Benchmark Modifications

Schema Modifications:

  Tablespace sizes were increased to support the Injection rate.
  Scripts to create the DB are included in the FDA.
  Table and index initrans were modified
  Automatic segment space management was used for all tablespaces.
  The O_ORDERS, O_ORDERLINE, M_WORKORDER, M_INVENTORY, M_LARGEORDER,
  C_CUSTOMER, and C_CUSTOMERINVENTORY tables were horizontally partitioned.
  System managed undo was used.

Load Program Modifications:

  The load program was not modified

Only the data inside the bean was cached.
Durability Requirement Info: To ensure database durability, RAID 1 (mirror disks) was used for the database logs maintained on the Sun StorEdge 3510 Array. Each application server has a pair of mirrored disks (using Solaris raidctl utility) to provide durability for the XA transaction logs, message queues, and message logs.
Storage Requirement Info: An 85 minute run at an injection rate of 730 increased storage by 954 MB This extrapolates to 16.2 GB of storage for a 24 hour run. The database is configured with 876 GB of storage.
Argument Passing Semantics: Sun Java System Application Server 8.1 uses pass-by-value semantics by default.

Other Benchmark Information

  The submission used round-robin DNS for load-balance of
  all HTTP network requests. The DNS server was hosted
  on one of the application servers.
  The submission used multiple URLs to establish connections
  to the EJB tier using RMI/IIOP.
  
  This submission used the xerces implementation 2.6.2 provided
  with the Sun Java System Application Server 8.1. The emulator
  used xerces implementation 2.5.0 provided with the Jakarta
  Tomcat 4.1.31.

General Notes

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

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

Database checkpoints during the Measurement Interval were done by
using the Oracle SQLPlus command: alter system checkpoint

The 2 Cisco Catalyst 2970 switches used default settings.
