Benchmark Modifications




Schema Modifications:

  Tablespace sizes were increased to support the Injection rate.
  Scripts to create the DB are included in the FDA.
  Two indexes were created on the M_largeorder table:
  CREATE UNIQUE INDEX M_lo_idx ON M_largeorder  (lo_id)
  CREATE UNIQUE INDEX M_OL_O_idx ON M_largeorder (lo_o_id, lo_ol_id)






Load Program Modifications:

  The load program was not modified

  Mfg.PartEnt			Read Committed		RC
  Orders.ItemEnt		Read Committed		RC
  Supplier.SupplierCompEnt	Read Committed		RC
  Supplier.SupplierEnt		Read Committed		RC
  
  The ItemEnt bean was cached for 20 minute intervals by setting
  is-read-only-bean=true and refresh-period-in-seconds=1200 in the
  sun-orders.xml deployment descriptor.
  Only the data inside the bean was cached.






Durability Requirement Info:

  To ensure database durability, RAID 1 (mirror disks)
  was used for the database files and logs maintained
  on the Sun StorEdge 3310 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:

  A 75 minute run at an injection rate of 160 increased storage by 118.34 MB
  This extrapolates to 2.21 GB of storage for a 24 hour run.
  The Sun StorEdge 3310 Array utilized 10 drives in a
  RAID 1 logical drive for a total of 340 GB of available 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.

The MySQL Connector/J JDBC Driver is a type 4 driver.

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 continuous checkpoints, where MySQL database engine InnoDB
flushes modified database pages from the buffer pool in small batches.

The Cisco Catalyst 3508 switch used default settings.
