Schema Modifications: 
  No changes were made to the benchmark schema.
Load Program Modifications: 
  No changes were made to the load program.

Benchmark Configuration Information
Isolation Requirement Info: 
  The following beans: PartEnt, ComponentEnt, AssemblyEnt, BomEnt and
  LargeOrderEnt in the Manufacturing Domain, ItemEnt in the Orders Domain,
  and SupplierCompEnt and SupplierEnt in the Supplier Domain were
  accessed using READ_COMMITTED which is Cursor Stability (CS) for DB2.
  The remaining beans were accessed using REPEATABLE_READ which
  translates to DB2 isolation level of Read Stability (RS).
  
  The ItemEnt bean was cached for 20 minute intervals using the WebSphere
  Lifetime in Cache Mechanism.  Only the data inside the bean was cached.
Durability Requirement Info: 
  To ensure database durability, RAID-5E (utilizing block-level striping
  and distributed parity) was used for the database logs maintained on the
  EXP300 Storage Expansion Unit.
  
  Each application server and the JMS server has a pair of mirrored disks
  (using the x335 integrated mirroring).  This provides durability for
  transaction logs, message queues, and message logs.
Storage Requirement Info: 
  Over the course of a 95 minute run at an injection rate of 785, database
  storage increased 820MB.  Given a linear scale, a 24 hour run at the same
  injection rate would increase storage by 12429.47MB.  The FAStT200 Storage Server
  was configured with two RAID-5E logical volumes consisting of five 36.4GB
  disks each.  These two volumes were merged into a single file system using
  LVM striping that yielded 102400 MB of total disk storage for the database.
Argument Passing Semantics: 
  WebSphere Application Server V5.1 uses pass-by-value semantics by default

Other Benchmark Information 
  The switch ports and all network adapters are 1Gb/sec.
  
  Three types of load balancing were utilized:
    WebSphere's workload management performed load balancing for RMI/IIOP requests.
    Site Selector balanced HTTP connections across the two IHS web servers.
    The IHS WebSphere plugin balanced load across the WebSphere nodes and
    also maintained session affinity to a particular node.
  
  This submission used the xerces implementation (version - XML4J 4.2.2) provided
  with WebSphere Application Server V5.1 in the IBM 1.4.1 JDK.

General Notes 
The only errors in the driver log files were those that are normally generated by this benchmark.

The IBM DB2 Universal JDBC Driver (XA) is a type 2 driver.

DB2 uses "Soft" checkpoint to ensure that no updates remain unflushed for
longer than the allowed time.

When DB2 UDB Server changes a database table with an update, insert, or delete
operation, the change is initially made in memory, not on disk. When there is
not enough space in the memory buffer to read in or write additional data pages,
DB2 UDB Server will make space by flushing some modified pages to disk.
Modified pages are also written to disk as part of the "Soft" checkpoint to
ensure that no updates remain unflushed for longer than the allowed time.
Before a change is made to the database, it is first recorded in the
transaction log. This ensures that the database can be recovered completely
in the event of a failure. Using the transaction log, transactions that
started but did not complete prior to a failure can be undone, and
transactions recorded as complete in the transaction log but not yet written
to disk can be redone.

DB2 UDB uses a write-ahead-logging protocol to guarantee recovery. This
protocol uses "Soft" checkpoint to write least-recently-used database pages
to disk independent of transaction commit. However, enough log information to
redo/undo the change to a database pages is committed to disk before the
database page itself is written. This protocol therefore renders checkpoint
unnecessary for DB2 UDB. For a more detailed description of the general
principles of the write-ahead-logging protocol, see the IBM research paper,
ARIES: A Transaction Recovery Method Supporting Fine Granularity Locking and
Partial Rollbacks Using Write-Ahead Logging," by C. Mohan, Database Technology
Institute, IBM Almaden Research Center. (http:// portal.acm.org/citation.cfm
?id=128770&coll=portal&dl=ACM&CFID=10343790&CFTOKEN=42047146)

XA 2-phase transactions were used to coordinate the interaction between the database
server and JMS server.
