbc.ini file used by 
TimesTen system data stores 
is to be found. This 
environment variable should 
be set in the start-up script.

variable” on page 76
SYSTTCONNECTINI
Set to the location where the 
sys.ttconnect.ini file 
used by TimesTen Client 
applications to define logical 
server names.

environment variable” on 
page 76
TMP or TMPDIR
Set to the location of the 
temporary directory. 
TimesTen uses this directory 
during recovery and other 
operations.
