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 M_INVENTORY table was horizontally partitioned.
  System managed undo was used.

Load Program Modifications:

Durability Requirement Info: To ensure database durability, RAID 1 (mirror disks) was used for the database files and logs maintained on the Sun StorEdge 3510 Array. Each application server has a pair of mirrored disks (using the onboard controller) to provide durability for all the server logs and filestore for JMS persistence.
Storage Requirement Info: An 75 minute run at an injection rate of 1065 increased storage by 2400 MB This extrapolates to 46 GB of storage for a 24 hour run. The database is configured with 1752 GB of storage. The Sun StorEdge 3510 FC Array was configured with a single RAID 1 logical drive.
Argument Passing Semantics: BEA WebLogic 9.0 uses pass-by-value as required by the EJB Specification.

Other Benchmark Information

  The submission used round-robin DNS for load-balance of
  all HTTP network requests. The DNS server was hosted
  on the database server.
  
  This submission used the xerces implementation 2.6.2 provided with WebLogic 9.0.

General Notes

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

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