Newbie, help with timesten 6.0.2

Question

hi guys, i'm trying to install and configure timesten 6.0.2, in the same PC (it's name is demoserver) i have installed oracle 10g 10.2.0.1, the client tools for oracle 10g 10.2.0.0
i'm reading a document called cacheconnect.pdf it is installed with timesten documentation, i have tried to install timesten with and without Access Control, and in the same case is the same error, the user i logged on windows is 'ricardo', it's password is 'verde13' i'm doing the follow steps agreed the pdf file:
sqlplus system/passwordr@system1 system1 is the oracle service
SQL> CREATE USER testuser IDENTIFIED BY mypsswrd
DEFAULT TABLESPACE users;
SQL> GRANT connect, resource, create any trigger TO testuser;
SQL> COMMIT;
SQL> EXIT
then
Create a TimesTen DSN
Create a simple TimesTen system data source (System DSN), named cgDSN, as
described in Chapter 2, “Creating TimesTen Data Stores” of Oracle TimesTen In-
Memory Database Operations Guide.
For cgDSN, set:
• Data Store Path and Name: c:\temp\cgds
• Permanent Data Sz (MB): 16
• Temporary Data Sz (MB): 16
• User ID: testuser (this ID is also used as the Oracle User ID)
• Oracle ID: system1
• Oracle Password: mypsswrd
Use defaults for all other settings.
in this case i'm trying without Access Control so i skip this
Create an account on TimesTen
Note: You need to create an account on TimesTen only if you have Access
Control enabled on your TimesTen data store.
Use the ttIsql utility to connect to the cgDSN data store. Then use the CREATE
USER and GRANT statements to create a user, named testuser, with ADMIN
and DDL privileges:
ttIsql cgDSN
Command> CREATE USER testuser IDENTIFIED BY mypsswrd
Command> GRANT ADMIN, DDL TO testuser
skip end
Connect to your new Oracle account and create a table:
sqlplus testuser/mypsswrd@system1
SQL> CREATE TABLE readtab (a NUMBER(10,0) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
b CHAR(31));
Then insert some rows and commit the changes:
SQL> INSERT INTO readtab VALUES (1, 'hello');
SQL> INSERT INTO readtab VALUES (2, 'world');
SQL> COMMIT;
Use the ttIsql utility to connect to the cgDSN data store. At the command prompt,
use the ttCacheUidPwdSet procedure to pass the cache administration user ID
and password as parameters.Then call the ttCacheStart procedure to start the
cache agent for the data store. In this example, the cache administration user ID
is testuser and the password is mypsswrd:
ttIsql cgDSNCommand> call ttCacheUidPwdSet('testuser','mypsswrd');
Command> call ttCacheStart();
here is my problem without Access Control i dont have an adminstrator, the error is:
Previous attempt resulted in the following:
Backend failed with exit status 1:
C:\TimesTen\tt60\srv\info\ws\cgi-bin\cache/ttBackEnd.exe -connStr "DSN=CGDSN" -user "RICARDO" -oraclepwd [Omitted] -oralogin
ERROR in ttBackEnd.c, line 864: prepare failed
ODBC Error/Warning = S1000, Additional Error/Warning = 5107
TT5107: Oracle(OCI) error in OCIServerAttach(): ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified rc = -1 -- file "bdbConnect.c", lineno 1381, procedure "ttBDbConnect()"
ODBC Error/Warning = S1000, Additional Error/Warning = 5131
TT5131: Cannot connect to Oracle database: connect_string = "orcl", uid = "RICARDO", pwd is hidden -- file "bdbConnect
and with Access Control enabled is the same, how can i fix it?? i dont think is the TNS because from another client PC i can connect to Oracle using SQLPlus o VS.Net
i hope you can help me.
Regards.

With 6.0.3 I overcome this problem. But before installation make sure that ORACLE_HOME is set correctly as an environment parameter. And if it is not set, after setting you should reboot your computer.
